    Looking for a brigher/stronger SF...opinions?

    How about the D3/C3 with HOLA and Pila batteries for cost effectiveness? Very bright and rechargeable. Dave

    Usual Suspects Network forum

    Hi guys, thanks for the replies. I didn't know about the crash in April. That was about the time I couldn't login. I just re-registered and am waiting to have my account activated. If only I'd of known sooner Thanks for the help. Dave

    Usual Suspects Network forum

    Can anyone else access this site? For the last several months, I have not been able to login. I even emailed the administrator twice and got no answer. Even though I never posted much, I am sure I didn't post anything that would get me banned, unless they were getting rid of the "dead wood"...

    Flashlights on COPS show

    I carry my own 6P on my belt, with my issued SL 20x. In my bag I carry my 6P+A19=9P with P90. On occasion I will bring along either an E1e w/KL1 or L4 for "playing". Most of the guys on my department either carry a 6P, Scorpion, Stinger or UltraStinger on their belt. Add to this the issued...

    Surefire tailcap question

    Al and Brightflashlites, I just now got my email working (at least for now) and really appreciate the pics from both. Now I know I really want the Z58/59. Actually, I really should be cursing you both, since it will now cost me more $$$. Thanks anyway. Dave

    Surefire tailcap question

    Al, thanks for the assistance. Unfortunately, my email seems to be taking a crap right now (I'm sure it's not my 1940's computer) so I'll keep trying. Even the description you provided helps tremendously. Thanks. Dave

    Surefire tailcap question

    Can someone tell me the difference (pictures would certainly help!) between the Z48/49 and the Z58/59 tailcaps? I know the 48/58 are HA, but from descriptions I have read, they all sound the same in terms of function. Thanks for any assistance. Dave

    Some L2 musings...

    If you people don't soon stop posting good things about the L2, I'm going to have to save up for one. "The L2 is great, good, fine, the best,...Blah, blah, blah..." Next thing ya know, I'm selling something or working overtime to make a new purchase. This must end! Dave

    If I had PK's ear, my first wish would be.

    Re: If I had PK\'s ear, my first wish would be. TIN, To tell the truth, I only indicated the E2e w/MN02 since that is what I have. That light is only used when I need to see clearly at a distance and I've found the MN03 is too bright for most needs, in addition to the shorter runtime. At...

    If I had PK's ear, my first wish would be.

    Re: If I had PK\'s ear, my first wish would be. I would agree. After using the L4, KL1 and KL3 for awhile, I still find a need for the light qualities provided by incandescent lights. LED lights are certainly cool, but aren't best for all purposes. When I go camping, my "bright" light is an...

    Some L2 musings...

    Today I was at a local shop that carries a full line of Surefire stuff. Of course I had to check them out. They had two L2's in stock and the clerk handed me one to play with. After playing with it for several minutes, including time in a darkened corner, I must say I will not be purchasing...

    Is the Surefire E2E worth the wait

    I guess it's only normal depending on where you ordered it. I will say that I have two E2e's and an L4, so I believe I'm biased. Dave

    Who EDC an MN02?

    I use the MN02 in my E2e, but only while camping. Since I normally use my PT Attitude for general lighting duties in the woods, the MN02 really hasn't been used that much. I have had it for over a year and have had no problems, though. Dave

    Why I still carry incandescents

    Kfasold, Great, post that info. on the modified 6P and what happens? I now have a new light that I "must" have. Of course it didn't help that I've actually been thinking of adding a 3 cell SF to the herd. This might have put me over the edge. Hey, my kids ate last week, right? On the...

    Why I still carry incandescents

    Wow! Thanks for all the replies, I wasn't sure this topic would warrant much of a look/see. I think Dano was able to put into words what I meant and felt at the time. The ambient light would have caused a problem with the L4 (even though I think it's very cool!!) I guess I've just decided...
