    What are you toting today?

    It was too warm for a heat source, and I didn’t need a campfire,so I left my M6 back at home.

    What are you toting today?

    With the nicer weather I’ve been hiking the trails near the lake in my environs. Been keeping my M4/MN60 in my inner jacket pocket. Not much lumens compared to some of the favourite LED currents, but it throws incredibly well and isn’t hard on my eyes. Great light setup

    Surefire M3 Workarounds & Options?

    I have had contact issues like you describe for years- but only with the LF M3 MN15 equivalent. Even then, I give a hit to the side of the body of the flashlight, and it usually subsides, then is good for the remainder of the time my batteries are installed until next recharge. Occasionally I...

    Brand new P61 bulbs burned out continuously

    Dredged this one up, because I recently had two P61’s that blew quite quickly. First was in a NIB 6P that I installed primaries in. I’ve been using Titanium Innovations. Installed a NIB Z59 and got may five or six sets of batteries, then, HALFWAY through a set, it flashed-about mid way through...

    A little help with Surefire head disassembly?

    My original Fury Defender was brutal. I was a tech in a shop at the time and two of us hanging off the damn thing didn't even make it budge. And that was with strap wrenches. Never got it off, just used 17670 or 16650

    Malkoff Opinions

    I’ve still got a few first generation M60’s. They’re still relevant today and just bombproof

    Why do LED lights still suck and why do I still use incans or HIDs, your opinions or disagreements please.

    Place in Canada still has P90’s on their site..30$ But only one…one other has them for 20$ I’ll see if it’s there next week

    I was going to purchase a new LED from one of a few limited choices, but I have so many lamps, parts and flashlights from Surefire that I figured my Christmas gift to me was 200 Titanium Innovations 123’s from BJ. Love LED, but my incandescent lights have so much character

    Why do LED lights still suck and why do I still use incans or HIDs, your opinions or disagreements please.

    Did this ten years ago when I stocked up on all my incans. Got a bunch of those 3.7V Incan drop ins for like $3.25 each. If you read my previous post, I alluded to 2013. I had been hoarding incandescent for a couple years at that point, knowing full well that Incan were going to dry up someday...

    Surefire still stocks the P60!

    2013 was one of the last years that I recall being able to still somewhat easily acquire all my favourite Surefire incandescent lamp assemblies. Most sources are no longer stocking. These days I imagine even a P60 is getting rare. I still like a P60 on primaries. A P61 is very nice also. My...

    WTB MDC HA 1CR123 Flashlight

    Good day CPF. Looking for one of these in good condition. Multimode preferred depending on price as single mode is my second choice. Neutral tint preferred. Must ship to Canada, or if you’re already here even better. Thank you, D

    Z2 Combat Light

    Looks like electrical and mechanical rooms. All the places I used to use my cherished incans in as a younger soldier working on said equipment

    Surefire lamps on LiFePO4

    Agreed with the other members on 6v SF lamps. I literally have hundreds. I've tried many times with various configuration. I tried using lifepo4 cells years ago. Best succès I had was it would turn on and run. But that was luck. Next few times they simply died. My greatest success with incan...

    Why is the SureFire C2 so good?

    I recently put a HO4 in my C2 and used one of those rechargeable 18650 batteries with the port directly on the positive end. I never would thought twenty years ago when I received my first C2 I’d be able to have usb compatible Incan on a Surefire. Wow.
