    The Malkoff Front Porch

    In a 9P/MD3 setup, what makes great spacers are currency. Just roll up enough for a great fit. The really great benefit is that it's a spare place to carry emergency funds. Especially in a travel context. Got this 9P, stuck a M61LLL 219 in it and a single rolled up FRN, perfect fit. Without it...

    Heavy duty wrist strap lanyard for phone

    Looking for a wrist strap lanyard for my extra heavy phone. I recycled one I got with a light but the phone is huge and heavy (22000 mAh) and want something extra special. The loop part is too thin with almost all lanyard I see on the market. But a paracord would not fit through the hole. I...

    Slippery Pineapples

    I need something for my 2xAA MDC Malkoff. That thing *is* slippery with zero knurling of any kind. I wonder what thought process led to that . . . . creation. Agree with OP. I am not getting any pineapple stuff. I got one in a trade just for a different look, that's the only purpose.

    Malkoff Hound Dog MD4 is the most impressive Malkoff light

    The Super has a very narrow envelope of performance. It works best outside and only with some distance. Not something you want looking at your engine block. It does what it does best, and it's the ultimate Malkoff Device. If I had to keep just one, it would probably be the Super. Mine is...

    The new Malkoff M61SHO

    Its lux is closer to that of M61 than M61T, it just doesn't punch as far. great light, no doubt. I wouldn't turn one down. But's redundant in the array of lights I already got. the regular m61 is weaker, yeah. But it has better runtime.

    I lived my entire life without debt

    The sad reality is that no credit-zero credit people like myself are excluded from major economic activities like financing a really large purchase like a house. Because we never financed any smaller purchases like a car. It's been kind of good but also kind of bad.z Our only option is to...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Ha, that's funny. Vehicles are a great example of what can be bought with cash. You can adjust what you buy up and down based on budget. If you want something now, should have started making payments -- to yourself 60 months ago. It's exactly like dealing with the bank minus the interest...

    I lived my entire life without debt

    Zero debt, ever. No credit cards, no bank loans for anything, no auto loans. I always thought - If you want something, save your pennies until you have enough. I always borrowed from myself, from my emergency fund. At zero percent interest loan you might say. Now however, rapidly approaching...

    SF Z41 tailcap shredding 18650 batteries

    I wish I had paid more attention to which brands were more vulnerable but I got at least one battery damaged beyond any repair. Well, I suppose I could repair it by soldering something to it. It ground a hole in the negative side. The constant twist-on and twist-off of the Surefire Z41 tailcap...

    The Malkoff Front Porch

    / The shrouded versions are a safety thing, you don't want one of these turn on in your pocket and drain to zero when you most need it.

    Hound Dog XPL Lego

    I used to EDC a Surefire 9P loaded with a Malkoff. Or was a FiveMega 9P clone? Anyway, that fit into my pocket but barely. I moved onto to the MD2 format for EDC. And anything outside of EDC gets the MD4 body.

    I am seeing no significant advancements with 2xAAA penlights - my favorite EDC format.

    If I can offer one possible alternative explanation it's because the AA cell is so much more versatile. It's not significantly larger (You can get some pretty slim 2AA lights) but packs 3 times the capacity. 700 mah vs 2000 mAh or so. AAA is one of those cells that has no reason to exist...

    Go for the MD4 body, you will gain minimal length increase but double the runtime. I am exaggerating but you get the point. But you already knew that. Although I get it. MD3 you can EDC but MD4 is a real challenge.
