    Are CR2 flashlights a dying breed?

    I'm wishing for a light about the size of the Aeon with a clicky. I know it would have to be a little longer (maybe) but no bigger around. Don't need the split ring as it never gets used anyway. Wish wish wish!

    Are CR2 flashlights a dying breed?

    CR2 Clicky would be the ultimate pocket light of all time. I wish for such every time I twist my aeon or Q mini !

    Are CR2 flashlights a dying breed?

    So wish that the 47s mini was available in neutral tint..... It virtually disappears in my pocket and batteries last for months as it is only used in short bursts. I carry it in left front pocket and an Aeon in the right front with an aaa maratac in a shirt pocket. Love the CR2 format for its...

    Comprehensive Grease and Lube Thread

    I purchased some NO-OX-ID A special and am really satisfied so far. It is thick and made the two surefires I have used it on stiffer so that the tail caps don't tend to move while in my pocket. Previously I used teflon tape to provide some friction but this grease is much better.

    Why are Malkoff dropins more expensive than others dropins?

    They contain some kind of special compound that causes your brain to always want another one, no matter how many you have already. This magic dust aint cheap!!

    How long does warranty service normally take for Chinese lights?

    A friend of mine just had to send a Nitecore in for warranty and they told him it would be a 3 month turn around. I could not believe it. Hope you have better luck.

    We wore out a new rainbow, bought a used one and wore it out, ( we vac a lot) then the wife wanted an Oreck. LIghtweight, LOUD! and you talk about feeling cheap! but I guess for something that only weighs 8 lb. it would have to feel cheap. I refuse to use it lol. I picked up a Kirby G5 at a...

    Muyshondt Aeon

    Just have to chime in about the Aeon. I carry a few different EDC lights but I ALWAYS carry the Aeon with me no matter what. It is a true confidence inspiring lighting tool. My HA natural still looks mostly new except for the brass being tarnished/patina after about 4 years of front pocket...

    Navy seal recommends a flashlight for defense against movie theater shooting

    The only light I would even consider shining at a gunman like this would be a crimson trace laser, probably shined at the gas mask/visor, swiftly followed by a steady trigger pull. Its a pretty sure bet that a flashlight would quickly draw a hail of bullets in your general direction which, if...

    Original HDS EDC = Coolest Ever

    The SureFire P2X-B "Fury" 500lu flashlight thread

    Re: shoul;d I get the surefire fury ? If a sharp knife point or an Ice pic or needle does not "catch" when pressed against the lens, but slides across it without leaving a scratch, Its either glass or a new type of polycarbonate that I've not seen or heard of. After getting a M61N a while...

    Retired an old friend today...

    It was a black mini Mag that first lit my way to this addiction. The solid feel of quality machining and output that seemed to match much larger lights and would easily slip into a pocket. It was high tech (to me at least) in the early 80's and is retired with a nitize dropin and lithium AA's...
