    Outdoor Retailer Show 2010

    Re: Outdoor Retailer Show I'm going tomorrow. :grin2: I got a postcard from Surefire indicating they're dubuting some new lights at the show. Icon as well. The show has a strict no cameras policy, but I'll see what I can do to get some info. I won't have nearly enough time there, but I'll...

    Best keychain light for EDC backup

    I keep a 4Sevens Quark Mini AA on my keychain. It's very compact, simple to operate, not very big, and with a readily available battery.

    What does "4Sevens" stand for?

    I'm afraid we'll never hear from him directly on this issue at this point. :whistle:

    JetBeam RRT-0 Raptor review

    I still use mine just about daily. :grin2: Normally I'll use a protected Rcr123, which works great. I keep the extension tube handy, though, so I can throw a AA in it in an emergency.

    Anyone prefer AA over 123

    +1 I really like 123 lights and with my rechargeable 123s, that's what I mostly use, but wouldn't EVER be without a AA light handy.

    JetBeam RRT-0 Raptor review

    Thanks. I'm actually neutral about the clip. At first I didn't like how it just clips onto the light, but as I thought about it I couldn't find another solution for a bezel-down clip. The body is solid with the switch retaining ring inside the tail instead of a removable tailcap. This...

    JetBeam RRT-0 Raptor review

    Yesterday I received a JetBeam RRT-0 Raptor, generously provided by Flavio of www.bugoutgearusa.com for a "real world" review. Now that I've had a day and a half to use it under a variety of conditions, here is what I've found: Background: I grew up in Los Angeles, and was living about 15...

    Las Vegas trip spoiled by pimpish behaviour.

    Sorry your trip was ruined. Unfortunately, that is the reality of Las Vegas. For years it was a seedy hang out for gambling and partying and the occasional good deal on a buffet. Circus Circus was about the only "family" game in town, and other than driving up and down the strip looking at...
