    Maglite LED now using Cree XP-E

    Thanks for the replies , I was able to find a 3D version Mag with the new Cree. It was in the same packaging as the other rebel equiped Mags. However there was one silver 3D with new packaging stating"new brighter led" and an orange sticker saying something about extreme throw distance of 380...

    Alkaline Battery Shoot Out

    It seems like with everything someone has to bite the bullet and do a lot of research to find the truth about something, but in the end it usually pays off in a big way. I probably speak for everyone here in the fact that it was great to be able to finally cross reference our own battery tests...

    Quick question

    Quick question

    Recently I used my scorpion to look around in the basement of an old house, and all of a sudden the light dimmed to about 25% of the power it was running at seconds before. Within a minute or so the light was completely dead. The strange part is that one cell was completely dead, the other...

    Flashlight for Defense?

    Hiking in bear county at night doest seem like a great idea to begin with. That being said, I agree that the OC style bear/predator deterrent with a cone or fog type of spray pattern would probably be the most effective and create the least amount of repercussions legality wise. For camp...

    New flashlight for you all and it is fairly cheap!

    I definitely want some more info on this light, I’m looking for a decent rechargeable. Ill probably end up getting something from Steramlight, just because I trust them and have had such good luck with my scorpion and twin-task. However if I can get one of these Lumapro/Brinkmann lights that...

    Some Mag Questions

    Thanks for the replies guys, I’m not too concerned with it being a regular Mag, I’d never expect a regular alkaline Mag to be “bright” I was just hoping to get a little more out of it than the bone stock pathetic performance we all love to hate. I think a high output rechargeable with both AC...

    Some Mag Questions

    Allright, everyone here is probably well aware of just how terrible the performance of a stock 3D Maglite really is. Now I’m a Streamlight and Surefire fan just as much as the rest of you on here, the scorpion being one of my favorite lights I’ve used on a regular basis. However I think its...

    Got my SUB-2000 yesterday

    I picked up my Kel-Tec SUB-2000 yesterday. I got it chambered in 9mm and set up to use Glock G17 and G19 magazines. It will also accept the Glock pre-ban high capacity magazines. First impressions are….this is a plastic gun. The receiver, fore-end, grip, front sight, rear sight, and butt-stock...

    Regarding Pila

    All right guys, that’s for all the help, I’d have no problems just using the Pila lamp assemblies, just was concerned about replacement parts. The lights themselves are still hard enough to find, let alone the replacement lamp assemblies. I’m gonna give WEI-USA a call sometime soon for pricing...

    Regarding Pila

    The G3 and GL3 using 3 X CR123A batteries, are 9 volt lights correct? Will any of the 9 volt sure fire lamp assemblies work in the G3 or GL3 ? same goes for the G2 and GL2 will any sure fire lamps work in the Pila lights as a replacement part.

    Regarding Pila

    Can someone tell me all of the compatibility between Pila Lights and Surefire Lights? I’m mostly looking for bulbs and reflector assemblies. I’ve heard that some surefire lamp/reflector assemblies are interchangeable with the Pila G3/GL3, can anyone tell me more about this. What about the G2/GL2...

    Regarding Pila

    So when do you guys think Pila lights will become more main stream? Im so tempted to buy a GL4 from Brigade Quartermasters, but what about the availability of replacement bulbs and service issues? The GL4 seems to be an awesome light as far as power goes, rated at 185 lumens, plus the addition...
