    Recomend me a Weapon Light

    Here you go: https://omglumens.com/DEFT-edc.php The throw on this thing is phenominal! I tried it with the diffuser as well - it's then a little more mediocre!

    jetbeam RRT-1 R5 throw light or ?

    I've just received an RRT-1 R5 to use as a gun light & it does have a good throw - sufficiently good for my needs, but nothing exceptional in my opinion. The other light which was suggested to me was an Olight M3X, which I discounted as I thought it a little large to weapon mount, but it is...

    Recomend me a Weapon Light

    In the end I purchased a Jetbeam RRT-1 (R2). Although I've subsequently had a Deft EDC arrive today. Had a bit of a disaster with the RRT-1: was driving up to the farm where I shoot on Weds, got halfway there & realised that my light wasn't with me. Drove home & then discovered that not only...

    Olight M20 or M30?

    I put a smooth reflector on my M20, it does improve the throw at the sacrifice of some spill, but to be honest it doesn't make a huge difference in my opinion. I bought my M20 & M21 to use as weapon lights for hunting, rigged up with a remote switch. As a result they're typically only on for...

    Olight M20 or M30?

    Both the M20S & M20X do have a side switch which allows you to change modes. Unfortunately the original M20, M21 & M21X all require you to twist the bezel to change modes. I hardly find that the M30 "blows me away", in fact I'd say that when I got it I found it a little dissapointing - going...

    Which Malkoff Body?

    I did manage to find someone here in the UK selling the tail switches for Surefires MWL (for over £120) & it looks remarkably similar to the one I've got on my JetBeam RRT-1 - does anyone have any idea if they're compatible? Probably pie-in-the-sky, but if I don't ask I won't find out.

    Olight M20 or M30?

    I have both the M20 Warrior Premium & the M30 Triton. The M30 (MC-E) is notably brighter than the M20, with both more throw and much more spill. Personally I'm not a fan of "twisty head" UI's, so in this respect I prefer the M30 as the mode is changed via the side button, which also gives...

    Olight M20

    The M20 Warrior Premium was one of the first "proper" flashlights which I bought. Originally I bought it to use as a weapon light (on an AR), at which it excelled until I replaced it with an M21 (SST-50). My M20 now serves as my work light & regualrly gets knocked about in my toolbox, gets...

    Which Malkoff Body?

    I've searched for remotes for both the 6P & C2, but haven't been able to find anything....

    Olight M20-X, M21-X (XM-L)

    Re: Olight M20-X Spec Ops, M21-X (XM-L) I tried the tail cap from my M30 on my M21 today - momentary strobe from off with the side switch depressed works fine, but when you turn on using the forward clicky, all you get is a very low light flicker.

    Which Malkoff Body?

    Excellent, just what I wanted to hear. And as I understand it (please correct me if I'm wrong), Surefire remote tail- switches will fit the MD4 body?

    Which Malkoff Body?

    I'm looking to buy a Hound Dog XML, but can't figure from their website which body I'll want. Can any of the Malkoff Junkies tell me what the battery options for the MD2, MD3 & MD4 bodies are please? I'm an 18650 only kinda guy (not keen on 123's), so if any of the body options will take...

    Olight M20-X, M21-X (XM-L)

    Re: Olight M20-X Spec Ops, M21-X (XM-L) Does anyone know whether the end-caps / switches are interchangeable between the M20x (or M30) & M21X?
