    Going gear rocks

    That's great to hear! I shopped there a fair amount back before Marshall passed away but haven't since then. I'm glad to hear the company is still going strong.

    Cloud Defense MCH

    I will probably get an MCH HC eventually. I've got a REIN and an OWL and both are staggering, simply in another league than anything else I've seen. My Malkoffs and Elzettas aren't going anywhere and I do have reservations about 18650s (to me they're hobby batteries where CR123a are serious)...

    best oscars ever!!!

    We've been at that point for a while! At least a pretty big portion of your typical action flick is already CGI. The Star Wars films have already replaced actors with animation and dead actors are still forced to work for Disney!:grin2: :ohgeez:

    best oscars ever!!!

    I can't believe anyone watches the Oscars program to begin with. To be clear I'm a movie buff and the Oscars are a big thing but it's completely unnecessary to watch them. JD Powers publishes awards for vehicles but even the biggest dork wouldn't want to get on a Zoom call to watch them type...

    Most carried light, only 1.

    Mine has changed due to circumstances. For a long time I'd have said my Malkoff MDC which was my main EDC light for several years. But just over a year ago I wrecked my shoulder at work and am still on work comp. Now I might go a month without wearing jeans or going anywhere except Costco or...

    Things that drove you nuts when you were younger,

    What's the old saying? With age comes wisdom, but sometimes age comes alone.;)

    Elzetta G-Line

    I'll probably try one eventually.

    Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

    There are a few applications where rechargeables are not ready for prime time. One is WMLs on guns with heavy recoil. I've seen quite a few 18650s get their tops smashed in from the recoil when mounted on a shotgun.

    I'm interested in the new Alpha and the high candella heads for the Bravo/Charlie bodies!

    Goof looking little light! I may have to try one.:twothumbs

    Elzetta G-Line

    I won't presume to tell anyone how to spend their money! That said, I'm not sure how the Z-line lights are diminished due to the existence of the G-line. Personally I have long considered the JETBeams to be about the best of the Chinese lights, so if Elzetta is going through and "tuning them...

    Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

    I have a ZLF set up with an M61N and a Ti clip for EDC. I don't carry it as much as I once did as I use a lego Malkoff MDC most of the time but occasionally I still swap it into the rotation.

    Elzetta AVS Upgrade (2021): Bravo and Charlie

    BTW, that's a more drastic mismatch of finishes that I'd expected!:huh: Normally I don't much care but that's kind of drastic. I would hate to buy new bodies since I already have one Charlie and two Bravos (one of them custom engraved) and an Alpha, also engraved. Still, if I set one up as a...

    Elzetta AVS Upgrade (2021): Bravo and Charlie

    Thanks! That was a pretty good clear pic but I couldn't quite make it out!
