Malkoff Picture Thread

In pocket today is the MD2/m61n hi/low with switchback and surefire z41.

Wow, your hands make that MD2 look as if I'm holding an MDC

 

[Megalamuffin]

Must be the angle cause my hands are just average sized

I find the switchback one of the best accessories when working with a flashlight in hand

 

[Megalamuffin]

Yeah the switchback is awesome.

I showed the switchback to a good friend of mine last week, and when I saw him again this week he had a new one on his old style 6p. He's a long time PD vet and said that 6p was one of his first belt lights. I told him about malkoff a while back and he's got an m61 in it too, and is happy to be using that 6p again.

I ordered a new head for the light above on Monday. Just arrived. Same lamp as before, 1.8A A3718 140Lm in a Tad Customs E Socket on Vapcell H10, but now with a Lumens Factory Smoothie head and QPQ bezel. The second one is a Surefire Elite BK head with a brass bezel (that desperately needs polished) and convex lens running 0.51A Surefire MN02 ~18Lm, also on Vapcell H10.

What's nice about your baby Z finger lanyard, users can custom fit orings to individual finger sizes.
@kerneldrop will need to get extra small for his... 🤏

You know what they say about small fingers and small hands, right?

Small rings. Small gloves.

That's a cool little Lego! Does the body (OR?) take 18500 cell?

I think those are 18350. If that is the Oveready E35 body

Tiny still needs a proper fit.
Harbor Freight O-Ring kit ordered.
Metric and SAE for an exacting fit of course

Yes, OR E35 body takes 18350 protected cells or flat tops.

My wife is a gardener and these are her favorite bedside lights. With M61 WL and hi/lo switch and the ability to tail stand, they give her everything she needs. Plus the flashlight itself as well as the light out put are both lovely!

And, I know that they are rare, just like she is.

The O-ring shown came with a Raven Concealment pocket clip. It's a #215 - 1/8" cross section, 1-5/16" OD, 1-1/16" ID.

I'm thinking a #123 might be better: 3/32" cross section, 1-3/8" OD.

For wearing winter gloves, a substantially larger O-ring would be needed, or use an adjustable wrist lanyard for flashlight retention;

 

[knucklegary]

Dangle capabilities while reloading is a good idea. A short adjustable lanyard might be more proficient for those handling speed loaders

 

[knucklegary]

Viton orings are harder rubber composition, not as flexible as buna-n, could be easier to work with especially when wearing gloves.

A good source Orings&More located in VA sells small quantities.
