That may be my fault. Both magazines are edited by Roy and Suzi Huntington (husband and wife) and I sent en email to Suzi regarding an editorial she wrote on flashlights. I praised my Malkoffs and she replied that she wasn't familiar with them, but would check them out. The American Cop bit came out shortly thereafter. As you can read, they were as impressed by Gene's work as the rest of us are.

Congrats Gene! You deserve it! I imagine it may become harder to find the Malkoffs we crave now that he has national recognition...

Awesome great news! Been rocking his lights since the beginning, I'm happy for his success. Now I guess the wait times will be even longer. :)

Outstanding! It could not have happened to more deserving or nicer people, glad I got a few while the getting was (relatively) easy.

Yeah, I can really see the demand taking off now... good luck finding any Malkoffs anytime soon... No one cared about that silly Mateba auto-revolver until it was featured in some gun magazine, now the price has tripled...

Malkoff's recognition is well deserved to say the least. He has really set the standard for quality around here for quite some time now.

Thanks Guys. We really do appreciate the support! Things certainly have changed since I modded that first Maglite at the kitchen table about 6 years ago, or built my first flashlight out of PVC pipes with a Lux III and home made driver. I have been blessed!

Thanks, Gene

Not wanting to take away from the high regard for Gene, I think we're all aware by now that there is a dedicated cheers forum in the Marketplace. Please continue in one of the many existing cheers threads or if you wish start a new thread. - Norm
