Re: What\'s The Best Looking Flashlight ??

One of the coolest looking lights I've seen is a black Surefire Z3 with a Turbohead.

There's an older article in American Handgunner by Andy Standford about weapon-mounted lights (which he had mounted on his Glock19) and there was a two-page spread of the gun, SF weaponlight, and the SF-Z3 turbohead (older style cone shaped) and it was just SWEET. This was in the early stages of my flashaholicism and it took me awhile to ID it. If I can find the pic somewhere, I'll see if I can post it.

Re: What\'s The Best Looking Flashlight ??

Update: Oddly enough, I went through my back issues and found the issue of American Handgunner with the original pic. It was a Glock 22, not a 19. And the light was a 12Z, not a Z3. Anyway, I've actually managed to get in touch with their staff to see if I can get a copy of the image to post. It's a great layout from Ichiro Nagata and I hope I can get a copy to show you guys.

Many thanks to Randy at American Handgunner magazine for providing this image! Next to the Glock22 is a 12Z with a turbohead.

Hmm...*looks at flashlight shelf*

Have to say that the Nuwai ALX-113AA is classy. Think the Surefire L2 has to win for me though, it's just "right" in my view.

I think the VIP with the BulkHead is a very purdy light. Even better looking than the original VIP.

Surefire A2. Also the M96 and M97 weaponlights look really cool with their fluted bodies. The original Inova X5 with the titanium finish is a work of art.

Re: What\'s The Best Looking Flashlight ??

I'll have to second that a2. Also really love my tw4 with the alph two stage, really nice looking. How about worst looking light. I'm in the middle of a franken light project consisting of a z57, alph 2x123, e series 123 extener, e2c adapter and a c bezel. None of my parts color match here. Not very easy on the eyes but when my p91 arives it'll sure look good in the dark.

I think the Orb is a very beautiful flashlight.

For a "badass" looking flashlight, the Positron Laser probably wins this one.

Comes in a SureFire Centurion C2 body with a 2.5" turbo head.

Man, that Positron Laser looks like something that Buck Rogers would have toted.

I really like the Longbow Micra, beautiful lines and easily carried.
