Hello. I have bought about 4 flashlights since finding this site about a month ago, and my most recent purchase was a HDS EDC Basic 42 XR. I really like this light, and was wandering how the Gladius would compare to the HDS Ultimate 60? I was strongly thinking I wanted a Gladius, but it seems that the HDS 60 would do almost everything that the Gladius does except for the strobe. Since it looks like the HDS EDC's are all going to be gone soon, I thought I should get the 60. My uses will be for law enforcement, walking the trail at night, and just wanting to have another quality light. I can read about the throws and outputs on both of these, but seeing them work in person and being able to compare them side by side is not an option for me. So if someone has both or can help me make a decision about which one I should get, I would appreciate any comments or suggestions. Thank you. --Tim
P.S. ( When I first found this website, I saw a lot of the comments people make about holding onto your wallet and flashlights getting to be an obsession, and thought it was just kind of funny. Now that I am getting more into this, I know that they are actually being serious! I am really glad that others have this NEED to have flashlights also and I don't feel like a freak for starting to acquire a collection! I sure know the wife wouldn't understand this hobby!)
