@ sbebenelli
Is your Saint Minimus the last version?

I think it is. I haven't kept up with the evaluation of the Saint Minimus though so I don't know for sure.

Yes. The 1st minimus had the new fluted design, ala LX2. This was very unpopular so they went with the tried and true knurling.

They looks like brother!
6P-GMG and E2e-SG
The colour is very match

I love the Z3, now you just need to get a KT2. And the E2E, did the tailcap and bezel come mismatched from the factory like that?

Ah, my beloved Z3. A turbohead would be sweet, but with all the D26 drop-ins today, there doesn't seem to be any appreciable performance gain from going to a turbohead and running a tower module. An SRTH would be HOT BUTTERY goodness!!! If only I could score one without refinancing my house. I'd probably want a Malkoff M91 before I went turbo, but the Lumens Factory module I have in there is insanely bright as it is.

RE: E2e. Yup! Sealed in the package that way! The body was almost black and the tailcap and bezel were pretty light.

Looking at all the pictures in this wonderful thread makes me wonder. How much of a light actually has to be surefire parts to make it a surefire? I mean, the title of this thread is "Post your surefire collection" yet I see an overwelming amount of lights pictured that are not surefire's, almost the entire light is something else but may contain a surefire bezel or perhaps a surefire tailcap, yet it is still posted in this thread. Example, a solarforce body and tailcap with a surefire bezel does not really belong in this thread in my opinion, yet we see alot of that.

I'm sure we've said before in this thread that we'd prefer to keep it SureFire only. There's plenty of other opportunities to show off aftermarket variations after all.

The infamous MAGNUMTLIGHT!

One is now mine!

Brand new!

Beautiful light DimeRazorback! Looks like the anodizing matches perfectly.

Thanks mate!

I now have four smooth bezel M6's (and one current gen as well )



So excited about this one though! Been wanting a MAGNUMTLIGHT since I found out about them!

Come on DRB, watcha need 5 M6's for? Hell, I'm trying to score just one in the WTT over on the marketplace.

It is a feast for my eyes.

[LightJunk]

Here's my latest E1es'.

[^^Nova^^]

Nice E1e collection. I am really getting into these as well recently. Great little lights (especially with 18350 cells ).

What tailcap are the two in the middle, I am assuming they are the older twisties?

Cheers,
Nova

Hi Nova,

Yup they were the old twisties but I've upgraded them to McClickies. Pretty straight forward.

Here's the DIY upgrade I did.

Thanks for listing them out Size15's.

Nice little lights.

[Monocrom]

Those old Z52 tailcaps are like little jewels.

I ended up with a Z52 and a Z53 by accident on two deals with other CPFers.

[^^Nova^^]

Cool. I had heard that the McClicky was a straight screw in replacement for E-series tailcaps. Now it seems I need to look for some older twisties to upgrade to McClicky switches. I assume the newer SF clickies (Z57/Z61) are different internally and not a straight swap?

Really confused here. Do you mean you want to take those ever-growing-rarer-by-the-day old E-series Z52 or Z53 tailcaps and "upgrade" them to McClicky switches? That's like finding a vintage Rolex from World War One, and then "upgrading" it with a digital display.

That's a horrifying thought. Don't get me wrong, I own a McClicky tailcap switch. It sits on one of my E2E models. Works well. But with those old E-series Z52 and Z53 tailcaps you have something that is ideal for modding an E-series light into a true pocket-rocket. My Z53 is on a Milky Room sweeper that is pumping out 800 lumens on a freshly charged 17670 cell. I would not want a clicky tailcap of any kind on a light that powerful. I'd much prefer something absolutely bomb-proof. (Such as a momentary tailcap switch.) SureFire doesn't make those anymore for their E-series lights.

It's like tracking down a 1969 Chevy Camaro that is absolutely mint! And then swapping out the engine for a little 4-cylinder one in order to get great fuel economy.

So wrong on so many levels.

I had similar thoughts when I read they were modified, so I quickly closed the thread

[lapd.erik]

I need to stop giving away my surefires to family and friends and start collecting them instead!!!

[Monocrom]

LOL

At least someone understands the Rolex reference.

[LightJunk]

Well, I do keep the old twisties innards in case I want to swap it back. I know they are rare but just want to have a little fun swapping to McClickies.

They are my collector's items thus will not get any use.

Interesting E2e, any specs? hotspot size?

My Surefire L6 Porcupine.

Sorry for the late reply. Just saw your question.

No hotspot at all. As for specs. and all the rest of the good stuff, check out the link below:

Mine is an older E2E. Satin Gunmetal with tear-drop bezel. Hogo's is more pragmatic in looks.
