So, who got one? I mean, who got the other 3? :sssh: I ordered the last one (what can I say, I'm a procrastinator) Monday night and it showed up this morning. SST-50 fed by a 2900 mAh 18650!!! I don't remember all the particulars, they took the page down when the last one sold, but I do remember the cautions about burning flesh and setting things on fire. :eek:





OK, here we go. The Recon was limited to 4 pieces. When I got the email, there were 3 left. I thought and thought about it and tried to tell myself I didn't NEED another light. Evil me won. I grabbed the last one. From what's left on the site, it has a custom M2 bezel with the SST-50 installed. It looks like the reflector is right up against the bezel with just the window and an o-ring.

Here it is with a C2 and an M2 for comparison.

Next is the business end, compared to the C2 with it's Malkoff drop-in.

The tail end on the C2 and the Recon. Yes, those are trit slots.

The Zero Resistance switch. This was the only way to get full power.

Hanging with a couple of other burners.

This is how I roll on Christmas Eve.

And finally shooting some light. It's a nice neutral tint.

This light seems to be a thrower. I gave it a little test last night and it lit up a house about 100 yards away and it's fence. The Tank just lit up the house.

I have a email in to Oveready about the specs and I'll fill them in when they get back to me.

I must say I was really impressed with their customer service. Fast shipping is always appreciated. :thumbsup:

This baby is a KEEPER!!!!



So, now just let me add................................:nana::nana::na na: and Merry Christmas.

I know I am late to the party Sal.... :D

But I finally scored one! :rock:

I was flat broke when they released these and one sat on BST for a few weeks, I finally had enough scratch to buy it. It is a thrower for sure, love the light. The M2-50 head is sweet, the whole setup is just boss. :D

Stop tempting me... I have the DW5600E :D

I thought about the GX56 but didn't really like the black/red one. But the GX-56-1B is nice :D

Yes, the B is definitely easier to read. :thumbsup:

Congratulations Brandon, you're a colorful guy. :eek: It sucks to be broke. :devil:
