I have a bunch of 'tactical' lights. Just got my new Maelstrom G5 in the mail today (probably my 10th 4Sevens purchase). I don't really like the G5, but that's another story.
Anyway, the clicky on the Maelstrom makes a lot of noise. Most of my other clickies seem about the same noise-wise. They simply make too much noise. If I was a LEO or military and I was searching a quiet, deserted building for a bad guy, well, a loud clicky would give away my position wouldn't it?
EDIT - Let's assume for this question, that the bad guy is around the corner and would NOT have seen the illumination of the light. In other words, the bad guy does not see any light, but he hears the click.
For stealth work the Surefire twisty sure seems best. But then again, I am no LEO, nor am I military. So someone please tell me what I'm missing.
Why is it acceptable to have a loud clicky in a 'tactical' light?
