    Sniping curiosity.

    The last option is closest, traditionally speaking. Many teach not to exhale fully, but enough to be comfortable and "neutral". That would be for a long range shot, requireing your best accuracy. "Adequate marksmanship" is a function os distance. For a 10' shot with my pistol, I...

    Re: POST APOCALYPTIC "EDC" Flashlight, which ONE would you choose ? I have a multitude of these. They cost $1 each and burn for several nights.

    Dead TV, what to do?

    My 2006 Sony Wega 42' Projection HD cooked it's bulb last year. It's been collecting dust since. I decided to look into a replacement bulb. I can pay $200 for a bonafide replacement bulb. OR I can pay $80ish for a knockoff bulb. OR I can junk the TV and get a new flat screen for...

    LE Duty Flashlight Options

    I would up buying a Fenix LD20 yesterday. It's small, but I liked the performance, durability, and AA battery power. I can't trust rechargables. The Streamlight Stinger I had would go dead mid-shift, leaving me with no charging option. There was a cig-accessory cable, but amongst the two...

    LE Duty Flashlight Options

    Sheesh, I'm getting more and more confused. I'm not a flashlight fanatic. Upgrades and battery packs are too advanced. Something that takes disposable batteries which I can toss and replace when needed is my preference. I'm realizing that the TK50 probably won't respond well to cheapo...

    LE Duty Flashlight Options

    I have a couple general questions about police duty type flashlights. Well, for the first time in about 4 years, I'm getting a "uniform allowance". Of course, I already have uniforms, so this will be equipment upgrade time. Also, in a month I go back to night shift after 1.5 years of...

    need help w/ ideas for Streamlight Stinger upgrade

    I have a Stinger. I don't hold it in high regard right now. It never impressed me, especially for the money I paid. I bought web gear for it. Nothing else is the same size. I bought a genuine $22 battery for it today. It doesn't work. Tomorrow the battery gets returned and the light gets...

    Pelican Vs. Mag - Article: Cops give LED flashlights a try

    LOL. I'm entertaining myself until I can figure out what to do with a few dying flashlights of my own. I didn't see how old it was.:oops:

    Newb police officer

    Responding by driving really really slowly, and with your red/blue overhead lights on, virtually eliminates the chance of any fights, or paperwork. You can increase those odds even more by playing a couple hands of video poker on your cellhone before exiting the patrol car. Zero vs. two is...

    Pelican Vs. Mag - Article: Cops give LED flashlights a try

    :shakehead If the "beating" was unjustified, then it's fault of the officer and not the light. If the need to utilize force escalates beyond hard hands, then it shouldn't matter what object the officer uses. FWIW, I consider the pelican lights to be superior, but they look a bit too...

    45 minutes with the cops and my flashlights

    Ditto. I've been bad though. The batteries in my 3D Maglite swelled and burst. I just finished mortal combat getting them out. Currently inoperable. The larger 3 cell Inova is strobing, which means it needs batteries. The incandescent Stinger has never impressed me, it's like the...

    What weapon light are you using on your AR15?

    Here's mine: I'm using a Surefire in a VLTOR mount with a Tangodown foregrip. I looped the extra wire up into the handguard, and wrapped it in aluminum foil outside the heat shield. I've fired a fe qualification courses with it and never had a problem. However, with enough sustained...

    Weak Streamlight Stinger

    I've got a basic Streamlight Stinger. I bought it 3 years ago, at the urging of an employee at an overpriced uniform store. I paid too much. Even from day one, it's performance was more indicative of $40 than the $120 I paid. It's beam has been very yellow for the past 1.5 years, and it's...

    Inferior Batteries

    Hello, I've lurked your forums for a while, mostly using them as reference material. I work a county job. My employer supplies me with batteries. I used to work mostly nights, and about a year ago started working days. I ignored my basic Maglite 3D cell LED for the past year (I usually get...
