    18350 pistol light?

    Didn't realize 1. RCRs had an issue with sitting around 2. that single cells had come so far. I used to write bail, so I appreciate having an absurdly bright pistol light. I'm not doing that anymore, so I don't need a 1500 lumen olight. The single cells at 500 lumens will be more than adequate...

    18350 pistol light?

    I just spent 20 minutes typing an answer, which got eaten when the forum logged me out. In short, I soaked it in acetone for a week trying to remove duracoat and a botched hydrodip. Split the case on all 4 sides, and the buttons fell off. I'm probably going with a tllr7 or the nightstick...

    18350 pistol light?

    So my Inforce exploded when soaked in acetone, and I need something to put under my G19. I'm in LOVE with the 18350, but can't seem to find anything in a pistol light. Is Google failing me, or does such an animal simply not exist?

    Smallest 2 cell light without an exposed tailswitch?

    Thanks guys. I was actually looking for a 2 cell 123a. Looks like single cells have come a long way since I last went light shopping. I think I can get away with one.

    Smallest 2 cell light without an exposed tailswitch?

    Switched over to a Nitecore P12 for EDC several months ago. Great light, at a great price. It's about half an inch longer than the frequently broken Klarus NT20 I'd been carrying, which is apparently just enough length to allow the new light to jump from my pants' pocket. Ability to use a...

    Cheap tailcap?

    I've got an old Pelican 6P sized light I upgraded to an LED a few years ago. The switch crapped out on me, and as the light is worth about ten bucks at this point, I'm not motivated to drop $38 on a SF replacement. Without delving into airsoft quality crap, what are my alternatives? Are Stinger...

    Klarus NT20 (2xCR123/RCR, XP-G R5) Review: RUNTIMES, BEAMSHOTS, PICS, and more!

    I just had my second one take a dump on me. The head goes from low to strobe mode and nothing else on new SF batteries. The customer service was great the first time. The second is pending. Good- Great customer service Bad- The fact that I know they have great customer service

    Are there still SF models with mega-hype surrounding them?

    That X300 is the only thing from them that has gotten me excited in a while. Anyone have any word on a release date?

    How many lumens is your edc?

    I EDC a Klarus NT 20 and use the brightest setting most of the time. I can't imagine carrying something with less than 200 lumens these days.

    Upgrade for M500A

    I guess I should have specified that it is bone stock. Is that allowed here?

    Upgrade for M500A

    My M500 has been sitting in the closet for a couple of years now, and I sorta miss it. As it's 6+ years old, I'm assuming there's better technology available for it. It's used almost exclusively indoors, so I want to go with an LED. I'm not hiking with it, and I have the nav lights, so...

    E2D Defender upgrade Help

    Did a little bit of research on this today. Looks like LED heads start at $75. LF appears to have an OEM equivalent for $13.

    E2D Defender upgrade Help

    My OEM bulb just took a dump. I was wondering the same.

    Xiphos NT vs Surefire X200A

    You gotta be shittin me! Why? Don't lights work with leather? [COLOR=blue]Good luck with that. I waited 2 months for a standard holster. I got the most uncomfortable holster I own, which appears to be identical in quality to a $25 Uncle Mike's I have in the closet. Great customer...
