Anyone have the EagleTac P10 series?

[machoamigo]

Has anyone received the EagleTac P10C or its counterparts for comparison or has anyone bought the flashlight and did a comparison to the Jetbeams or Nitecore Extreme.

I am thinking of getting one of these but do not know hoe good they are.

Some beamshots with comparison to the other flashlights would be helpful if anyone had these flashlights.

Thanks in advance.

I'd like to hear some first hand accounts. The one that runs on a 18500 looks very good, but it's hard to tell what's good, without hearing from independent people who have seen it in person.

There is a review of the P10C a while back on http://light-reviews.com/eagletac_p10c/ with some other other eagle tac lights. I like em, just waiting for when we can buy them?

This is my very first post here, even though I joined over a year ago, so here goes:

First let me say that I am by no means a flashlight expert, I just know what I like. The following is a word-for-word copy of my P10C review, as posted on Light-Reviews.com:

"Got my P10C on Saturday (very fast,

4 days after it shipped,

thanks Mev!), here are my first impressions:

1. Unbelieveable construction quality for the price point

(fit and finish, threads and o-rings, reflector and lens and SS bezel, etc.).

2. Identical UI as Fenix TK10, as well as scalloped tail w/foreward clicky

(both of which I like).

3. My brightest single 16340 light to date

(my previous was Olight T10 Q5 '08 w/T15 body modded to fit 17500s; don't have any JetBeams).

4. Will fit ANY 16340!

5. Wide range of run-times with different cells:

-a. UltraFire 1000mAh (lie

) blue unprotected: 12 min. on high

,dropped down to med. for another 6 min. 'til P10C's low voltage protection kicked in.
-b. Lighthound Chinese generic 750mAh protected: 22 min. on high 'til cell's protection tripped.
-c. UltraFire 880mAh blue unprotected: 26 min. on high, dropped down to med. for another 12 min. 'til P10C's low voltage protection kicked in.
-d. AW 750mAh protected: 29 min. on high 'til cell's protection tripped. (Mev ran this test in what is now my light; I don't own AW 16340s)
-e. MP 700mAh unprotected: 35 min. on high, dropped down to med. for another 2

min. 'til P10C's low voltage protection kicked in.
-f. TrustFire 880mAh gray protected: 42 min. (yes, 42 min.

) on high 'til cell's protection tripped; I've already ordered more!
Will post more run-times with different cells when I receive them; haven't tried primarys, as I don't really use them, but I'll waste one for the team!

6. Lousy design of clip attachment/removal

(due to scratching, as per Mev's review). I immediately removed it (as I don't use clips, only holsters) and touched-up the scratches with a Sharpie; hardly noticeable. The supplied holster will fit the light with clip installed, but is missing half the elastic on one side to accomplish this, and seems like the light could fall out. I'll EDC it this way anyway for a few days and post the results here later.

7. The green AR coating on the lens is beautiful, but imo does change the tint of the beam, but not for practical use. The tint is only noticeable when I compare it side by side with another light; VERY slightly green, nowhere NEAR as green as those HORRIBLE Rebels (

hope I didn't offend anyone!)

8. Beam characteristics are almost identical

to my NiteCore EX10 (which is still my favorite

EDC!), right down to the "halo" from the SS bezel, which doesn't bother me a bit (on either light).

Overall, it's an EXCELLENT light; I completely agree with FASTCAR's Makita (my favorite power tools!

) analogy!"

Yes, but it's copied above as well; I posted the link so you could read the entire discussion.
