Great price on Tiablo A9

[ROADSTIR]

I just received my new Tiablo A9 Limited Edition Q5 this afternoon.

After waiting until dark, I started playing around with it outside, but was disappointed with the output. Well, that is until I realized I hadn't clicked it twice. Very nice and very tight throw! Maybe a bit brighter than my P3D-CE Q5, but two very different lights, IMHO. The Fenix is much less obtrusive, and sports a few more bells and whistles. The flared head on the A9 will take some getting used to, but that's what makes it throw so well, I guess.

The threads felt a little gritty when disassembling. The engraving was clear and neat. It came with extra o-rings, a GITD tailcap button, a wrist strap, and four new Panasonic CR123A's. I especially appreciate the GITD o-ring around the lens. Nice touch.

However, it was supposed to include a belt pouch, but it was not in the package. I emailed Scope & Laser this afternoon, and hope they will make arrangements to provide one.

Now, if I can just get a DBS v2 for comparison...

Fwiw...I've read about 31 different posts/ads/descriptions for A9's, and I saw the one to which you linked as well. I believe the "Package Include; belt pouch" is a misprint.

Further -- and this was done under the belief that a sheath would NOT be included when I eventually ordered mine -- I asked around a fair bit to other owners for recommendations for a sheath. I received several replies, and not a single one said "Oh - the A9 comes with a sheath!"

So. While I'm here, I'll pass along what others were kind enough to share with me:

Ripoffs CO-188

Also, Tiablo makes one, but/and it has a micro-pouch on each side for a pair of spare CR123's. Imho, this makes the pouch awfully wide, but there you are. Up to you.

HTH.
