Hi :wave:, this is my first post here and I've really enjoyed looking around this forum and learning what I can. The people here seem to be genuinely nice to newcomers.
So here is my situation, before this time I would have never considered getting a flashlight because I never really thought that I would have a need for one. But now, my family and I are living in a place called Santa Marta, Colombia. We live in a relatively nice part of town, but right outside our house are prostitutes, homeless, drug users, drunks....and so on. We don't own a car here so we are either taking public transportation or walking.
There are many unlit streets here and I've really started to become more concerned with protecting my young family. So I started thinking about a "defensive" flashlight like the Surefire E2d. I like the thought of this one because it seems to be small enough to fit in a pocket, yet has enough heft to it do some damage if the need arise. I like that it had the "scalloped" bezel on the front.
So here is my question. I don't really want to spend that kind of money on the Surefire e2d, so what are the lights that might be comprable to this light in size and having the "scalloped" bezel on the front? I really want something that will be comfortable in a pocket.
I've looked at the tk series from Fenix, but they look too big to fit in a pocket. Any thoughts on using a Eagletac PC0C2 MK II. Can you use the front of this one to protect yourself like the Surefire? Thanks for any thoughts that you might have that could help direct my purchase.
