More "first impression" comments.
9P size is just right, not too big, not too small. Actually pretty good for EDC.
The knurling is just right.
The tailcap is weird. I need a clickie. I don't get the instant-on. Twistie is OK if this was twistie/clickie combo but it's not.
Fit and finish and threads are beyond my expectations. The overall build quality is A+ and beyond any Fenix or whatever. I scored it for $60 off FeEbay. I have a hard time seeing why someone would pay more for an imitation. Plus the Malkoff module and I am somewhere north of $100.
The beam, I am not sure what to think. I suppose it's pretty good but it's not strong in the center like other lites, or like the other Malkoff (3D) I have. I guess it's pretty good one size fits all. I am not sure it's best for outdoors but pretty good for indoor and some outdoor stuff.
It's forgiven considering its size of slightly bigger than MiniMag.
3xCR123 rattle inside a bit. I will try wrapping them in something but I wonder if 2x17500 are a better fit.
I am also having doubts about getting a 2x18650 body for it. I mean it would be awesome but no longer EDC-able. (It is good for EDC as it is.) I might just do it however. But, sticking with the stock body means I could use primaries if I had to, no such choice with 18650 body, not to mention the smaller size.
I miss a low mode. I still intend to get a 2xAA lite with lower modes but this is great anyway. Seems very straightward interface, no strobe, no low, no SOS, just one mode. On or Off. I think this is the reason they call it SureFire.
It's output considering its size is awesome. I do need to get Li-Ion as going through primaries will get expensive real quick, even given the ones at discount online sources.
