Or, find a M31LL and you will get that same 65 lumens using two Alkaline AA's for 7 hours. Mine does that when I use a 3 cell SF and spacer.

Well I got my 6P Incan up and running with a M61WL (Thanks Dennis)! Awesome start to what will be several more goodies from Gene. Since I will have several new 6ps, I will put the original P60 drop ins in the packaging from Gene for his units and store them safely. Same with the batteries as I will use 16650s in the lights I am running. I would have bought a bunch of cr123s anyway so this will save me some money and bring the cost of the hosts down. BOY...THIS IS FUN ALREADY!!!!:D

I'm really glad you like it! It wasn't long ago that I installed my first drop-in... Very addicting and a lot of fun, too!

I received a stock 6P recently with a P60 in it. Popped in some CR123 cells and I am still impressed with the amount and quality of light this flashlight produces. It's definitely been a Surefire mainstay for many years and will likely remain so for some time to come. I'm sure at some point I'll pop a drop-in in it, but it's nice to have an incan light to fall back on from time to time for nostalgic reasons.

I really liked the incan vibe as well and the Malkoff WL 61 brings the same type of tint. I will keep a couple P60s around for that nostalgic vibe too. Now I have my eyes on a MD2 :eek:!

Pay the extra $20 and get a hi/lo. You'll find the low very useful.

I started out with a WLL for my first 6P. It is close to the P60 with a ton more runtime. Naturally a WL wasn't far behind... the an NL... hoh-boy I waz dun man!
That lead to a couple of MD2's also, yet the Malkoff'd 6P is certainly a goody.
A stock 6P sits on my desk and it's still a thrill to use it.

I still have the three P60s I swapped out for my LED drop ins. I figure if nothing else they will come in handy when that dreaded EMP pulse takes out all the drivers and other electronics we use in our lights.:D

6P's are awesome. Can't go wrong. I've got enough and there's enough P60 LED support for them for years to come, so that I don't have to buy any of the new surefire catalogue...which is good for me, because in the last few years I haven't been impressed.
Good choice.

Okay.....maybe an Elzetta Bravo with crenelated bezel and high/low tailcap too!:sssh:

Which of the 2 between an MD2 and Elzetta Bravo? Both running M61WL with a high/low option.

Wait till she finds out your a member of a flashlight forum:poke:

I would say your perfectly normal, if i was to be picky, i would ask why the MD2 is on your list ,when it could have been bought and just settle for 14 or 15 x 6p's:nana:
