Smith & Wesson Magnum Force

Does anyone has this flashlight? Is it good or not? Want to know the spec of this light.

If it's the one I'm thinking of, it appears to be a clone of the Radio Shack MagLite-clone...or maybe done by the same maker, manufacturing them for different brand-name companies that do not produce flashlights themselves.

I have one they sent me. It seems to be the same as Gall's Halo light. If you do a search on it there is a review by KT.

I saw one on ebay for fifty bucks, and claim to have 80 lumen of light output.
Is it a good idea of getting one?

Questions about this light come up at irregular intervals. The reviews have been fairly negative; the 80 lumen claim is inflated, for one. The beam quality is not very good either. If you want a really nice 2 x 123 light, bite the bullet and get a SureFire E2, E2e, or 6P. Then I can guarantee you won't be dissapointed. The cost difference, if you shop around, or buy on from eBay, isn't all that much, compared to the *huge* increase in overall quality, and that mystical, perfect SureFire beam of light. Trust me on this. If you absolutely can't afford a SureFire, then you can buy a Streamlight Scorpion for *less* than $50, and it too is a far better light, IMHO.
