Surefire M3LT & Malkoff MD3 Wildcat (Size comparison pictures)

[DimeRazorback]

Hey guys!

A while ago, someone asked me to take some size comparison shots of my M3LT and MD3 Wildcat (when I had the M3LT that is). Having received the M3LT yesterday I thought I would take some shots!

I will say, that I love both of these lights a lot!

The Wildcat is one impressive flood monster, and the M3LT is one impressive throw monster!

Hope you all enjoy the pictures!

Great pics DRB! I like how you happened to include the Haiku in the background just to add insult to injury. (I'd love to own both the M3LT and MD3)

Thanks mate! :thumbsup:

:laughing:
What can I say?
It does go everywhere with me, so it's only natural to have it in the background of my pics :nana:

 

[ninemm]

Trade you my M4 for your M3LT.

:laughing:

If I didn't like it, I would say yes.

It's fun monopolizing threads. Weird to see sunlight in your picture. OZ is so backwards. It's way past dark here.

I need to get a cool signature created too.

 

[DimeRazorback]

It'll be dark here soon... but never soon enough! :devil:

Do I need both? Maybe...
Do I want both? CERTAINLY (after financially recovering)

I guess they would make a nice addition to the "big guns" aka hand cannon collection :devil:

 

[DimeRazorback]

You need both!

They are vastly different!

Now I will have to contemplate whether or not to get a Malkoff "Hound Dog" too.

Great pics thanks Dime!

Excellent pics.

But when I got to try out turboBB's M3LT, I found the head far too heavy to use the light with the grip-ring hold. My old 9Z works well with that grip. But that one is rather straight and light weight.

While waiting and anticipating the M3LT to hit the store here in Singapore, I took out my long unused M3T to play around with. Maybe I am too spoiled by all the smaller and more efficient LED lights around like the LX2 and AZ2, but I am finding the M3T too front heavy for comfortable cigar grip. Now the M3LT looks even more front heavy. I am starting to wonder would I still be interested in the M3LT... Maybe I would buy just because it is another Surefire.

I don't personally find it too front heavy, and I tend to use an overhand grip anyway.

In comparison to say a Z3 or Z2, then yes it is front heavy.

Nice to hear that. That big bezel and TIR optic sure looks intimidating and heavy. I will wait till the M3LT hit the store here and see what it is like.

Great pics, thanks! - but (you knew there was a but...two, actually)

1. No side by side comparison is complete without a picture of the dealer's invoice showing the difference in price (I'm actually serious)

2. We are all waiting on the edges of our chairs for darkness and some comparison beamshots!!! :candle:

 

[Meganoggin]

Great pictures, only problem is, you have convinced me that I need an M3LT :duh2:

 

[sledhead]

Great lights and photos! Great watch also! I just finished looking at the ORIS catalog.
I think a M3LT is on my list, but, I want to see one in person 1st.

Is their any doughnut hole at all?

You *******! you don't have only one, but both of my most desired flashlights! I hate you!:nana:

Really nice combo there. I just wanna know, how much brighter is Wildcat? Is the difference barely noticeable while doing "ceiling bounce" test, or there's a bigger gap in terms of brightness?

 

[PoliceScannerMan]

That M3LT has got to be the bigeest 3 x 123 light EVER!!! :green:

How good is the throw, compared to the LX2?
