The Malkoff Front Porch

I'm patiently waiting for a cooler AA or CR123 model.

I'm really hoping we see some titanium heads and bodies in the near future
I am like 90% sure there was going to be an amber and deep red coming this year (they were leading the poll thing when I took it from the Kosen newsletter). I'm hoping the deep red is AA (since it's a low-light only use case, the lower levels of the AA would be great).

I think the amber would be awesome as an M61 drop-in, but I could live with an e-series variant.

I'm growing into the CR123 body, because the capacity on 16340's has gotten pretty good, AND I really don't want to have a 14500 MDC, in case I fudge things up and blow out my AA only heads. The AA body fits way better in my hand, but the CR123 body isn't too bad...and, I need an excuse to get the new body style, haha.

Edit: I 100% read "cooler AA" as "neater AA," and responded accordingly...only to realize you meant...something less warm, hahah.
 
I think you made a good choice. Resale value on these special runs seems to be pretty good.

And...SOLD OUT.

That was quick.
Oooh glad you snagged one. Maybe you got the last one. I was watching it every few hours to try and see when it sold out. Was still open this morning. Surprised it didn’t even get a post on Kōsen’s FB page. I don’t follow them anywhere else so maybe it was posted a few places outside of their mailing list and this thread.
 
And I see the "Usual Suspects", lol

Edit: Some good reminders in that thread already; I see this:
I feel seen. lol.

I am still all about the WLL versions in 2AA: 3x123 bodies- i do have spacers for 1 or 2 123s.

But the LLLL (and one more from the marketplace) are in yellow G2s for shtf.


Still love them . And still carrying an MD1.5/ oveready tailcap with 18500 and a 61T.

It’s been a minute since I’ve been on here lol. Unfortunately I’ve been spending the same money on other stuff! 🙂

I'm not surprised by that. I think a lot of the lower voltage Malkoff options have been lacking in the last few years.

I have also wondered where else he has folks. We do talk about it here, and maybe there are some FB groups or something (I don't really use social media), but I don't see them mentioned much anywhere...
