Did Nightstick ever have a USA made light?
Oh no! Nightstick makes unreliable trash!
Oh, I hope you got a very rare decent flashlight from them.
They are favoured here by many professions as well. I own one and it works quite well. The only draw back is I needed to bend one of the contacts up a little because it would flicker if I bumped it. After that it has worked flawlessly for years.I've had zero issue with Night Stick lights. A favorite with elevator repairmen and crane operators around my way.
Seriously doubt it.Did Nightstick ever have a USA made light?
Literally all the ones I've had were worthless garbage. The last one, did a comparison review of it along side the Streamlight Polytac it was blatantly copied from, on my YouTube channel. The light was so horrendously unreliable that I told my viewers I was going to take it apart and toss it in the trash bin when I was done filming the review, and I did.They are favoured here by many professions as well.

We used to have a member who was part of the British police force. He mentioned one day how everyone was issued 2D-cell Maglites (incandescent models.) Fantastic back then for use at night. But being England with their collective diseased mentality on anything possibly being used by anyone as a weapon; the 2D Maglites came under fire by British politicians. Worried that police officers would start bashing suspects over the head with them.I'm going to defend the Ray-O-Vac and the Maglite 2C.
They are both pretty good lights. Sure we may have the higher expectations having grown up on Surefire 6P and the like but it meets the requirements of the FAA and they are still in use and being sold decades after production ended. I picked this up for pocket change and everything it it was made in USA and thanks to older cells being better made they didn't leak. The design is fairly sturdy and if something happens replacement cost was always low. The last USA made incan light from Eveready was like between $2-3 and Fulton is $20-30. Meanwhile Mag 2C seems to be the workhorse of the NYPD and British Police.
