I learned it by watching you.

Well after doing some lurking and reading on here for a while I finally joined last week and bought my first flashlight.
I ended up going with the Inova T1 and I'm pleased with my choice. It's a sweet little light. The design, fit, and finish, are beautiful.
I have already, yes already, started looking for my next light. I'm thinking about the SureFire 6P and add one of those new Cree drop ins. I'm looking for a light that I can also put on my AR. It's between the SureFire and a Pentagonlight. What are your thoughts on this?

Here are some pictures. I threw in a couple of other toys to make the pics a little more busy.

i like 45 autos, don't care what kind they are but i happen to carry a S&W. welcome to the club and WATCH your wallet. this can get expensive.

I recently also bought an Inova T1. I am very pleased with it's construction and performance. The feel of it is very solid. I will most likely get the new T1 with reflector when it comes out too.

Welcome to CPF.

I have an Inova T1 in my pocket as I type this. There are smaller, brighter lights. But, as you noted, the fit and finish are beautiful. Is is super rugged and the clickie tail switch is superb.

Looks like you will fit in quite well here, I really like your knife and I will definately say if you don't mind SF's price they make excellent lights that are damn near indestructable. I personnally fell in love with the U2 and own one, great light.

Welcome, You will like it here

Is that a RAT-3?

Welcome! If you want a light for your AR you should definitely look at Surefire. They are going to be releasing some Cree lights in the (hopefully) not too distant future so you may want to wait and see what they release that will suit your needs.

It's a Busse Straight Handled Badger Attack.

Thanks for all of the welcomes. This site has everything if your trying to learn about flashlights. I'm glad I found it.

Sweet knife, and a pretty good choice for a first light! Welcome to CPF!

silas and redledz, welcome to CPF and congratulations on your purchases of the Inova T1. It's a very good light that should not let you down.

Nice kit and quality photographs too.

High-quality pics, sweet gun, sweet knife, sweet flashlight! Your Innova T1 fits the HK perfectly. We're a little gun-shy here in So. Cal. so when we go night-hiking we have to rely on Surefires with Crenelated Strike Bezels for protection. Otherwise I'd be breaking the law. Sad...

For a superior tactical light, I'd recommend the Surefire line. You know that commercial: "Stop 'em, with a Schlage"? Well, I've used Surefires, Pelicans, and Streamlights for my night hikes. My conclusion is, "Nothin' STOPS a Surefire."

Tonight I found a continuation of my trail where I had thought it ended! All thanks to the secure feeling given by my Surefire M3-CB, I searched around carefully, and found it.

Welcome to CPF!

HOORAY!! for the .45 tactical!nice to see I'm not the only one who spent an arm and a leg on that thing.Now go get yourself a rail adapter and an X200B.

But other than that I second surefire for the tactical light field.Check out the
The E,and A series if your trying to keeps slim and good looking,and if not hit up all their other ones.

Don't you know SigSauer is the only gun for SD. No seriously Nice Heckler and welcome to the club.Flashlights are as expensive as firearms.

I like the Innova T1 also. Using it to drain those exhausted batteries from incan lights. Very well bulit, solid feel.

Busse knives ROCK..

Thats a thread protector that screws on and off. The end of the barrel is threaded to allow the attachment of a sound suppressor.

Thanks again for all of the compliments and welcomes. I've been visiting this site for a couple of weeks now and my head is spinning from all of the info. I may need to slow down a little. I have no idea what I want now.

Pentagons come standard with shock isolated bezels. I have been very happy with my x3 HA on my AR. Do yourself a favor though, and put it in a decent mount the first time around...so you dont end up spending the cash twice. I ended up with a Larue mount, and wish i would have done that from the start.
