How close will the production KL5(Kx5) look like this?

NICE! I gotta get one of those. Looks like the front part of the bezel unscrews. Reflector mod anyone?

Yea, not quite sure what to think of the looks either. Also, at first glance it seems quite long, but trying to guesstimate the dimension, it looks as though it may be the same length as a traditional KL3/5. Maybe someone that handled one at SHOT can chime in?:grin2:

According to Surefire's website the old L5 is 6" and according to your picture the new L5 is 6.1". Maybe the picture is just at an odd angle.

If thats what the new L5 is going to look like, I think Surefire took a step backwards.
That thing is ugly!

In a perfect world they would have kept the same head design as the previous generation KL5 with the tapered base, but oh well. While I don't thinks its the butt fugliest design(a stretch, i know), it would probably look better on a Z2 series body... maybe. Bah, its all about the performance anywauy:rock:

It IS damn ugly. I don't think the head is so bad, it's the squarish looking body and the off center disc where the clip meets the body again. Bleh! Who approves these designs?
