Favorite Malkoff "M" Drop-in?

In the spirit of these wonderful beauties now in production, I thought it'd be interesting to see which "M" is your favorite?

M60 for me all the way!

This was a hard one for me, with a toss up between the M60 and the M60L. But when it comes down to it, that's a massive amount of light that spews out of the M60 and it lights up any situation, no matter how dark it is.

The M60L is darn sweet, too, but when it comes down to it, the M60 is the king of the jungle.

M60L For mine... Great output and AWESOME runtime from 2 primaries... :twothumbs

I have the M60 and M60F. I really like both of these but I think I prefer the M60 just a fraction more. My M60 is slightly more floody (sp?) than another one I saw and so the hot spot moves very smoothly into the corona which is probably why I like that light.

Would be easier for me to tell you which is my favorite child...

Favorite would be the M30 with the M60 a close 2nd place.

So where can one buy this M30?

I have a M60 and a M60F. I like them both.

It's the M60 for me, I have mine installed in my SF D3 Defender. I use 2 17500 Li-on batteries, and between the brightness and the runtime it is my favorite light to walk my dog with.

H.D.T. = Happy Dark Trails

I just ordered M60...

Dang.....

I really cant vote on this....
All of Genes's products are top notch and fill the needs they are designed for to the fullest.

My vote is for the M60L.

Bright enough for almost anything without any battery power being wasted in producing excess heat, that way you can run it as long as you want at a stretch in the G series if need be.

Naturally though to each their own!

Call or email Gene. It's a special order - not something that is listed on his website.

Got tired of waiting for the P61L...just ordered an M60 and an M60F. Will probably have to try the "L" flavors sometime soon, though...

Ugh - just redeemed a $25 "gear bucks" card at Eastern Mountain Sports - had to spend $50 to get the $25 off so I decided to finally get a G2 incan and a 6 pack of batteries (exactly $50!!). Great deal!!!

So.... now I need another Malkoff :naughty:

I think I'm going to go for another M60L and use the G2 as a real "beater" - so far I can't conceive of leaving one of my SFs loose in a bag without a sheath...

I feel your pain, bullfrog! I just bought another host for, uh, another Malkoff.

Another M60 on the way as of today. Sheesh.

Well to properly answer this question one would have to try them all... but this weekend I hope to try at least 3 different ones.

I also wish the M30 was a regular item, it may soon be, but I don't have an ideal host for it right now anyway so I'll wait to see what Gene does with all his free time now that the M60 will be manufactured by someone else. I don't have one of those because I got the M60F first and when I look at the light I like, I always prefer some flood, but I wish I did have one just to confirm my preference. I'll see how I like the narrow beam on the M60L compared to the M60F and decide that way I hope.

Well I just ordered a M60. I don't believe this. My SF isn't even two weeks old and this site has me upgrading with no real need for it (235 lumens???). But when is it ever strictly about need right? :naughty:

Haha - enjoy it!

Pulling the trigger on another M60L for that G2 as soon as they are back in stock...

Has anyone noticed any difference at all (other than superficial) with the new production Malkoffs?
