I've had mine for about five and a half months. It was initially sent to me as a test/evaluation loaner. I used it during multiple low-light training courses and lent it to some students as well. Several of my co-workers tried it as well. It was dropped a few times during dynamic scenario training (simulating a shooting during a traffic stop) and while carrying it I got in the habit of playing with the very protruding tail-cap switch boot. It eventually tore so I decided to simply abuse it until it broke. I dropped it from about four feet...about ten times. Then I started throwing it up in the air between ten and fifteen feet onto concrete. Then I switched to moonlight and did the same thing over again with the light on. I dropped it on the bezel, side, tail-cap, etc. and no problems other than dings and scrapes (and less than I thought for those). The light started doing the funky about a week after the drop testing. I was figuring it was dying a slow death because it wasn't switching on or off reliably, but then I found the switch was just loose in the threads. A quick replacement boot from my 4Sevens accessory pack and a few turns of the little dual-prong tool and the light was back in business. I've used the original FourSevens CR123s, a set of Surefire CR123s, and currently use a Tenergy 18650 with no problems at all.
I like the modes and UI of the light, and was so impressed with the durability I bought it. I'll be carrying it tomorrow as it is our first night-shoot for the current academy class.
As for the tint, I never noticed any green-ness until someone asked me to check. I looked, told them "a little", but then started to notice it a little more. It doesn't bother me at all, and I like the balance of throw and spill. The reflector isn't huge, but it's comparable to a Streamlight Stinger and with the SMO reflectore, it throws well.
My biggest complaint about the light is the mode selection. I like the bezel twist UI, but I wish it was a little more positive in the modes...Something like the rotating selector on the older Fenix TA30...You sort of have to twist until the light decides to switch modes, then some pressure can "flash" the light mode up or down. If they could put that TA30-esq selector ring on everything else about the Maelstrom it would be awesome! The light works fine, and I love moonlight, so it's not a big deal, but it could be improved.
