Re: ULTRASTINGER leaves CA, i\'ve lost my mind

And I'm right behind you. I already have a TL but couldn't pass on the great deal you gave me on yours. I also bought a poly stinger this week, ordered my A2, got a second G2Z, and bought 36 Surefire 123 batteries. A VERY expensive week for me. I'm going to have to stop this!

Who knows what great toys are going to be unveiled at SHOT...

I think we have an (expensive) answer to the "What Should I Get Next" thread.

For what it's worth (I suspect almost nothing), you can tell your wife that I and I'm sure many others (at least here) find your purchases well thought out and quite reasonable.

What I'd love to hear are the arguments tkl gave his wife in justifying the A2 purchase -- a too many Big Macs over a C-note, shorts on fire purchase if there ever was one!

well, i told the wife how convienent having a 2 in 1 light would be, not to mention the regulation over the life of the cells. i explained the tl vs. us issues.

she doesn't know about the arc or the knife.

2002 year model emerson commander. i'd rather have something with a little more qc, but i can't find anything that compares to blade size and has a clip that isn't low in the pocket carry.

Re: ULTRASTINGER leaves CA, i\'ve lost my mind

I don't want to make this too off topic, but I've got two older Commanders and a 2002 mini-com. Do you have one of the older ones? You're right about the QC, but they are nice to carry and feel good in the hand in both regular and reverse grip. The G-10 on mine has gotten smooth, but the handle shape makes it less of an issue. Are you looking at the hard chrome? Good luck with the

I like the hard chrome -- all of mine have it. I also wish I had gotten the green G-10 (to go with the OD G2Z).
