Flashlight Enthusiast
Being a both a flashaholic and a gun enthusiast, I don't understand why gun magazines over look flashlight reviews. They review everything else in the shooting industry and then some so why not flashlights? I mean a good light is crucial when facing a night time self defense situation or when trying to get that pesky coon or possum. I know Guns magazine always does an article on a knife company and American Handgunner does a half page review on a knife so why no love for flashlights? The times that magazines do include lights, like Handguns, its a brief one or two page article on why its good to have a light and they may mention a stremlight pen light or a basic surefire and that's it. I think they should do at least a page review on lights that would be handy for the outdoors man, police officers, EDC, and the general night stand light to go with a person's chosen night stand gun. I'd like for fellow flashaholics that also subscribe to gun magazines to consider emailing or writing them and request a review section. Not only would it help out the light companies it would also give us more reviews to read. I just emailed Guns and Ammo and Guns so I'll see if I hear back, I'll be gone this week so it will be friday before I have internet again. I recommended they visit this forum to get ideas and learn the ropes on lights as well as suggested manufactures they could check with for review samples. Let's hear what you guys have to say on this, maybe with enough support we could get a review section in one of em.
