So, I just purchased a new Nitecore SRT 7, NC 2 place charging station and 2 Eagletac 3400Mah 18650 batteries today. I am some what of a flashlight junkie, SureFire is still my top pick, now tied with the NC SRT 7. Time will tell if the NC will hold up to what I need it to do.
I will give a short back ground so you will know that I am not just some internet ninja. I have served as patrol/SRT (local PD), Contract Security, Home Land security, currently enlisted in the US Army vacationing in AFG. I have been an avid shooter and weapon builder for several years. That should be enough to give you an idea of my background.
So, back to the topic, I have yet to get my gear, I bought it all from ebay, not many places will ship to APO, even places back home, so I had to do my best to get what I needed. I have a SF M600C Scout that I converted with a KM2 and a SF M952V for my current weapon lights here. (I need these for obvious reasons) I have been using a Inforce White 225 for a hand held, but it just won't do what I need it to do, reach out.
With research, I ended up with the NC SRT 7. The final straw that got me to go from SF to NC was a video from Patriot36 on you tube, I believe some of you just might know who he is. Patriot, if you are reading, Thank You for your time and efforts, it was all I needed. From what I have seen and read, it is most everything I have been looking for, even the price.
I have a few questions that maybe can be answered here.
1) Why does it not have a strike bezel like so many in it's class? It is marketed as a military/police purpose light. I know my custom built SF P9 is awesome, but run time at the out put it has now is something like 30 min's. continuous, but has a strike bezel with a Z68 tail cap.
2) Why does the end cap shroud/ring only go part way around? To me, if it went all the way around it would be more stable if needed to be stood up. (signaling, light a room and so on)
Those are the only questions I have so far. What issues/problems have you run in to so far. This way I know if it is normal, or something I will need to look in to when it all comes in.
Thank you for your time, stay safe.
