    Wow, why in the world do you carry a flashlight with you?

    Re: Another "Why do you carry a flashlight?" Moment I don't even dignify this type of question any longer. I was at the deepest part of a building a month ago in NYC. A couple of snotty cubicle dwellers snickered as I press-checked my Surefire P2ZX as I noticed the lights flickering. As I...

    Maglite....why?

    Over three decades ago, I carried a 2D or 3D in the car. Shortly after, the Marcharger. They were mostly what was available at that time that met my requirements for a sturdy flashlight. This was likely before many of you were born. Technology has improved vastly. There are many more...

    Why is the SureFire 6P so good?

    Simply because it works when I have needed it. I still have and occasionally use mine that I purchased 27 years ago.

    Would You still Buy an Arc AAA Today?

    Re: Arc-AAA GS - still a classic? Worth buying or should I be happy my E01? No. For me there are better options.

    Holster: Light Up or Down?

    Horizontal! The last time that I carried a flashlight in a holster, and on my belt, it was in a horizontal kydex model just forward of my 1911. As I drew the firearm at night with my right hand, I also drew the original Surefire 6P. This was a more natural movement for me. I no longer carry...

    Do you feel naked when

    Re: Things you will never, ever be without In no particular order: *loaded handgun *sharp knife *high-powered flashlight *ball-point pen *analog watch *cash in various denominations I've been carrying each of those for over 50 years. The handgun has varied in size and caliber depending on...

    Why do Americans put the date the wrong way around?

    Today is 20Dec2013. That is how it should be written so that the month and day are immediately identified. It's confusing if the month is only written numerically. I got grief throughout my schooling years; however, I never waffled from that practice. Even had points deducted from several term...

    1990-issue Surefire 6Z

    Currently with a R2 drop-in and RCR123s, this is my TAC light (23 years now). I'm considering upgrading to the a R5 or XML drop-in. The lens is still in good shape; however, the anodizing is showing wear. I am considering refurbishing it as well or just selling it and upgrading to the new...

    The value of a "tactical" light for civilian concealed-carry

    "But NEEDING one to be able to shoot in an urban or suburban environment (with lots of ambient light like street lights and business lights) is just not likely." Randy's background is urban tactics. Speak with someone in a rural environment and you will find a different opinion. Continue...

    What flashlight Manufactures are Known for

    Maglite is renown for its reluctance to adopt the latest technology in favor of extracting as much ROI from its current manufacturing methods and tooling as a way to augment its brand recognition; one that is as significant as "Jello" in the gelatin-based desserts market. Surefire was once...
