    Surefire 6PX Pro 9.11 Commemorative Limited Edition......Registry anyone?

    I'm glad you posted your picture Solscud007 because it answered a question that I've been wondering about concerning this light since I received mine recently. Just to the left of the "S" in Surefire it appears as though there is a circular indentation, almost as if there was a machining error...

    Please add me to the list! :thumbsup: I just received #0736 in the mail after purchasing it from tobrien. Cool light! Thanks for the smooth transaction tobrien.

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Sorry for the late reply. I've been traveling for several days and haven't been checking CPF. Thank you very much for the offer Chris... that's very considerate of you, but I'm going to pass. I'm not comfortable opening the bezel and besides, I've become rather fond of the light exactly the way...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Well, let's see. That's a tough one, but I'll give it a shot: Ahhhh!!! ... clunk, clunk, clunk ... ARH!!! ... clunk, clunk ... CLICK ... pause ... Oh my god, you're gonna kill me!

    Show your beat up light.

    Ahhh. I knew there was a thread about beat up lights somewhere. Now I've got something to add... My E1L that was accidentally dropped in a garbage disposal and survived...kind of. Click here for story!

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Not a whole lot. When it first happened I called to inquire about a repair and explained the circumstances. He said something like, "Wow, that says a lot about the strength of the flashlight." He also gave me an RMA # to return the head. That same day I also sent two different emails to...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    I agree. I'm keepin' it. It's a great conversation piece and it still serves its purpose perfectly as a general use household flashlight. The clip is a goner though. Actually, the clip itself is fine, but the area surrounding the clip slot on the body was deformed enough where it will no longer...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Yes sir, you're absolutely correct. Since my little episode, I decided to educate myself on the inner workings of a disposal via a few google searches. Quite interesting. Typically, there are no spinning blades that chop food or flashlights, just a couple of spinning "slingers/knuckles/teeth"...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Yeah, right. "Hey honey, do you mind grabbing one of my remaining lights (perhaps the Kroma would do) and check out the condition of the disposal blades?" On second thought, maybe I'll do the inspecting this time!

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    Yeah, I thought that was very ironic myself. The softest material on the entire light went unharmed. Go figure.

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    In looking at it closer, I don't think that the lens/window alone could be replaced because the entire bezel portion of the head is no longer a true circle. You couldn't tell from my original pics, but I've included this one below where you can see how the sides were slightly smashed flat...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    My wife and I got a chuckle out of the comments here. She does feel awful cause she knows how much I enjoy my collection, but she's forgiven. I just don't want to tell her that yet. Why not milk it for a little while longer. :sssh:

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    I called SF this morning to tell them what happened and inquire about a repair. As usual, they were very responsive and provided me with an RMA# and instructions to return the head. The more I think about it though, I'm not sure I want to send it in. Like you guys are saying, it's kinda cool...

    My SF E1L vs. garbage disposal!!

    My wife was insisting that our garbage disposal wasn't working properly and complaining that it was not adequately chopping up the lemon pieces she had put in. "Perhaps the blades are no longer sharp enough", she said. To investigate the matter, she grabbed my E1L out of the kitchen drawer and...

    E2DL-BK vs LX2 LumaMax... Which to buy?

    In my opinion, it's strictly a matter of which tailcap (UI) style you prefer. Personally, I'll take an E2DL clickie any day over the LX2 style twisty. On paper, the 200 lumen LX2 sounds impressive, but based on some comments here on CPF, the light is not noticeably brighter than the E2DL. It...
