    The Malkoff Front Porch

    The Hound Dog is back in stock. I've been waiting. I just ordered a HD Neutral XP-L. Feeling like a kid at Christmas, haha! And it might even get here for Christmas. It's a splurge, but I've save a bunch by starting with the good stuff rather than buying cheaper stuff and working up to it.

    Margarita Mix

    I searched for the real-deal classic margarita recipe about 25 years ago, until I ran into a bar tender who knew his stuff and was willing to share. This is my drink, and I’ve not found anything better in all that time. 1 (2 oz) fat, juicy fresh lime squeezed, pulp included 1oz triple sec 3oz...

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Ha, yup. I can research stuff to death sometimes. I did find that list. I ordered the Xtar VP2. I think it will be all I need. Now that I have the basics I guess it's time to think about a project.

    Incoming - What do you have coming in the mail??

    Thanks! I don't need anything too complicated. I'd like to buy one that won't overcharge and displays the basic info. I have an Amazon gift card balance, so I'd like to order there. As with Malkoff, I'm more into quality than bells and whistles. If anyone cares to make a recommendation I'm all ears.

    Malkoff MD2 with tricap, crenelated bezel and M61N. Plus M61WL drop in for my old Surefire G2. First purchase of a quality LCD light. I've lurked and looked at a million possibilities. I wanted to cover the baseline with a reliable light that just feels like quality. Now I need a charger.

    BLF/TLF FW3A impressions

    I'm ready to order, but undecided whether to choose the 3D or Nichia. I wonder if this tradeoff is only about higher CRI vs. higher output, or if there is more to consider? People seem to be all about the HP-L Hi variants (re: FW3a), but for other lights I see people singing the praises of the...

    Looking for a few good lights

    I'm new to the forum, new to modern flashlight technology, and ready to acquire a few good lights. I want to make some choices with the larger strategy in mind. I recently discarded a bunch of mini-mags and other cheapos due to alkaline battery leakage, or just not being something I wanted to...
