    Individual Charger for AAA Batteries?

    I use three main chargers for my various NiMH AA and AAA batteries. The first is a Duracell CEF23 which has been awesome since I purchased it several years ago. Having been included with various sets of eneloop batteries purchased from Costco, I also have a Panasonic BQ-CC17 and BQ-CC55. All...

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    That really kinda pisses me off. I can understand a dealer having to wait for a shipment from the manufacturer, but this isn't a damn iphone... If they're going to take orders, they should have inventory and a production schedule to meet demand. I ordered my EDCL1-T on the day of release, as...

    Surefire EDCL1-T

    I've been waiting for the release of this light and I'm excited to get it. I checked my email waiting for the Monday release to see if it would be today and then realized I left my Surefire coupon code at home. So I ordered it tonight. I'll also probably end up with the EDCL2-T and an...

    Reliable daylight visible laser pointer

    LOL! Thank you for the answer... I get it now. I wondered why when I searched I never saw any specific models recommended. Even a buddy who has one said to just search "burning green laser" on Amazon. Since I have no real plans to "burn" anything I figured there might be a unit that was more...

    Reliable daylight visible laser pointer

    NoNotAgain, i greatly apologize for my perceived lack of interest... I will, however, submit that my primary question, that of recommended brands/models was completely ignored, as was the case in threads I searched prior to posting. Hence my question. I clearly stated my needs and being quite...

    Suggestions/thoughts for a pistol/shotgun light?

    I think you'll be happy with the TLR-1. I have several Surefire X300/X300U WMLs as well as a TLR-2 and TLR-2G. I like the Streamlight lights and they are a great value for the money. I like the toggle function of the Surefires better for tactical use, and the remote switches for either when...

    Are There Single, non rechargeable C Or D Cell Led Lights?

    CountyComm lists one that I'd like to try, but I have zero experience. Here's a link: http://countycomm.com/strobetll.html If anyone has information on this light I'd appreciate it as well.

    Photon Proton Pro: Under appreciated?

    I still have mine and really like it, but my Uncle, who also gifted me the Proton Pro for Christmas several years ago, gave me a Nitecore MT10A this year for Christmas, and it's definitely an improvement on the same idea. If Proton is making an improved tail switch version, hopefully they've...

    Surefire EB1 now 300 lumens...

    I just picked up one of the $80 EB1's... Hoping to put a Malkoff front end on it for a one-mode shielded clicky, but if that doesn't work it's still too good a deal to pass up!

    Reliable daylight visible laser pointer

    This is kinda a low tech question, but here goes... I need a green laser pointer that will clearly show on a black or white paper background during bright daylight at a distance of approximately 15 yards (50 feet). 25 yards would be great, but not absolutely necessary. I'd like to stay under...

    Streamlight Polytac 275 Lumen LED Flashlights

    I have a slightly older Polytac HP and the new Polytac 275 lumen with the 10-tap programming. I don't use the HP much because it is such a narrow beam, but it does throw really well. For general stuff I'd strongly recommend the Polytac 275 lumen. I got mine this past spring and mounted it...

    Elzetta- The industry's best kept secret.

    I ordered the three cell model with rotary and flood. This should be a great intro as I'm exclusively interested in the light for tactical purposes. I almost ordered a tape switch model... But I'll have fun with this one first! Thanks for the heads-up!

    Thoughts on Streamlight products?

    Re: Thoughts On Streamlight Products? I've abused the crap out of several Streamlight flashlights and weaponlights, including a Polytac that's been attached to my Benelli M2 12ga shotgun for several months and several hundred rounds. I'm going from memory, but I currently own the following...

    Shotgun mounted light

    Another update... In mid-September I attended a shotgun course put on at our facility where we shot probably 50 slugs, 100-200 buck, and 100-200 AA shot shells. I drove the Benelli, and the light HARD. During barricade shooting (with slugs) I bent the clip in half (I pulled it off the light)...

    Any Tactical Users Here?

    Right now I have a Streamlight TLR2-G on my AR, a Surefire X300 Ultra on my Saiga .223, and a Streamlight Polytac LED (the new 275 lumen model) on my Benelli. I wouldn't hesitate to throw my Eagletac T20C2 or FourSevens Maelstrom on any of them, and in fact I tried on the Benelli but they...
