    Harder to impress...

    Actually plenty of firearms people buy quality lights to go with good equipment and guns................but there are those that you get blank open mouth stares when you start talking about an EDC light in conjunction with a handgun. The same crowd thinks weapon mounted lasers are illumination...

    Another idea to extract more light out of the TIR optics equipped lights

    Apologies........... you said optics and my head went straight to rifle scopes.

    Sold/Expired OLD SURFIRE 6P PARTS.

    I don't want the pressure switch repaired I would like to set up the light in it's original hand held configuration. In any case you are probably right a call to Surefire may be in order.

    Another idea to extract more light out of the TIR optics equipped lights

    I am at the low end of tech savvy here but from a shooters perspective I have found that optics with lit reticles are much to bright on their higher settings.. They interfere with overall vision and obscure the target. Think driving in your car at night with the dome light turned on and dialed...

    Sold/Expired OLD SURFIRE 6P PARTS.

    Specifically a tail cap assembly or tail cap guts. Years ago a friend of mine who was a firearms instructor at Quantico gave me four old 6p lights with sort pressure switches set up for the MP5 sub gun. I sold two and gave one to a friend to pay forward a favor. I have one left...

    How do you EDC your light?

    I just stick my Streamlight ProTac 2L in my weak side pocket bezel to the rear so when I draw it the tail cap is at my thumb and the bezel is at my pinky. Over the years I have moved away from rings,lanyards and pocket clipping I have found they just snag on stuff,cause difficulty when drawing...

    Have i missed something re: weapon mounted lights ?

    Re: Have i missed something? First and foremost let me be very clear that I am NOT in any way trying to bring the discussion of weapons of any kind to this forum. I was only trying to make use of the vast technical knowledge that is here at CPF. Second I am already a member in good standing...

    Have i missed something re: weapon mounted lights ?

    First off great forum. There is literally a life times worth of knowledge and opportunity here. However I did not see any available sub discussion on weapon mounted lights. I realize this is not a firearms forum but I thought there would be discussion that focused on WPL's. Did I miss it or is...

    What did you use your flashlight for today?

    Used my Streamlight ProTac2L to peer into the dark corner of the storage shed at the range. Looking for setup equipment for the tactical shotgun match.

    Favorite EDC FIXED BLADE?

    I have a Shadowtech spear point with a modified sheath set for appendix carry. I would like to post a pic but it seems I don't have the option of posting pics from my computer.
