    Fenix use on Glock

    No idea if the fenix will work but to say it's not "rugged" enough is a non issue. We used to use incan Surefires like everyone else until recently. No matter how tough the unit and mount the bulb unit is no way as reliable as the least reliable LED so ruggedness is never going to be an issue...

    EDC - What's in Your Pocket(s)??

    Well apart from the fact that the court link I provided agree with my bashed argument and of course there is always the meaning of bear arms. Suicide and accident aside we are left with stark fact if you lawfully carry a gun in California you are 2.4 times more likely to be murdered with one...

    EDC - What's in Your Pocket(s)??

    here for example Do you know what your 2nd amendment actually says? "A well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the People to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed" Are you a member of the militia? Do you know what bear arms means? From the Oxford...

    EDC - What's in Your Pocket(s)??

    I am not American I have no interest in 2nd Amendment rights which incidentally do not allow concealed weapon carrying as far as I understand the US courts have said? I have nothing against gun ownership at all. I am curious if the figures don't agree with you, will you stop carrying? I am in...

    EDC - What's in Your Pocket(s)??

    I try to avoid these debates but .. If you are robbed at gunpoint or carjacked how does carrying a gun help? Statistics show you are far more likely to be shot if you carry a gun. Home invasion is a different matter but that's not about EDC.

    Question for Fenix owners

    I have all the lights you are considering and most of the range. As well as a Novatac and a few Surefires. I EDC the P1DCE. It's a great trade of size and weight against utility. It is certainly not as strong as the Surefire or Novatac and I am sure their quality control is lower as well. I also...

    Fenix P2D Q5 Vs. Novatac 120P (Beamshots)

    For me it's not so much about weight it's the size coupled with the weight it is a fair bit bigger (60%) than the P1D as well as being twice the weight. Do you really put a Novatac in normal trousers or jeans? If you do, do you think the slightly better beam and UI are worth all the extra bulk...

    Fenix P2D Q5 Vs. Novatac 120P (Beamshots)

    I have a P1Dce Q5 and the Novatac. The interface and beam of the Novatac are perfect, the P1D may have a slightly higher output but not enough to make a difference for me. If weight and bulk was not an issue I'd EDC the Novatav. I wish the Novatac was lighter and smaller because it's too big for...

    lights I actually use...

    Keyring: Usually Draco Ti (off being modded with a Q5) for weekends away in the UK I add the extended tube. When travelling further afield it's an LOD Q2 for alkaline Pocket EDC if I have room P1D CE Q5 for a suit I use the Orb NS (To be replaced with Ti Q4 when they ship in September) My...

    What's your car flashlight?

    Like everyone whatever is on my keyring and in my pocket or bag usually a draco and a P1DCE Q5 but occasionally just the draco. The car keys each have a photon. In each car I have an L2DCE (They now have OP reflectosr and either Q2 or Q5 emmiter) in the centre console with an L1D tube if need...

    Wee New light with Q4 from Lummi

    I was tempted to ask about an upgrade for my Orb NS but I am getting even more tempted by a Ti. If I order one will now will it definitely have the Q4?

    Surefire Cree L1 owners with issues

    Not sure I would be happy to be anywhere where my life depended on a flashlight but after a lot of tests we have just switched away from Surefire to Streamlight for our weapon lights because of all the problems we have had with SF. No idea what our plans are for L2 and L4s Well they just lost...

    Fenix... That Good?

    Lenovo have made the Thinkpads for IBM years, now they own the brand I have no idea about a drop in quality they still are the one to own according to our lot who get a choice. Who makes a better one then. Forgetting the torch world what field do US manufacturers lead the world in in terms of...

    Fenix... That Good?

    I'm typing on an IBM thinkpad which "screams" quality and reliability as born out in surveys, tests and recommendations. It was, like all IBM thinkpads, made in China. So made in China does not have to be synonymous with poor quality but it often is because the customer puts more emphasis on...
