Malkoff MDC - The “Poor Man's Haiku” - Another Ideal EDC

[twl]

There are many who thank their lucky stars every day for that "lack" of mode memory.


Many of these features are personal preference issues. Some love the deep pocket clip, and some think it somehow prevents tailstanding(which it does NOT prevent, you just have to stand it on the edge of a book or table). Some love mode memory, and some hate mode memory with a passion. Some hate cool, and want HCRI. Etc. It never ends. You can't please everybody every time.

I agree wholeheartedly. I like the modes of the MDC. I really do not care for mode memory. Either get a one mode light or train with the light/drop in that your using and know it well.

The VME head fits perfectly fine on either the MDC AA or CR123 hosts.

Does the VME head make it a single mode light? Or is all the good stuff in the switch?

It will depend what dropin you put in. The VME is just an empty head. Most of Malkoff's dropins are single mode but he has a 3 mode also. Or if you get one from someone else it may have multiple modes.

OK, so a VME head, single mode drop in and an MDC body equals a single mode light? Thanks!

That is correct. My only current MDC body has a VME head and M31 219B.

Thanks!

Same here as Grizzman. I have the VME with the AA tube and a M31 219B drop in. Excellent setup!

I don't have an MDC flashlights, but I have bought quite a few drop-ins for my Elzetta flashlights.

I will second what others have said.... I would love an MDC, if the tint was warmer and could take 16340's

I use my 4000K L-M-H MDC head on an E2E from two CR123s. It runs well from a single Li-Ion.

Thanks to the OP for a great write up! I wish the orange color was still available. I recently got a Malkoff head for my Surefire E1b, and to be honest I'm floored by it! Even though I have several of his drop ins I wasn't prepared for awesome this would be. Now I am definitely gonna have to get an MDC, too.
