I really kind of settled on the m91bw as my all around favorite light to carry. That one is almost always in my pocket no matter what. With that being said, if push comes to shove and I'm faced with an emergency or in a panic, I have a feeling I would grab my hound dog xpl.
Now, that's where the wildcat 18650 without the diffusers on the 21700 body comes into play. To me, that is a happy medium between my favorite malkoffs. It's an excellent area light that still throws pretty far and the hotspot it throws is huge. I've never felt that there's anything I can't do with that light. I have plenty of malkoffs that serve a specific purpose, but the wildcat is an all around powerhouse to light up a large area in one shot and because of that, it's the one that's always in my truck or in a jacket pocket when I have one. I like the wildcat for the same reason I like the m91bw over the m91t. I like that wide hotspot when I don't need the hound dogs distance.
