Hey all. Noob here, although I'm not new to gear-obsessing when it comes to lenses and firearms. So I know it's all one big rabbit hole.
I'm looking for a flashlight to keep in my car next to (but not attached to) my off-body pistol. Since it will be in the car, not in my pocket or on my belt, I don't mind it being large, not unlike the Streamlight monster I had many years ago. I would like it to be USB-rechargeable so it's always ready to go. So here's what I'm looking for:
Here's what I'm willing to sacrifice:
For context, I've been looking at a few candidates: Nitecore MH25GT, Jetbeam SF-R28, and now, after some searching here, a Convoy. The Nitecore and Jetbeam are smaller than I was planning, but they seem better built than the larger ones (like the Jetbeam BC40), which also don't seem to have a USB charge point.
What are your thoughts?
Thanks!

I would like it to be USB-rechargeable so it's always ready to go. So here's what I'm looking for:
- USB rechargeable (preferably micro USB in, as opposed to something proprietary, but I'm flexible)
- Reliable
- Size of an old-school duty flashlight
- Under $100 (the lower the better)
Here's what I'm willing to sacrifice:
- Waterproofness
- Suitability for weapon mounting
- Light weight
