While I share what has been said about HAIII, I think the GM finish is still very nice. It makes a light more civil, smooth and elegant, in addition to that the GM-lights don't tend to scratch up your pocket content as fast as the HA-finished lights do! Scratches on the GM-finish don't show up that fast since they blend in with the GM-color and the natural AL color from the flashlight itself. If I would give away a light to a lady, I would choose GM for example - nevertheless it's also a light for the guys. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Basically it runs down to taste. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif
