Well this may come as a shock to many of you....most LEOs are not "gun guys" or "flashlightophiles". Most of them use either whats issued or they find something they like and use it. As they progress in their careers they learn by doing/making mistakes. I learned early on. I had always been a hunter so guns were a thing for me. I like shooting sports and I was well educated as an enthusiast. The first time I saw an coworker carrying a $150-$200 knife, I thought that was insane. I showed him the gas station Fakerco I had and said it was just fine. He took my knife, opened it and put the blade halfway into an open filing cabinet drawer. He slammed the drawer shut and broke the blade in half. He gave me his knife so that I could do the same. I tried. It scratched it, and the drawer had a "bite" in it. I was impressed. He gave me that knife and gave me the buy once, cry once speech. Mind you this was before the internets were what they are now. Case in point, my Streamlight SL20x is from 2004? I still use it and I finally found someone here that had a Malkoff Drop in so that I could update it. I still carry that light and the yougins laugh at me or call it my "Molly Whopper".Kinda sad that a LEO would use a cheap piece-o-crap as his weapon-light, on a quality AR. Just sayin'....
