Can't say I was ever a fan of Mac's, but damn if he didn't make some nice lights. My only interaction with him was after I picked up a second hand tri-edc that was missing the clip. I sent Mac a pm asking if I could buy just the clip and he wouldn't sell me one. I practically begged him for it and even offered to buy multiple lights, but he just wouldn't sell me a clip for some reason. I was so disappointed, especially since I could buy clips from Don without issue, that I sold the light and vowed not to buy any of Mac's lights again.
Flash forward a few years and I find myself more drawn to his lights than ever. I don't know what happened...it was like a light went on (literally!) and I just had to have a ti SST-50. It took me a year of searching and close calls before I finally got my hands on one. Then I picked up a rare P60 host and now I also have a tri-edc on the way (yes, this one has the original clip)!
I have felt nothing but sadness and frustration for fellow members who never got their lights. I'm still hoping he made good on most of them - it's pretty quiet around here now. I'm a little ashamed of myself for breaking my vow and for my lack of solidarity. And yet, here are two of the most gorgeous lights I've ever owned:
Anyway, just wanted to share...thanks for listening.
