Best USA manufacturer

Surefire, Streamlight, Malkoff, Elzetta, HDS

Yes to the above.

I'd add Peak :shrug:

Or this: candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?416653-Lights-you-would-trust-your-life-to, and subtract Fenix, to be in sync with the the current topic title.

Malkoff For Life

Complete Respect to Malkoff (do not own one)

Oveready, without question, is the best manufacturer for quality and excellent design.

Best is oh-so subjective.

Quality? Well they're all quite good.

Best modularity:
Best bomb proof:
Best innovator:
Best at keeping up with current tech:
Best customer service:
Best pizaz:
Best selection:

I picked Elzetta because they send you a sticker with the hand written thank you note on a stack of Elzetta sticky notes.

Simply put I think they all ROCK!

Although this forum must be growing weary of me saying it, my answer is Malkoff. Elzetta would also be in the discussion.

If only malkoff solve their PWM problem and replace their switches ( don't like McClicky ) they would be perfect..

Like 'em all, but for me....HDS takes the top spot.

All of those, plus Oveready.

Prometheus lights deserve mention also.

McGizmos are supposed to be pretty nice.

I am stunned by the quality of HDS.

My vote goes to Elzetta. Best price/performance and aesthetic value. I mean the Bravo AVS line.

Yes add oveready and mcgizmo to the already mentioned, they are all better than the others at different things

Bottom line i guess you need a few or all of..................that way you can decide which is best for you Customer service is a major part as well............not too sure if surefire is up top there.

What's wrong with Surefire's customer service?

"Sharp intake of breath"........
Did you really mean to ask that?
If you did, this thread has about 12 hours to live.
Tick, tick, tick, tick..........

No bad experience myself , just read a few issues(all on here) over the last year or so. Same breath(you can breath again P) i still read good customer service as well.

For example, oveready and malkoff...............nothing but great customer service, not read a single negative over the years.

I dont have all brands named, but a good few and they are all worthy of being part of anyone's flashlight ammunition. Some may seem quite spendy, but its definitely a case of buy once cry once. Other than loosing it, its a life time investment and usually up-gradable(p60/ engine etc).

BOB......................you defo need a HDS in your life, it will become your EDC for..........ever!

Voted Surefire, would add McGizmo and Cool Fall at the top end. Have experience of both and very happy overall.
