    Arc-AAA Pre-order

    Kaboom!, one Arc-AAA Premium As promised, I took my 14" barreled, 44 magnum Thompson Contender, and one special cartridge: a low quality Arc-AAA Premium loaded with 15 gr. of Blue Dot in a Remington case, using a CCI standard large pistol primer. The Arc-AAA Premium was wrapped with duct tape...

    Arc-AAA Pre-order

    I received my rather expensively acquired Arc-AAA Premium today, and all I can say is: I'm far, far from impressed. 1) The LED is off center. Not a lot; about the same as my old style $15 CMG Infinity....which cost about 1/3 the $$$, of course. You can see a space on one side of the LED, and...

    Which HDS or Other Superlight?

    Quote: "If I understand correctly, if you get a U60 and set the 'Turbo' to 42 lumens, then you will get a significantly enhanced runtime over that of a B42, if that's important, and you still have the 60 lumen option should you be in a situation where every photon counts". That's not correct...

    Which HDS or Other Superlight?

    It's extremely easy to lock and unlock. To Lock: from off: 3 quick 'clicks' of the switch. You can then verify the switch lock is on by pressing the button after about 1 second. You get a quick double flash, to let you know the light is locked. Nice feature! To Unlock: 3 quick 'clicks' of the...

    be quiet tom cruise

    Tom Cruise is a good actor, but like many actors, has no foot hold in reality. I'm surprised he didn't just say that Scientotogy can cure all mental/emotional illmesses. Moron My best freind from high school got sucked into the Scientology cult more than 20 years ago. I can't even send him...

    HDS EDC switch question

    I don't consider mine 'hard' to press; put it does take a good push in the center of the switch,and of course you can feel the switch 'click' by tactile feedback. But I have no problem triple clicking my HDS. IMHO, the switch is as close to perfection as possible. I have small hands, which may...

    Which HDS or Other Superlight?

    I first bought a Basic 60GT, and with some encouragement from another CPF member, I decided to sell the Basic, and buy an Ultimate. I bought an Ultimate 42, but I did have a day to compare the two lights before I shipped the Basic 60 GT to it's new owner. Tint: The GT was only slightly better...

    What do you think about new NICHIA NSPW500CS leds

    They are a BIG improvement in output over the old standard Nichia white LED. However, they have a small blue center area, and a LOT of yellow-green corona. I've gotten really used to the blue-white color of standard Nichia's, and I like it. So side by side, I don't care for the tint. However...
