    New Tir installed on OG RRT-01

    I like a good TIR. Jon is right…push down on top of rubber and turn lefty…comes right off.

    Weapon light discussion, (loosely) related topics welcome

    Canik is excellent. Competition pistol out of the box. A guy named Nills Jonnason is one of the best shooters on the planet and he wins national events with a stock polymer Canik. Funny thing with polymer vs steel is that when you put good shooters on a shot timer…there’s really just a .03...

    You can def run what you brung....one thing about the hobby/sport is that everyone is very nice and most will let you shoot their stuff. You may not get scored, but showing up is all it takes. I shoot USPSA and IDPA, plus unaffiliated matches like what the snubbie revolver matches...

    That’s perfect. I’m getting a snubbie just so I can compete. No one does great with them so it’s a lot of fun and laid back match.

    Butter and Bread and Sandwiches Oh My! (II)

    Generally pork and apples pair well. Maybe try apple sauce next time? Some apple juice is very little apple juice I prefer plain meats with ketchup

    HDS Systems #23

    It's still funny to me that you have to crank it up to 20/24 steps on a 200 lumen light to reach 40 lumens. It's a great light, just unique.

    What is the brightest 2AA flashlight?

    XHP70.3 is a 6v or 12v LED. Maybe I'll build one to test if my 6v drivers can hit 800 lumens with 2 1.2v eneloops. I haven't looked at the XHP70.3 data sheet, but my guess is it won't even power a 6v driver for a usable time, if at all. There's far better tools for the job.

    What is the brightest 2AA flashlight?

    We still cannot create energy in 2024. The formula Watts = Amps x Volts still holds true today. Boost drivers work by increasing the draw...they cannot create energy. Lumens is energy converted into light. Heat is energy not converted into light. LEDs are designed to produce x lumens based on...

    My link above is for a T4 in stock. Simon doesn’t have any right now

    What is the brightest 2AA flashlight?

    800 lumens off 3v of battery is just not happening. It may be advertised as 800 but it's probably closer to 400 But to answer your question: a 2x14500 with a FET driver and a 7070 foot print LED will be the brightest possible. I suppose technically a SBT90.2 which is a 9090 footprint would...

    Oh Elzetta!

    It's still a high-quality light. Jetbeam is a very reputable maker. If you want a $50 USA AA light then check out the Peak LEd El Capitan made from start to finish by one person in Arizona that does the machining and builds the driver.

    M91B vs. Bodyguard v2

    The E2S head is essentially the BGV2 without the step down.

    M91B vs. Bodyguard v2

    The new MDC XP-L multi mode head that gets to 800-900 lumens is where it's at. I'm just not a Bodyguard user...I'm a multi-mode soft-user. If I need a light like the Bodyguard then I take a 21700 pocketable light I built with a SBT90.2 single mode that puts out around 4,000 lumens.

    M91B vs. Bodyguard v2

    Completely different light. Read about the bodyguard again. After 8 seconds it drops down to 200 lumens. I’ve never understood the purpose of the bodyguard.
