Nope. 

It is the only item that I have bought and have EDC'd every day since.   It really is a great light.

[Tarrodemierda]

well if u say so i believe ya.

At least to me, it's pretty impractical and kinda dim by today's standards.

[Tarrodemierda]

well i dig it no matter what u say .i dont need any sunbright onwe,but i appreaciate the fact it seems sturdy and it can be held on harness,there aint many like that.

It's easy to modify with an IMS reflector.  That would make it much more useful in my opinion.

[Tarrodemierda]

i dont doubt a bit but here where iam,im sure they dont have stuff like that for mods.

[Rodion]

I'm much more of a n00b than you are, but will pitch in anyway. Just because. 

No fancy EDC light can replace a 36D Maglite. It's like replacing your crowbar with a Gerber Artifact. Sure, it's got more features, but can you use it to bash people's skulls in?


Regular crowbar, with an Artifact to scale.

[Tarrodemierda]

my biggest mag is only 6d .

and i aint got even some cool tactical crowbar YET,but as the time goes......

[gafftapegreenia]

A 36D Mag? Where???

[Rodion]

It's a poetic exaggeration, satirizing the disproportional caliber of Maglites in an affectionate way.

Can we move on?
