Torches as self defense

Besides a D cell Maglite what other torches could be used as a self defense weapon in a pinch? Guess you could put
a Surefire in your sock and swirl it overhead.

You could use a Minimaglite as a fistpack... As for my own defense I've had a Glock GTL attached to a Glock 19 C before I never had to use it but I'm sure it would have been up to the task.

Elektrolumens Blaster III

Any light with a crenelated bezel would be good.  Surefire, Fenix, Lumapower to name a few.

I guess properly trained a person could so some damage with a strike bezel. I know I would end up getting myself into more trouble.
Strike bezels do look cool though

How do you like the SF e2d led defender? And how does compare it to the incandescent?

I really like the E2DL. It blows the incandescent away and you get a low level to boot.


E2D

E2DL
It is a little bit longer than the incandescent though.
