I do belong to CP forums too.
I love flashlights. I agree that the G2 SF is a good starter flashlight. My first SF was the original 6P!
I have given many a SF as gifts too. GREAT lights.
If you want small flashlights, I would sugest you look at Fenix lights. I DO LOVE my 2 Arc-P's though. And a Fenix is NOT taking the place of my Arc-P on my truck keys.
