So I'm doing some holiday shopping, and am thinking of picking up a few of these for family:

Supposed to be one of the longest-throwing 2xAA lights on the market. Cool <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thumbup.gif" alt="" />

Yeah, torches are great gifts! I'm doin' the same. I'll have to check that one out

Also thinking about the Javelin for myself, and some cheaper lights for gifts <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

I feel like the throwing power of the Javelin would be wasted on folks who are still carrying AA Maglites.

My brother and I teamed up on a SureFire 6pd with a deree light LED drop in for my other brothers BDay. The sucker is bright.

I've got a couple of pretty bright lights, but the Javelin head has a pretty deep reflector, and with a $5 replacement smooth reflector, you can pull 10k lux. That's some SERIOUS throw out of a 2xAA light. Even better, it's compatible with some other flashlight bodies, so there's a single CR123A version that has the same output in a pocket-sized form. It should be able to throw several hundred yards.


I think I just talked myself into getting the CR123A version. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/doh.gif" alt="" />

Pocket spot lights I tell you!

LOL...

Ahh, I have the next two days off, then work wednesday, then off Thanksgiving... NICE!

Just sold my M9LE... will be very sad to see that one go. Will be slightly less sad when its replacement, the bushwacker mistress, shows up.

gotta let andy know about the bots registering on the bussekin trade site...
so irritating.

what color combo you going with on the mistress?

also, did you get a reply from renee about recoating?

The recoating is a no-go, I'll have to send it back in some day down the line if I want bama clay. I ended up going with muddy and tan canvas micarta.
