    And to the left of the 16650 is a CR123? Not too big a difference actually.

    That's actually a 1AA MDC so a little longer than the 1CR123.

    I don't own a 1CR123 model anymore, but I'll see if I can dig up some old pics.

    The 1CR123 MDC is just too small for me. The combination of such a small body with no knurling doesn't give you the best grip, in my opinion. That's why I love the 16650 body. Still nice and sleek, but long enough to get a solid grip.

    No worries man. I may just pick up a body from Malkoff. Wish they still offered the deep carry clip though.

    I didn't like the deep carry clip at all actually. I originally had the deep carry clip versions, but sold them after he redesigned the clip. Not that it was a deal breaker, but I really like being able to tail stand my lights.

    Anyone know someone who repairs flashlights? I have a Maglite Magcharger with a Terralux head, that only stays on for a couple seconds.
    Maglite won't fix it, I checked.

    Just picked-up this little powerhouse of an EDC Light.

    Main selling points for me:
    • Rechargeable via Micro-USB (always have a cable in the truck to charge it up)
    • Runs off a single 18350 -or- expandable to use an 18650
    • Magnetic base
    • Clicky On-Off button
    • Dual-position clip (can clip it to the bill of my hat to use as a headlamp)
    • Small form factor
    • Multiple output modes and easy to select brightness/outputs: Very Low, Low, Med, High, Turbo
    • Very High Lumens/ANSI output: 2480 LED Lumens / 1830 ANSI Lumens

    I just picked up a couple of lights from PFlexPro. That guy does some great drop in work.

    The smaller of the 2 is going to replace my G2X for day to day stuff, and I got a larger 6P style light for SAR duty.

    I've been carrying the Olight M1T Raider for a few weeks now and I really love this light. It's just big enough without being too big. The tail switch is simple and works flawlessly and it throws a helluva beam. It's even replaced my Streamlight 1L, which I wasn't sure was possible.
