Yeah, terrible joke. It’s Monday. I tried.
Flashlight.
Not exactly a weapon but can temporarily blind somebody giving a significant advantage. The EDC thread about daily carry load out has gotten a bit of discussion about lights so rather than steal the show there I figured we could talk about lights here.
Maglite has really lost its throne as king. 20 years ago a 2 or 3 D mag light was the standard. I still have a couple but they aren’t at all comparable to modern LEDs.
Personally I don’t pay for a name. Stream light is no exception. I like their product but can’t see spending 4 times or more what I would for another similar light. I really like the Lincoln Outfitters lights from Rural King as a durable and dependable tool. I bought 2 today. Their pen light is great for me with early morning work purposes. If I need to read a part number or search for a part to deliver in the dark they have never failed me. I keep extra batteries in the truck too, but the light that I lost was over 2 months old and still on original batteries and wasn’t dim yet. Plenty to impair an attacker should that need arise.
Lets talk about what you carry and why you like it, or what you want to be better about it. Maybe other folks have found a solution to your problem.
