At the moment I carry an AA Maglite because it's tough, cheap, socially acceptable and makes a good kubaton. However, I would like something a bit more, you know...
Something with some of those little teeth that Surefires tend to have these days. Also, something brighter. I'm assuming Surefire is my best bet here.
The thing that immediately comes to mind is the E2D but I think it's just too blatantly a weapon and thus not legal on the streets of Britain. So what else is there?
I've been looking at the C2 Centurion, E2 E2E, E2L, E1E, E1L.
The Centurion is advertised as a self defence tool and it also has this ring thing towards the tail of the torch which I assume helps to keep a firm grip. However, it's a bit big around, I want something about the same thickness as my AA Maglite, or thinner. Length in't a big deal, but I want a nice slim light if possible.
The E2 series look nice but I dunno which one to go for.
E1 is shorter than the E2. I'm not sure how much easier that makes it to carry to be honest. Shorter battery life and I assume it would be less easily used as a weapon.
SO, what do you think?
Also, a good book on defensive kubaton use (or even torch use, if such a book exists) would be nice. I'd love to go to classes but I fear any UK martial arts classes will be waaay too PC to actually teach me any practical kubaton techniques with a torch.
