i upgraded from the maglite to a surefire g2x w/ thyrm loop/clip, fits in the center console tray and w/ the loop you can boop something/someone just as good.

 

Any recommendations on where to mount in 3rd gen utility? Looking to gorilla tape the Maglite clamps in the cab for easy quick access

 

better question: who still uses maglites?

 

Just would prefer one for my location idea.. made in USA and mutiple uses

 

I mounted mine with the screws that came with the holder..
It's been there for years.
Its a good weapon!!
I have a little LEd flashlight that i actually use when needed.

 

Dude. Buy a flashlight and keep it in the glove box. Why drill into the side of the seat bottom?

 

I keep a large "I's gonna beat yooor hippy ass" Maglite because it can make a good weapon if needed, but it is near the jack under the back seat. I upgraded the wimpy halogen bulb to an LED bulb. (pictures below comparing output).

My GPS watch has a small LED flashlight in it (Garmin Instinct Solar 2X). Not the strongest but always on my wrist if needed. My next flashlight will likely be a Streamlight Wedge XT ... EDC-sized and 500 lumen (supposedly casts light to 200 ft.

 

If we’re gonna talk flashlights, I keep a sofirn SP36, rovyvon A4, and pelican 3310PL in my truck. Overkill for sure, but it’s fun

 

The correct number of flashlights is (n + 1).

 

Haha yup, just remembered my headlamp too

 

My strap-headlamp is in the truck because I use it for hiking and many items (shoes, backpack, extra clothes) are in the truck as well ... Black Diamond Storm that has the nice "hold to adjust".

The sofirn is 8000 lumens max, the rovyvon is small and has tritium pellets to find it (no max specifiied, but is keychain), pelican is max 370 lumens but glows in the dark. Expensive trio of flashlights ...

 

dont they belong in museums ?

 

"I's gonna beat yooor hippy ass"

With the LED lightbulb upgrade, it is wicked-bright. And the solid metal body serves any number of purposes from hammering-tool to self-defense as well.

 

op prob has the ML for crackin "pecans"
but should get an auto baton or cordless hole puncher

better lights:
surefire 6p bored out for 18650 battery with a malkoff drop in
(i have 10+ surefire lights but the led tints are so inconsistent)
elzetta lights
ZebraLight

 

silly rabbit ....i wear a helmet when i drive

 

or just get a billy club...I mean tire thumper.

 

I keep a ColdSteel Shambok there for "snakes". The 36" one fits nicely and gives me some reach.

 

I would rather keep a collapsible baton there.

And then have a reasonable sized flashlight that takes 3 or 4 AAA Batteries or an 18650.
If you just want the light to be tactical, get one with a "crenaled bezel" or what is basically a DNA Evidence Extraction Kit on the end

This light has been made under a variety of names from A-TAC, WaWoo, Balai, and now it looks like it is Reachoo or Hoxida. I've been running a few of these and every time I have another flashlight die due to battery corrosion or other, I replace it with one of these. The only ones I don't replace with it are the ones I keep at each entry point to the house with a clip. Those get disposable blister pack flashlights like you get in a 4 pack at Costco for $20.

My requirements are:

• Tail cap for on off functionality - you'd be surprised how many of these lights are not really "off" when you use the function selector switch. They still power the lights "brain" 24/7 drawing current.
• Separate multi function button - for the reasons above.
• Three power levels - High Med Low
• Strobe - Have used that before and it works well. Great deterrent.
• SOS - Would rather not have it. Seems useless but hey. If the light comes with it then OK, so be it.

I have a buddy that served in several third world hell holes at the request of the State Department and then patrolled some nasty inner city neighborhoods between deployments. He said that when they would dismount and walk the streets abroad or at home and go into markets or alleys or the like that occasionally the people would start to mob and come up on them. Sometimes 10 to 20 people. They weren't bothered by the AR rigged to his chest and his pistol. When less seasoned operators panicked and brought up weapons the crowd wasn't phased. It wasn't a deterrent or a motivator. But when he whipped out the baton and it made that SNIK sound extending, he said you would get an instant 20 foot radius and when you moved, the radius moved with you. Turns out most people living in those places have been beaten before and the stick was a bigger fear motivator than the gun or knife.

So I have a collapsible baton at the front door because I can leave it there and don't have to worry about it being a firearm that could fall into the hands of a child if people with children were to visit us. Deployed it just the other day when a solicitor decided that the "No Trespassing - No Soliciting - No Handbills" sign wasn't enough and he wanted to press his luck and argue the semantics of what really is "soliciting." I verbally trespassed him three times and then deployed the baton SNIK! Told him 911 has a 14 minute response average. That gives me 13 minutes of pure @$$-whipping time to beat you before the roll up and catch me in the act. His eyes got big and he hauled off the property. As he left I told him I better not catch him at a neighbors house. He kept booking it down the street.

Another thought about MagLights - Holy Jesus! Have you bought D-Cells lately? Hard to find and when you do they cost more than the flashlight.
