| I've had my eye on a Z2 Combatlight after getting the last issue of the Hammacher Schlemmer catalog. At $115 I don't think I will be getting it there. So anyone have a favorite vendor for "tactical" flashlights (sorry I couldn't resist!!!)I figure if the price is right I would give some biz to one of our supporting vendors. |

Check out Botach. Their rep was a little iffy but as of late all of my business has been 100% perfect. Lots of good lights on sale right now.

Quoted: Thanks for the link Five-O. Looks like my trusty maglight is on the way out. The Maglites were state-of-the-art a few years ago, but no longer. The newer hologen lights such the Pelicans etc are much brighter, and Surelight have minimized the dark black spot in the middle of the beam. |

Tony, you can usually get 30 or so Toshiba 123s for around $20-30 from Botach. Ask them. I just set myself up with a G2, a batt/lamp "Spares Carrier" and an extra lamp assembly. I like it alot. I have a D2 I got a year ago and an 8X I carried on patrol for 5 years. You can not beat a Surefire. Period.

I ordered about $300 worth of stuff in 4 orders for various Christmas presents and I had literally not one problem. |
