Great tip Kid, and welcome aboard. (Although you shouldn't talk to me because I'm bad. I'm one of those libertarian people, not that there's anything wrong with that. Too much time in Austin dont'cha know.) ;D

It's not that he's a "Libertarian" that makes him bad, it's because he's a "College Educator" ( I don't remember if he Piles Higher and Deeper or not) specializing in history and political Science. in other words he's part of the system turning out all those A holes we have to deal with.

Thanks for the welcome. Austin is a great town. As for being a Libertarian we all should begin to think that way. As I understand it Libertarians believe in more personal rights and in minimal interference from the Federal government. With President Obama pushing us toward Socialism we should all become Libertarians to counteract him. Either that or Texas should take our Governor's advice to heart and consider seceding from the Union.

He's also BAD because he decided BHO would be his next president. That and most of his comments are so full of sh!t I can smell them over a full corral at my ranch.

Take a midol Tex.I wasn't the one filling that corral. ;D Honestly, the bottom line is that you're a social conservative, I'm a social liberal and we both support the 2A. Isn't that enough? Because anyone who turns down an ally in a fire fight (and we've been in one for 40 years, ever since the Gun Control Act of 1968) is a damn fool. I'll watch your six, but if you spit in my face while I'm doing it, you, sir, are a moron.

I've got a new Tac light that might interest you guys. To begin with it is chocked full of features.

Now the specs: It has an aircraft grade annodized aluminum body. It has a LED bulb. It has a polycarbonate lens and vacuum plated reflector. It has adjustable focus. It puts out 160 lumens on the 3 AAA batteries that come with each of the two lights. It is water resistant for 30 minutes at 1 meter. It is shockproff. It has a striking bezel. It has 4 settings; 160 lumen full power, 80 lumen half power, strobe and momentary switch, all tail cap operated. It has a low battery indicator in the tail switch that illuminates at 20 % power. It also has an electronic optimizer to maintain constant lumen output for the life of the batteries. It comes with an attached lanyard.

I tested the battery life on the 160 lumen full power setting. The 3 AAA batteries lasted for a 1 1/2 hours at full output. I shut the light off and I was surprised to see that it came back on and operated at half power. Pretty good for a 160 lumen light on cheap AAAs.

Now the price. They come in a package of 2 for 19.99. You can pick them up at your local Costco. Item # 406343 FLASHLIGHT. I sent a set to Kid Shelleen for his evaluation.

What the hell, Johnny, bringing us back on topic? What's up with that? And on your very first post here too!!!! Don't let that happen again, hear? ? ?   ;D

Seriously - welcome to the site, and a great post, I will have to go to Sam's and see if they carry it to - no Costco's anywhere near here in ND. Although I am generally leary of 3-battery anything - none fo the bulk packs come in multiple of 3 IIRC. However, I am migrating to pre-charged, slow-discharge lithiums for almost everything that will take them, so that may not matter.

Head on over to the New Member forum and write yourself up so we can haze harass welcome you properly.

7/8 for the NovaTac 120T!  80mm long may be a wee short for some folk!

+1 on the Nova Tac 120-T. This light came with my LWRC CSAT Edition Rifle. This is a good video of how all of the features work. Pretty amazing light.  Bill T.
