Kubotan or tactical flashlight

[JohnBrantuk]

Mike, please let me know what flashlight you would purchase if:
1. Money was no object
and
2 or the best for the money (money being an object).

Thanks!

Mike,

I know you're probably terrifbly busy, but I'm still interested in getting your opinion on this.
Thanks!

While I carry a Kubotan everyday, (and would like some more formal training with it), I like the flash light. I typically carry a good old surefire G2. Sure, its polymer, but bright enough to blind and hard enough to make the BG think twice. The good news is, while Kubotan aren't airplane legal, flashlights are G2G when flying.

Sorry I missed this one. Thanks for your patience.

To be very honest, I have not done an exhaustive search of everything that's available. I usually catch up on what's happening in the industry at the IWA show (the European equivalent of SHOT), which is less hectic than SHOT.

With that said, I have been VERY happy with my Insight HX120. When I was with BLACKHAWK, I had a Gladius and liked the strobe feature, the dimming feature, and the mode switching, but I would never carry it on a daily basis because it was too big and had no pocket clip. The HX120 is much smaller and tucks in the pen pocket of my carpenter's jeans perfectly. Its mode selection is all based on operation of the tailcap switch, and with a little practice, it's almost as fast and versatile as the twisty tailcap switch of the Gladius, but without the issues associated with its magnetic switching.

I hope this helps.

Stay safe,

Mike
