[QUOTE="Glock 'em down, post: 1474040, member: 684"] For years I've tried to be a brand loyalist on most things...Glock pistols, Smith & Wesson revolvers...Winchester, Hornady and Federal ammo...Galco and Safariland holsters and related gear...CRKT and Spyderco knives...and last, but not least...Surefire flashlights. Well... :rolleyes2 It looks as if Surefire has to take a back seat from me for a little while, because I think I may have just found the perfect torch. :w000t: [B][I][SIZE="6"]Say hello to my little friend!!![/SIZE][/I][/B] :fullauto: [attach=full]87709[/attach] This is the new Streamlight PT-2L flashlight. :bowdown: THis little guy is incredible! :ooh2: For the last couple of years, I've carried a Surefire L4 "Digital Lumamax" flashlight on my person... Every. Single. Day. But recently I bought a new murse and decided to retire my Surefire L4 to it along with the CRKT M16-13M folder that was so generously given to me a few years ago by one of my bestest buddies here at OSA (heya Eli! :wave:). By doing that, I set out on the search for a new EDC flashlight. At first, I thought I would go with another one of my very favorite lights, the Surefire E2E "Executive Elite."
