To those skeptics, may I ask if your opinion about flashlights changes if:

1. One were to use the strobe function? I see two benefits: a. it's a bit more disorienting for the enemy and b. it's not as easy to "track" the beam of light back to the good guy

2. One were to use a pressure switch instead of a constant on/off button? Given the (generally) accepted superiority of Crimson Trace lasergrips vs. their competitors which have the on/off at the trigger guard, I could see how something like this:

or this:

Would allow for more control/responsiveness.

very respectfully,
Moose
