Surefire E2E.

I've been using it for the past 6+ years, and while it's showing it's age, it still works as good as the day I bought it. I've replaced the bulb once and lost track of the number of batteries I've gone through.

I use night vision.

I never want to let anyone know that I am coming or where I am.

Some are taught to shoot at the light. Or shoot just to the left of the light.

Not taking any chances.

Surefire 6P LED 120 lumens.

You have got to be able to identify your target in all lighting conditions.

Keep your options open.

Besides the obvious low-light (indoors and out of doors) and night scenarios, even in some daylight situations a flashlight is necessary to illuminate a possible threat to overcome back lighting and reveal whether it is a threat or a friendly.

I am kinda leaning towards the Streamlight Scorpion, or the Fenix. Thanks for the info.

I have a friend that loves to shoot 454 Casull, claims he doesnt need a light because if the bullet misses the burning 1/2 acre in front of the gun left by the blast will get the bg...

true story!

200 LUMENS with a 15 low, and solid as most guns.

I made the suggestion earlier, but making again because it is not the same as the older 6p. I had someone hit me with it after being in the dark and could not see for a good 20 seconds.

I also have had it for 3 or 4 months now, and use it all of the time. Original batteries still in it and just as bright as when I bought it. Its funny I sometimes feel as if I am holding a spot light.
