    My EDC flashlight and my...pretend edc flashlight. Bored on a sat watching the kids.

    1. Surefire backup I have had for eternity, the switch went bad in the clicky so I put one from a scout on it so I can tail stand . Also, the bell housing aids in holding it when you are using it as a weapon light. It sucks as a weapon light because it has a low lumen second stage that invariably comes on. I stuck with clicky for this one because I find myself using the low light quit a bit.

    2. Old e2e that I swapped out the head for a malkoff scout unit and put on an arisaka tail cap for momentary on and tail standing. I probably should carry this one but I do like the low light mode of the backup.

    Big fan of Surefire Scouts and Backups and carry them daily. My Backup is the twisty high/low model which, IMO, is the one to get. Very tight beam though I’d like a little more spill- something more akin to an X300.

    I will probably pick that one up at some point. Before I built up the E2E i was running a smaller Malkof head on the backup that essential turned it into an old e1.

    SF has their Tactician out, or coming out. twist head for 800 or 5 lumens. It also running with an MSRP of $150 so I am interested.

    Downside I am not sure what parts interchange with the other lines or scouts. And It looks to have a single direction pocket clip.

    Me. I EDC a Vtac L4. Single output and tough SOB, with exception of the pocketclips.

    I’m sure I’ll probably pick up a tactician once the rush is over.
