So it appears my duty flashlight has grown legs

[Gravyman]

Formerly had used a Klarus brand. Now needing to replace it I was wondering if Klarus was still the best bang for your buck?

Lots of people will hate on olight, sometimes for good reason. If you want best bang for your buck, check out weuben. I have three thrunites, two olights, two streamlights. For a duty/carry light weuben is just so good for the price.

Two of my favorites I built in Matt desert tan.

I bought a Convoy m21B last fall. That thing is the brightest light I have ever used.

Well I ended up going with the updated model of the Klarus. Only draw back was the battery is an add on.

it appears around here about the only place to get them is Greens. I am probably just going to go by there later this week and get the battery.

Honestly seem like a poor choice to go cheap on the battery. I am kicking around the idea of getting a holster for it. Kind of on the fence about it. I really do not need something else on my belt. Kind of looking to see if anyone makes a mag carrier with a slot for a flashlignt?

Otherwise I may just stick to pocket carry.

I'm not familiar with that flashlight. How big is the body of it? There are several makers that make it for a 1" body

Just broke out the tape measure, yeah me measuring something lol.

But it is about 3/4 diameter at the tail switch and one inch at reflector end and 8 inches in length overall.

thanks

8 inches is probably to long for the style that holds it by the tail switch area. I'm not sure if anyone makes one with a loop the flashlight can go through.

I did carry my bigger flashlight at work with one of these, it's not terribly bulky when not being used, and is pretty easy to remove. I think they make them for 1" flashlights also

Thank you I am still kind of on the fence about it.
For work I may just stick to using the left side pocket of my 511,s I am not sure it may well be designed for a flashlight?

For nights and weekends I may just experiment. I always carry everything on the right between 15:00 and 16:00. Ideally I would not mind finding a leather mag light combo.

Thinking this might work

Late to the party, but I've been carrying a Nitecore p12 for 10ish years. I bought it at Bill Goodman's at Hara Arena, and 18650 batteries at RadioShack. Absolutely a great light that I would recommend to anybody.

Interesting thread. I have been carrying an Olight S2R Baton II for a couple of years as an EDC. I use it every single day, and have had zero issues.
I have been considering passing it on to my wife and upgrading. Lately Acebeam has my attention with the EL70? Larger battery and I think 4600 max lumens? I might have the model wrong.

I've carried a wuben L50 for 7 or 8 years now. Best flashlight I've ever owned. Gets a bit warm if left on for awhile, but no complaints.
