I'm using an Emisar D4 XPL-HI as a keychain light, just a mere 3000 lumens. That's Hank Wang lumens, not ebay lumens! Battery capacity and amp output is increasing all the time.

Yeah I hear a lot about UK knife laws and how odd and sometimes silly they can be with the locking, size, and one-hand opening restrictions, and that whole "It is illegal to carry a knife in public without good reason" thing. The good news is that I think the limit is 3 inches, not 2, and these days there are some interesting and good quality UK-legal knives being offered ~
 I assume you can own other types of knives at home? I hear Canada ain't much better, and I know knife-collecting canucks who have a terrible time getting companies to even ship them a old-time jackknife. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

A knife for self-defense is a terrible idea. Wounds, jail, and the possibility your opponent will obtain control of the knife. And "knife fighting" is a fool's fantasy except when practicing strictly theoretic martial arts. That said, there has been some fascinating tests showing someone with a knife can close the distance with someone armed with a gun pretty effectively.

oh there is the famous Tueller study which is the basis of most close quarter tactical training with firearms. 21 feet.. thus we are trained to use the retentive position at close quarters.. every fractin of a second counts at distances closer than that.. yet most untrained shooters don't use that style and can be at a distinct disadvantage against a fixed blade at very close quarters. ------------- The Pedro and Micky Experience - When one no longer requires psychotropics to trip |

Didn't know you had a youtube channel. 2.8k subs, not bad. Do you consider yourself part of the Gear community, or just a flashlight nut ? I'm considering starting an EDC channel one day, seems like fun but work, too.

3.47k! I love lights in general since visiting Blackpool and Vegas as a kid, I've recently gotten into flashlights as they've gone from 600 lumens to 60,000 lumens! It's hard to explain but when you turn night into day or create a lightning storm it makes you feel powerful! The latest light I've reviewed will blow the mind of anyone you show it to... ------------- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BpOoJ0OTLg0&t" rel="nofollow - Click here to see a mind-blowing Flashlight |

To be honest, even $629 sounds somewhat sexual. Not only does it include the digits 6 and 9, which when put together... you know... but also, when spoken in a certain way, it sounds like "sex tonight"... ... but it's probably time we move away from X-rated stuff and go back to talking about flashlights... ... thank God there are no kids here! ;) ------------- "I have made good judgments in the past.

Model 29 / 629's were OK but not for all day factory ammo use. When I was shooting - 20 years ago - I had a Ruger Redhawk, the five and a half barrel one (KRH-445) in stainless. Mind you, you tend to go bankrupt shooting factory ammo all day. I once had a .44 explode next to me on the range. The shooter (inexperienced handloader) had just had the barrel cut back to just forwards of the ejector shroud. He'd had the butt strap altered to be more like a K frame. Gun came back from Birmingham proof house, he loaded up some 240 grain hollowpoints, but used Vihtavouri N340 instead of N110. 23 grains of it, compressed powder load. There was the sound of a wineglass shattering - the top three rounds in the cylinder detonated, the cylinder split in two, the top strap blew off and the barrel and frame were bent down to about 30 degrees out of true. We found the foresight fifteen yards away. He just got a small cut on his cheek from shrapnel. I gave up shooting twenty plus years ago after the Dunblane shootings. Actually, I'm now a very big advocate against public ownership of firearms. ------------- |

^ It's a very fair point: so easy for someone living or working in a relatively safe area to say "don't use a knife or gun for defense", but there are those who truly may need some kind of protection other than their fists or the police, even if they'd rather not resort to it. ------------- "Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." -- John F.

| My view is that if guns were not so readily available (I’m aiming this at US) then gun crime would not be so high. I understand those who live in shadier neighbourhoods, but I do feel many are just middle aged man-boys living in perfectly safe areas using their “right” to carry arms as an excuse.

yeah this is a topic best discussed elsewhere.. we were having some fun with knife and gun porn as being more manly than flashflight porn... and in fact I was heading that way with this topic in a more pertinent thread. I hope I didn't come across as an cynical a****le in my reply, oh I am one, but only an a****le to those that deserve it. The cynicism comes with ..as Dave well puts it.. one who has walked many a mile. In a perfect world sweetie.. but that is far from what we have.Welcome to the forum btw.
