I still have my Sap and it is full of great memories of cop work.

I heard that some of the earliest lights carried by some PD's were Kell-Lites. Apparently, you could get one good whack before the cap flew off and your batteries went everywhere....
I had a Streamlight SL-20 with the adjustable intensity (variable brightness) knob at the end where the batteries goes....I lost that cap one dark night, but the gentleman whom was receiving 'adjustment' that night lost 5 front teeth. I had to put the original cap back on. It was a sad day indeed, that dimmer made paperwork easier on the eyes (re-adjustment to night vision).
If you have a big one - post it up. I just love the S&W toys
