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  |
Still have and use my Kell-lite, 7 c cells. Nice lite. They replaced the old night sticks. I have seen what a big Maglite does.
Never used the Kell-lite for attitude adjustments. I pulled my small sap once and started towards the gents head, his eyes crossed watching it approach. He opened his hands and I stopped just before contact.
He really needed it, convicted murderer of a 70 some year old lady at her mom and pop store. All I was thinking of was all the paperwork I would have to fill out on why he had a split skull.
