Skunkabilly got it right - the E2E has an "Outdoorsman" model - it's the same as the regular E2E, but with a longer clip.
Mine had the original short clip and I broke it. They'll send a free replacement, but I didn't bother, because I like to carry my light tip (bulb) down IWB (easier for me to draw that way). I think their clip is rather cheesy anyway.
I had a bigger, wider steel clip that I attached by winding paracord around it, leaving enough cord to wrap around my fingers, and at the end to make it fit around my wrist. I'll have to do a couple pics to show you. Oleg has the Outdoorsman model, and I'll get him to photograph that also.
A smaller light, I carry a Scorpion, or other such Streamlight or Surefire.
And a larger aircraft aluminum light, Streamlight/Maglight, that will double duty as an impact weapon. Train with both.
El Tejon.
I have shot at night. My first expereince with this was at My first personal defense course. On the third day when I was felling pretty cocky with my shooting abilities we went out that night and I couldn't hit anything for the first 30 rounds or so. Groups never did tighten up until the second night.
I shoot alot at evening/night now. Necessary training and just plain fun
Just got my Surefire G2 Nitrolon yesterday. For their cheapest model, I am very impressed. The standard 60 lumen light is very bright. I looked at the beam and was seeing spots for 10 minutes. I may order the P61 lamp for a scorching 120 lumens. With that much light at night, you may not need pepper spray!
I had a Mini Maglite in a neat little belt pouch but it has gotten to where it doesn't want to work unless you tap it on stuff . So I'm looking for a replacement!
For personal light just to see stuff with, a Photon or Pelican LED on the key ring. For serious light, SF or Streamlight in the 6P/Scorpion family. SF has a high-output lamp assembly for the 6P-Z series that cranks 120 lumens. It eats those $5 batteries rather quickly tho.
I carry a Pila GL2 every where I go. Neat little light. Has an 80 lumen Xenon bulb for the main lamp and the tailcap is a 5 lumen LED lamp for those times when you don't want a miniature sun. about the same length as a 6P but a bit thicker.
I carry a Surefire 6P with me everywhere. I'm gonna pick up the 120 lumen lamp as soon as the local shop gets some in, I can't even imagine how bright that is gonna be
I bought a G2 Nitrolon as my first tactical light. Great price, great light. But I keep accidentally activating the thing in my pant pocket! I see that they sell a switch upgrade that looks to be more resistant to this kind of accidental activation, but it's only available fo the higher end models:
I use a Glock light - on my Beretta! It fits, was cheap (compared to the M3s and others anyway), and works. 2 CR123s. - around 60-70 lumens (my estimate).
I often carry a Streamlight "TwinTask" with both LED and 74 lumen Xenon bulb. It works well for what I do with it but the switch would be difficult to index in a REAL emergency. I might get something brighter later.
Thanks for the tip. I called SureFire instead because I wanted to check out what their customer service was like. The answered the phone promptly. The 6P tailcaps do fit the G2 Nitrolon, but by themself they cost more than the light does. So I think I am going to keep the Nitorolon in a holster in the car as backup.
I ordered a Streamlight Baton (for the keychain), a Pelican M6 LED and a bunch of batteries last night from brightguy.com. If the Pelican doesn't have the light output that I want I'll use it as a camping light, which would make a great application for it regardless, and buy a Surefire G2Z or E2D for daily carry.
I have an Arc AAA on my keychain and carry a Surefire L4 body with a KL1 head (15 lumens for 3 hours, 2 CR123 batts) wherever I go. I carry the KL1 for longer life as opposed to brightness.
In my bag I always have a Surefire L4 readily accessible.
