Great Mag-lite and Streamlight Dealer

Post by F9K9 »

I found this outfit through Ebay. Since I wanted to buy several items I asked the seller how to complete this task. The Seller (David) emailed me back and told me to call him at the toll free number he provided. :D

His prices were cheaper on his own site and he was a pleasure to work with. He is the cheapest I have seen dealing with the rechargable flashlights and the other prices look just as good :thumb:

I was rebuilding three mag-lites. I got the parts in record time. I was still having problems with one flashlight and emailed him a question. I didn't get a return email but got a phone call after 9PM (my time) and his help got my third light up and running :shock:

If you need parts or lights, I cannot recommend anyone higher than DLS Rnterprises :thumb:

Maybe this is a good place for everyone to post on the flash light they use in Brules quick fist flash light mod.

I'm looking to get a rechargeable one and I'm not sure what to get.

Ludwis.

I was on top of all the high tech law enforcement gear until May of 2002. A lot of products have come out since then. :D

Borderman may chime in. I know in my day the US Border Patrol had a lot to say at the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center. They work hard and when they ask for new equipment, the manufactures and the training center listened.

I had three mag-lites which I inherited (at retirement) and always had good luck with them.

As a K-9 handler if, I was called on a tracking situation after dark in remote terrain, I figured a good mag-lite or streamlight was good for one hour. If I knew I had a long track I carried 3 rechargeable mag-lites. a 6P lithium powered light and a 4 c cell maglite.

Borderman is more current on your situation

The mag light still rules..
I use a 4D cell for tracking through the desert. Good fro several hours use, plus it makes a good self defense weapon if #&*@ hits the fans. For everything else I use a rechargeable stinger made by Streamlight. It has a very powerful light but like F9K9 stated good for only an hour per charge.

That is a good deal and it has free shipping. It beats the seller I was toting about by under 10 bucks but, I was impressed with the service I recieved :D

David will be a warranty center in a couple months and told me that He'd handle problems without "proof or original purchase" :D

It was pleasant to have help on the phone when I had a light broken down in more pieces than I knew was possible after 9 PM. :wink:

The choice is entirely up to you. The Stingers were out when I was working but, the light weight was a concern to me when alternative uses were considered :D

I wanted BorderMan to chime in because I was serious about manfacturers catering to the US Border Patrol wishes. I knew he would tell you what is the ticket today and not stale from 5/2002.

Before 9/11 the federal law enforcement training center listened so hard to them that a second training center was established in AZ.

Anyway, the maglite is a good choice but, I'd prefer to have a "backup" light source like a Surefire 6P

or a minimag handy
