Damn, bro, that thing looks like Darth Vader at the end when they take off his mask. More aftermarket than original. :D
Mine, due to leaps forward in output with other models, spent the last 2 decades in the safe, being used for 60-120 seconds at a time to find a knife or GI-spec 1911 mags and the like. Even the original tailcap (branded "laser products") rubber is still pliable and working after 3 decades. The Malkoff drop-in makes me feel like the flashlight version of the guy with a clean C3 Vette with a new LS motor under the hood.
