Not really EDC,
Just warm and fuzzy stuff.
I love those .45 loads. I'm such a sucker for a .45!
It truly does. When I venture out at night, it goes in my pocket.
This is my Lego rendition of the Bodyguard v.2, configured for use with the Rogers-Surefire technique;
- Malkoff Bodyguard v.2 head
- Oveready E35 body
- Oveready tailcap with McClicky and medium press boot
- Malkoff grip ring
- Orbtronic 18350 1200mA IMR cell
The above parts require some minor fitting, if anyone needs guidance let me know.

Yes, I EDC this light every waking moment!
Have pocket, will travel - this light fits perfectly in the right-front zippered pocket of the Duluth Foreman's Pants. It rides so comfortably I don't even know it's there.
This is not only an illumination tool, but can also serve as a small battering ram. :-)
This light is truly the culmination of years of experimentation, finding just the right combination of parts to fit my needs.
Menu of parts;
- Malkoff M91T head with high/low switch
- Malkoff MD4 body (can be ordered sans tailcap)
- Lumens Factory SW01 tailcap
- Powered by a pair of Orbtronic IMR 18650 3500mAh cells
The light output is a useful blend of lumens and candela - plenty of spill for SA and with 19k candela, plenty bright. On high, the light will run for over two hours. Low setting, which is accessed with a twist of the head, is more than enough for general administrative uses and provides in excess of 12 hours of run time.
The Lumens Factory "twisty" tailcap has become a favorite. It's based on the old Surefire Z31 design, but is upgraded with a copper plunger. It has a fantastic momentary-only feel, is extremely durable and capable of handling high current. Unlike clicky switches, there are no tiny parts. The tailcap can be tightened to enable constant-on operation, but I use a thick O-ring to prevent unintentional tightening. In combination with the MD4 body, the ergonomics are excellent.
The key to carrying a large light is finding a comfortable way that does not interfere with daily activities and is discreet. As I mentioned above, the Duluth Foreman's pants allow me to do so.
If anyone is interested in the assembly details (there are some), feel free to ask.
