So, if I wanted more flexibility out of my Bodyguard I could buy the MDC 16650 (2CR123 Sized) Body Only and use 2 CR123 batteries, right?
I like that capability when I travel as sometimes I only have access to CR123 batteries.
Thank you for the excellent writeup. Looks like I'll be asking Santa Claus for some Malkoff stuff for Christmas.
The MDC 16650 is an awesome light in and of itself. But yes, you could use the 16650 body with either of the Bodyguard heads. (I have used mine with the Surefire E2e which accepts the MDC heads / threads.)
I don't even bother with the CR123's but for very rarely. I find that I get good service from the 16650's and keep a spare or two around in case needed.
Lots of possible iterations with the Malkoff line. All you need to do is be mindful of the voltage any given head is rated for.
Get on the Malkoff mailing list to be notified of sales.

There's nothing civil about this war.
Correct! The v.1 version will see a jump to 900 lumens with a pair of CR123A cells. You could also use a 16650 2500mAh Li-ion cell to get some wicked-good runtime with the v.1 version.
My favorite 16650 Bodyguard setup uses a SF E-series body with a Malkoff E-series tailcap;
Keep an eye on ebay where E-series parts can sometime be found (I found this original SF Lumamax body there). Alternatively, Lumens Factory makes a decent clone.
Just thought I'd post this here;
It occurs to me that it is bordering on a dick move to not post this link:

(I like the warm tint, for the vintage 6P feel)
