    You most def got me there: it’s GDHP! I do have some 9BP that I could have subbed, but it’s a PITA to pull rounds out of the clips...

    What's the wave adapter? I like waved knives but I've never seen that before.

    What light is that? And if it's really late-80's vintage, why would you not replace it with something more modern? Out of all the things in that photo (other than maybe ammo), light and battery technology are what's improved the most in the last 30+ years.

    It’s one of the original, round bezel LP stamped surefire 6Ps. Originally a whopping 65 lumens or something, it now has a Malkoff warm tint drop-in that gives more like 200 or so, with epic run time.

    The Lincoln’s tires aren’t original either...

    Maybe not pulse pounding but I would totally rock an '86 Lincoln Town Car.

    While creating the first WeaponLights, Dr. Matthews and his engineering team quickly realized the performance limitations of the status quo D-cell battery-powered flashlights being utilized in tactical environments. In 1988, SureFire achieved another milestone by introducing the Model 6C, a true paradigm shift in hand-held tactical lighting. Powered by two lithium 123A batteries, the Model 6C delivered an astounding 60 lumens of light — six times the industry standard — from a compact flashlight measuring a mere 4.6 inches long. The Model 6C also provided rugged reliability to go with its potent output. Housed in a space-age, aircraft-grade aluminum body, it was also waterproof and shock-resistant.

    Just a few months later, SureFire improved on the design by introducing the Model 6P, which included all the features of the 6C with a unique push-button tailcap. The Model 6P set a new standard for high-performance tactical illumination tools.
    What was astounding was using them as weapon lights instead of MagLites.

    It’s no picnic driving a car that old on a daily basis. The other day I took her in because of a strange, aggressive rattle under the hood. Mechanic calls me back less than 30 min later.
