Great. brite law enforcement flashlight - MagLite Mag Charger Flashlight

I am a police officer and have carreid this light for years. It is roughly 3 times as brite as the popular Stinger flashlight.
It is very well made in the U.S.A. at a state of the art facility that makes most of the sub components as well. This light is solid. The tempered glass lens is a nice touch.....impervious to the heat a halogen bulb can generate. This light is a full sized police flashlight that can double as an impact weapon in exigent circumstances......we all know they prefer you dont strike a bad guy with a flashlight but the reality is that when you get attacked at night you probably already have your flashlight in your hand.....so it is common sense that you might have to use it defensively...the Stinger is useless in this regard....you might have to drop it to draw your impact baton. Anyhow, a great flashlight from a manufacturer that realy believes in making their products here in the U.S.A. a litle bit on the heavy side, but should last an entire career.
Pros: Very bright, super well made
Cons: a little heavy
