Side note - quick Oakley trivia question. At the last Presidential "swearing-in" (January 2013) which Supreme Court Justice wore Oakley's during the ceremony? Bonus points, what kind of Oakley's where they?
Circling back, things that both companies share ... 1- both founded in California 2-both companies have grown their profile through government contracts 3- both companies have large followings in the Law Enforcement and Military communities. 4- both companies share a core ideal, to enhance or...
It's so much harder than that, what kind of gun? Fixed, picatinny, rail mount, removable? What's more important to you, runtime or output? I'd go with the Scout / E-series 1 or 2 x CR123. It's a good value. You can swap out tail-caps for pressure switch changes. If it's for a handgun, look at...
Rustpot - I'm not here to try to "sell' anything. Surefire makes the best mass produced flashlights (rile-mount/tactical) available. They are the best in the business. However, if you know anything about modern flashlight technology (which you obviously don't) then you would know that...
Whoa whoa, I'm a die-hard surefire collector (see pics). If your buying "off the shelf" look at oveready/surefire P60 host/drop-in or E-series or HDS, or Malkoff. I wanted to show him something from CPF, if you want something custom.

I'm a real estate developer by day, and by night a Flashaholic with zero engineering or fabrication ability. We have an incredible group of custom modders from around the world at CPF. I'm lucky to have the chance to own some of these lights
Since Oakley isn't designing anything even close to the X-Metal line, it seems that the prospect for new Oakley high-end composite metal frames is hopeless. Sad. No one here is making custom composite metal frames? The prospect is that the X-Metal panache will die soon.
Good point, I guess you could say that Tritium and Sunglasses are completely antithetical. Tritium is used to locate something in the dark, so when would you need to find your sunglasses in the dark? its a double negative - jumbo shrimp. Now that I'm thinking of it, it may be one of the...
Their flashlights are a Joke!!!!!!! They use cheap Chinese parts, horrible LED emitters and after 15 seconds, the light becomes to hot to hold. Don't waste your time or money. IF you are looking to purchase a "real" flashlight (regardless of its intended use) please, please check out CPF...
