I was going to buy a SureFire, but decided to stay up late one night instead.

Anyone here got a cz p07? I'm thinking about getting one in 9mm. I'm going to call around and see if any local gun shops got one.

I'm going to make some more, but next time around I won't buy a host and use the internals. I'll be buying the LED's, drivers, clickys, batteries and reflector individually then machine the housings exactly how I want them.

The one above was a bit restricted by the internals. That one is three different pieces that thread together. Reflector drops in, rubber boot drops in next, spacer, led/driver threads in. That is all in the front piece. Then the clicky drops in the back, battery pack threads into that then the center tube threads around the battery pack and that whole assembly threads around the front assembly... I'll take some photos disassembled later tonight.

The next ones will be 1" diameter but the center will taper down since I will be using a single battery instead of three AAA's. It will also be shorter.

Single battery torches are the worst.

Why is that? I'm assuming you know your stuff since you used the word "torch". I'm just getting into them so any education is much appreciated.

Haha that's just what we call them here.

He might actually be a personal lighting system enthusiast, I don't know.

I've been lurking pretty hard for the past few weeks gathering info/etc and everyone that makes their own calls them torches. That's why I said that. I didn't know that's also just what you call them over there.

Aha, I'm not a torch enthusiast or whatever but when I was looking for one all the single battery torches are terrible. For example the pocket ones that run off a single AAA battery are terrible compared to the ones that have 4 little cell batteries.

If you manage to get a decent amount of light out of a single battery torch then how long it'll last is really shit.

It won't be off a single AAA. There are larger more powerful batteries with longer runtimes that are commonly used for flashlights/torches.

I just bought a cz p07 today. Its my first handgun purchase since I just recently turned 21. Can't wait to get it. I can see this becoming a huge addiction for me.
