Elzetta Introduces High Output Options
It is easy for me to recommend Elzetta flashlight lights when people ask which flashlight to buy. They are the toughest lights that I have ever seen, modular enough to grow with technology, and they are made by some great folks right here in the USA. Thanks to the introduction of their new high output options, it just became even easier to recommend Elzetta lights.
From Elzetta:
Elzetta Design, LLC is pleased to announce new High Output options to its line of tactical flashlights. When fitted to an Elzetta 2-Cell Body, the new High Output Head produces 650 lumens with a runtime of 1.5 hours. When the same Head is placed on a 3-Cell Body, patent-pending Automatic Voltage Sensing (AVS) Technology instinctively boosts output to 900 lumens with a runtime of 1.7 hours. To harness this much light, the new Elzetta High Output Head incorporates a solid-acrylic field-replaceable optical lens generating outstanding throw, generous spill, and a “soft edge” that no reflector-based flashlight can replicate. The new High Output Head is available with a smooth Standard Bezel Ring or optional Crenellated Bezel Ring. The Head fits all existing Elzetta Flashlights for easy upgrade, and with fully-potted electronics, legendary Elzetta durability is not compromised. All Elzetta Flashlight components are Made in the USA, interchangeable, interoperable, and available individually for the ultimate in modularity and customization. Elzetta Flashlights are now available in 96 unique configurations. With personalized laser engraving from the Elzetta Custom Shop, variations are truly limitless.

This video does a great job of explaining all the of the features and technology that go into these lights:

SKD Benghazi Patch
The terrorist attack on Benghazi was an attack on US sovereign soil and so it was an attack on us all. While the current administration has tried to sweep it all on the rug, some of us will not forget. If you won’t forget, you might be Ben Ghazi. Check out the SKD Benghazi Patch.

The Tactical Handyman’s Toolbox: Paint Pens
Paint pens are extremely important and extremely versatile to a shooter. There are some surfaces, like smooth steel or black anodized aluminum, that a pen, pencil, or even a permanent marker like a Sharpie just won’t write on or at least won’t show well. When you come across a surface like that, only a paint pen will do.
Use your paint pen to:
- Mark magazines with numbers and distinctive marking patterns so you can identify problem magazines and identify your magazines in a crowd.
- Witness mark rear sights on handguns so you can tell if they have drifted or mark the center so you can easily swap rear sights.
- Witness mark every threaded fastener (screws, bolts, nuts, etc.) on your firearm that is crucial to proper function so you can tell if something needs to be tightened at a glance.
- Mark the location of various items like optics, lights, and vertical grips so that you can easily return them to the same locations should you need to remove them.
- Place a dab of paint onto screw threads to use it as a thread locker (like Loctite) in a pinch.
Numbering magazines and witness marking threaded fasteners are some of the habits of successful shooters. Those two tasks alone justify adding some paint pens to your toolbox.
