Just got an email from Mountain. Apparently some color/ led combinations are already in stock so mine was indeed sent today! I ordered the black in neutral white. 9.29 is the date where all variants will be in stock I believe.
Would like to see that too. But I doubt it can out throw a stock XPL HI 7135x8 C8. A modded FET C8 would destroy the D1. But the most important thing about the D1 is that it’s very capable for such a small light. And it can throw while still having a decent sized hotspot and useful amount of spill. I haven’t been this impressed by a pocketable thrower since nineteen ninety eight when the Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted sixteen feet through an announcer’s table.

That is an awesome reference my man, but is it edc able? Undertaker would take one heck of a pocket clip
I love mine so far. I got it in today from Mountain. Ordered it 3:45 Saturday and got it today in the mail box. How is that even possible? Unbelievable the output in such a small single emitter reflector flashlight. It has enough spill to be very useful and a nice even hotspot. It throws similar to my completely stock astrolux s2. It’s quite a bit smaller and has the same awesome UI as the newest version of the D4. I can’t think of a better mixed throw/some usable spill edc flashlight. If you need your edc to reach out to intermediate distances, it will be hard to beat the D1 especially for its size. Hank I love your approach to building flashlights, I think my wife hopes it will be a few weeks before you release any more!! Some kind of nonsense about buying food and gasoline. Who needs to eat when you can buy new flashlights:-)
Can you compare it to a Manker T01 or a Manker U11 or an EagleTac TX25C2 if you happen to have any of those 3? Would love to se a beam comparison of those, I might sell the T01 and get the Emisar as replacement!
Damn I just got mine today as well! Ordered Sat afternoon, received Monday?? WOW!
Bad news is battery not here yet (ordered from Illum as Mountain didn’t have VCT6 in stock). I was sure the battery would get here before the light!
Welp can’t test it out with no power BUT I can say the size is way smaller than the photos but in a good way. LOVE the palm size, build quality is superb, design is simple…
That just means they received your order. I placed an order for the 3A grey version on Friday morning and just got a shipment notification about an hour ago.
