Sorry, but no; this can't be considered a hijacking. It's actually a full-out derailment. In fact, we went so far as to completely remove the rails, sell them for scrap metal, and then used the income from that to satisfy our Coke addiction!
:bigsmile:
Is it the same smell that's in a Harbor Freight store, you know, the smell of China? I have a Chinese made motorcycle helmet, and even after riding at 80 mph for hours, and letting it sit in the garage all winter, the thing STILL smells. My Chinese shotgun smells the same too. I can't imagine working in one of those plastics factories.
Thanks for the great review Foy, I plan on getting one of these at some point.
I don't know about anybody else, but I found that quote so funny.
Oh, and Keltex, I'm on my way!
:P
I know mexican/asian (pretty much the same), american and european coke. And although its TOTALLY off-topic (Foywontfindout) I dont understand why you guys have to drink that syrup stuff. I think thats one of the reasons Pepsi is bigger in the US. If you want a Pepsi here, you really have to search. Some cinemas have contracts with Pepsi, but those are so few.. and btw, mexican/asian/european coke is almost the same. I couldnt find any difference in a blind test.
We can buy it in 0.33, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 and 2.0 plastic bottles. glass bottles and cans are available 0.33 and 0.5 I think. Maybe shape up a group buy for coke.. I guess you could fill a whole ship. :D
Offtopic:
As a low quantity Coke user, I don´t even know what´s in EU Coke, not Corn Syrup as in US you say?
About that smell, of plastic or is it more like rubber?
I bought some chinese extension cord and cannot keep it inside (outdoor use so no prob) still smells after years. Some car floormats smell when new and they kinda make some pain to your nose when really intense.
A good point that one, I´m quite a picky nose :P
So, considering this for only work and outdoor use.
BTW trooplewis: Is the gap in Yours bigger than in Foys pics?
No, the smell of the P1 is definitely a resin of some sort.
Mexico/Asia: cane sugar
EU: beet sugar
I found a yellow o-ring that is the correct diameter, it looks pretty good
Unfortunately, the yellow o-ring is too thick, and does not allow the tail cap to be screwed all the way down, which means no electrical contact, and therefore zero lumens out-the-front.
So I had to go with a green o-ring, which allows the torch to function normally
I was thinking about getting this one for work, since it would make a good loaner when i am in the warehouse.......might have to get one this friday......
I have that light and it is quite nice. I removed the clip, looks better that way.
One other thing about the P1; With the Cr123 sleeve removed, the tube is still very narrow. I measured it at 18.75mm. Some of my HiMax 2600's fit snugly, some will not fit at all. Just beware of that when you order batteries.
Thanks for the tip.......
I finally found a niche for my P1, it is now my "pool" light. It seems to be waterproof enough for this use, and I put a cheap one mode drop in it so that if it does leak I'm not S.O.L.
Anyone got pics with clip?
I just received three P1s in the mail. Every color except black.
Just a heads up about the brown color. It is about twice as brown as their website would lead you to beleive. Sort of the color of well done steak. It is very brown. So much so that it is much closer to the green P1 than say the tan color on a Surefire G2N. Almost couldn't tell them apart when they were still in their original plastic packaging. My heart sank a little when I thought I had two greens. It's much darker than any coyote or FDE nylon I have.
I have some pictures and when my wife has time she will hopefully help me upload them.
Not disappointed, mind you, it's still pretty cool. I just though I'd give a heads up incase anybody was thinking about getting one in that color. Always better to be fully informed, right?
Thanks once again Foy for a fun review.
I have a question for anyone with a P1. What is the body diameter? I assume that it is wider than the standard L2 / 6P. Only reason I ask is because I currently use a Blackhawk Mod-U-Lok holster designed for 1" diameter bodies and want to confirm if the holster will work with the P1.
My guess is the the diameter is over 1". But only a guess.
Aleve, if I haven't said it before, welcome to BLF. I just ran upstairs and grabbed a P1. The body is 1 1/8". Near as I can tell, anyway. Just to double check the size difference, I put the P1 tail cap on an L2 and it is noticeably wider. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.
CheapThrills, I tried putting the SF clip one two of my samples and it doesn't fit. I would assume that will be the case on all of them. So if the inability to have a clip is a deal breaker you'll be P1less it seems.
Not for nothing, I just realized that this might be the only thread I helped get back on topic after participating in a derailment. Let's hope that's not a trend! :p
Darn no clip usage, in which i had a spare....you can always use a NiteIze holster to keep the light in place.
Cone ... Thanks for checking. Its as I expected. At least its a reason for me to not buy the P1.
I'll probably end up buying one eventually, but I'll hold off for a super sale.
