Me too. I spell it Ctrl-C/Ctrl-V

Cool

Thanks Garry, I thought It was just me :)

Every time I need to go to the Tractor Supply. :)

Thanks for the info on the XDM.

Thanks for the tip. Complete newbie here.

Got my unbranded Sipik SK68 clone from TomTop.com today. Tailstands. Works on AA or 14500. Zooming movement is pretty rough. Not bad for $7.

the latest ones i got were rough - they use a metal c-ring around the pill instead of o-ring. easy fix

I got my 4 black 3100 mah panasonics from Int. outdoor. Currently on charge in 2 xtar chargers. thanks Hank

I've just received the Romisen RC-T601 II XML U2 2 mode from Shiningbeam.

Ordered 14th March, Shipped 15th, arrived on my doorstep here in the UK on 23rd. Thanks to Brian.

I always found this one to be hightech and rugged looking. The price can’t be beat: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/multi-position-flashlight-gun-mount-for-picatinny-rail-black-100371

Here is the one that E and I both use on our hand guns. We both use 501A in it and it is rugged, simple and DX has the best price I've found for it anywhere. It's where I got mine. It fits my sub-compact XD so it will be fine on your compact:

Since I wasn't using it anymore, I gutted this Xtar WP2 and made a 2 cell 18650/18700 balance cradle. Works really well :)

I got 2 Xstar 18700 2600mah in today!!!

Bills :(

Ah, it's great to know that someone thinks of you... Smile

Not sure whether to laugh or not at that one.

But it won't make it better to be upset so I laughed. :)

No biggie if you just get 2.13$ worth of them ;)

Ready-to-use (LSD) batteries AA from LIDL-Germany (they are rather cheap with €12 for 16pcs. All other formats available too... even C/D-cell LSD batts) and a UniqueFire UF-V4 from DD.

That means they really, really love me because they think of me every 1st week of the month.

Thank JM! i actually got 1 off ebay from texas for $10.99. i want it now ok maybe by tuesday.

I got a clip for a Shiningbeam S-Mini . I bought it to see if it would fit on a Romisen RC-C3 . It does . As a matter of fact , it actually fits perfectly on the non-knurled parts of the body .

I wanted a small , bright , lightweight light to use as a headlamp to clip to a cap . I love the tint of a Q3 5C emitter and I figured that a cr123 light would be perfect for a cap light .

I was not happy with the beam profile of the RC-C3 stock , so I diffused the beam by spraying the lens with window frosting spray . Perfecto .

Now the only two problems I can see are : The light has to be turned on with two hands , and I have to take the cap off to do it . Also , it's a bit heavier than I thought it would be .

Overall , for less than $20 I created a high CRI , fairly powerful cap light .
