I don't like tail clickys

Well, locking pocket knives are strictly illegal in the UK so the non-locking ones sell here. Maybe there's a country where clicky flashlights are a crime?

That sucks about the lock blade knives. Can’t imagine a scenario where they would be any more dangerous than a fixed or non-locking.

i luve looking at beautiful women. i mean the mature ones. their double symmetric voluptuous figure lines. ive got one of them hanging on my white wall. so charmingly she looks back at me from the wall!!

and on the shelf i am looking for the same. however looking at the profile of a side clicky in the afterglow all i see are the asymmetries of a doodle bug climbing a manchester..

yeah, but if you could just push a button on the side to turn them on, I’d take a woman with a side clicky instead of the complicated stuff that comes stock.

UH OH. This has gotten out of my class. I still prefer the side clicky and let the women do as they will. I can't see any other woman than my wife - of nearly 58 years. WOW. Has it been great!!!

Those were the days, before all this! Just one single mode, ON. And a switch on the side, I'm very partial to the side clickies, namely streamlight. Friends dad has a stinger where you click once on the side clicky, it turns on high. Hold the clicky, and it cycles through High med and low. Double click fast and it strobes pretty fast on high. Only thing I didn't like about this was that you could ONLY strobe on high. and, though I didn't check, from my use of it, which is several hours, I didn't notice memory.Sooooooo

Side clickies with memory is da best

Good thinking, troop!

And on topic, I'm trying to boycott tail clickies out of great preference for side switches, but it's difficult because of the paucity of the latter.

Boycott tail switches. I Like that!

Old School. Side swich, On/Off.

Love it!

Thanks for the warm welcome.

I mentioned previously that I was in need of a firm mount for my new tail clickie light to keep it pointed in the right direction. Well I came up with a solution. You can see it here:

Booo Boooo!!!! I love tail clickies, it just makes more sense to have the clicky on the back on most lights.

Clicky buttons on the front are the worst things they can do .... Twist are okay, BUT then they need two hands.

So rear click lights are the best.

I don't like tail switches either.

I prefer a side switch on everything other than a single AAA type of light and one those I prefer a twist as the tail switch either makes it too long or, if recessed, too hard to activate.
