Mag in the same sentence as Surefire. Interesting. The only thing Maglites have going for them is marketing, brand recognition and low cost. Other than that, they're overweight, oversized and underperforming crap. In Surefire's corner are marketing, brand recognition, and high prices. The thing to do is buy something between the two extremes.

I don't find my mag to be overweight, oversized or a poor performer. Its solid, reliable, casts a nice even beam in both wide and focused mode and has the rugged feel of a good baton in the event its needed for hostile vagrants. A flashlight is only as good as how well it meets your individual needs. After owning quite a variety of flashlights over the years - in my experience, I wouldn't dismiss a mag as "crap".
You can always tell when you're watching Canadian television - the actors in the show are the same ones doing the commercials. |
