    1. I know! It's a shame pistol cases are really expensive, really hard to make, and the worst part is none of them are made in America so when you buy them from overseas the tarriffs are horrendous! /sarcasm

  3. At first glance, I thought they were bolts. One of them is very similar to the M16 I used to carry.

  4. I understand, I have the addiction...and flash lights, everywhere...and batteries.
    Hey, for quite awhile you could get a 3 pack of 300 lumen lights, up to 1200 lumen lights for $20 to $40 at Costco. Some had issues, they were taken out of service, some are great. I've turned a few into weapons lights. I have some that I've had for plenty years. They seem to have stopped that practice.

  5. If one is none, two is one, and three are better, what do you call this? (though if I dug all mine out of all their hiding places I’d be close)

  6. 18600 rechargeable batteries, then pick a light for those.

    Or, get a Lithium Ion 1.5 v rechargeable battery (AA) careful tho - most AA rechargeable are 1.2 v which is not enough.

    For my car, I use USB rechargeable flashlights. Figure, if I need one away from home, I'll have to keep it charged too. Maybe like on I-80, or Santiam Pass on I-5.

  7. A little research tells me that Pelican Cases are made in Torrance California. I’ve used them for 30 plus years I guess at work and I don’t know of any that are better. I have some at home for pistols and one that’s perfect for my AR. Not a Cali fan but American through and through.
