What about that one?
I know it's on the higher price range of your budget, but it uses rechargeable batteries, and has a high and low setting for lumens which is a must.

Of the four you listed, I'd choose the second or third one because the first does only a constant rate at 60 lumens, and the fourth one doesn't sound very efficient as a battery-life to lumens ratio.

I think 120 lumens is required to temporarily blind someone if their eyes are adjusted to darkness.

EDIT: Fenix seem to be reviewed pretty highly. I couldn't find any reviews of the one I linked, although I didn't search for really long, to be honest.

Looking around, I'm thinking about just saying "gimme teh moneyz" and adding it to my paycheck and getting a CZ52. And THEN getting a flashlight at some point later. But I'm keeping my eyes on the Fenix lights, as they seem ot have good reviews (why I looked at them) and a good price:lumen ratio.


If I had $400 extra just lying around with no firearms to pay off, I'd get the one that sets things on fire and a couple batteries!  

[OberFeldwebel]

Saw a cz52 for $250.

Is it just me or did JG have Cz52s for less than $200 a little while back?

There is one on Gunbroker with two magazines and a holster (and cleaning rod) at 95%+ for $190 and $20 shipping. I'll have that much on Christmas, but it ends in two days, not to mention I have things to spend Christmas money on, such as gifts for others, before I can buy for myself.

Nooooooooooooooooooooo!

I see some buy nows for ~250 though.
And some bid items at 195, started at 150.

Fenix or Surefire with a P60L assembly without a doubt. You can't go wrong.
The price of batteries isn't as bad once you consider what you get out of it. I've been running my Streamlight TLR-1 off the same set of batteries since I bought it and the Surefire G2Z hasn't been through many sets since I swapped out lamps. They both put out a ton of light, weigh nothing, and are very durable.
Hell, LAPG has the TLR-1 for like $75 right now. you may consider it if you're going to get a pistol with a rail in the near future.



On another note, if you can pull about $320 get a damn trade-in SIG P6.
It's as ugly as sin, but the quality is phenomenal for the price.

I find something beautiful about a blued Sig.

My shop has limited selection, and I've already picked it clean of what I want, a Taurus PT1911B. NIB but pre-owned. I stripped it and looked it over, and it was still factory new. Pre-grad in college decided he needed books more than he needed a safe queen. So I've now got a 1911 on layaway.

If Mike (the local gun dealer) ever gets on in, I'll look at it. But I've seriously been looking at the entirety of the CZ line. I like quirky (and CHEAP), which is what caught my attention with the CZ52. Majority are under $300, and the ammo is very, very cheap. Then there is the CZ75B line, fairly cheap, and from all accounts reliable and accurate.


On a funny note, Mike has a 2" .44MAG revolver with a compensator. I simply thought "WHY!?", but someone brought it in, he didn't order it.
He has lots of neat pistols, but a very meager selection of long guns. I MAY have to snatch a Mosin Nagant before they get sold, or wait for Mark (an acquaintance) to get back from duty to pull the Mosin Nagant M44 he reserved for me out of his safe.

All my money's spoken for XD

And I don't think I'll get a pistol with a rail, at least not for the rail, or really on purpose. Not soon, anyway. But I'll look at that, since I might EVENTUALLY get one.

That palm .44 is a Taurus right?
I saw one before.
If they're ported or, 'compensated' I don't think they'll kick that bad.
The massive fireball and bang will deter any other attackers if you just shot the one.

Well, I got two choices for my Christmas money.

Pay on my Taurus and keep waiting.

or

Purchase a CZ-52 and some ammo.


I'm leaning towards the second one.

Unless a ban is enacted there will always be more Taurus'.
But mil surp stuff that isn't made anymore, always finds an owner for life.  

[uryu ishida]

The Taurus is on Layaway and I owe about $600 on it. That's..... ABOUT 3 months of an AVERAGE paycheck, if I work two days a week like I have been
(3 one week on the next paycheck)

I just need to find a CZ BUNDLE for less than $270, preferably closer to $200. I got to get several late gifts I promised people with my paycheck, and MIGHT need a bit extra.


Needs to be bundle, because I am not going to pay the same damn amount for JUST the pistol and one magazine, when there are bundles of the pistol, holster, cleaning rod, and two magazines for the same price. Idiots MUST be buying them, or else more than 3 wouldn't pop up.

I agree about the damn -holster -cleaning stuff.

Honestly, wtf?
What are they going to do with the holster and cleaning rod themselves?
They have to put more effort into getting rid of the holster and cleaning stuff... I don't get it.

It's just like those dickheads that drop the spare mags for something, charge the same price and go and sell the extra mags. It's bullshit.
In my opinion, that's BBB type s**t.
