They got this backwards.
The bulb should be on the bottom and the button on the top…so u can hold the handle and shine the light at your subject and if needed, hit him in one swoop.
The way they have it now, ud have to turn it upside down before u strike.
FYI: California Penal Code section 22210 provides “any person in this state who . . . possesses any . . .
weapon of the kind commonly known as a billy, blackjack, sandbag,
sandclub, sap, or slungshot, is punishable by imprisonment . . . .” This looks like it would clearly qualify, and the ad blurb confirms it. See People v. Grubb, 63 Cal.2d 614. Fair warning.
This design was rejected by the Jedi Council as an early lightsaber prototype, but later picked up by Yukon Outfitters at auction when the inventor had to pay off creditors. Poor Jedi Master Barr Ybonds.
Agreed, but I would put bulb on bottom, AND the switch along the side of the grip.
I have the Maglite 4 D-cell incandescent with the button on the side, towards the bulb, and this seems like the more natural (and balanced) position to hold and deal a defensive blow, if necessary.
With either set-up, you’re going to take the light off the threat, which seems like a bad option.
Although, at lease with this YO solution, I could probably affix the light to a flashlight holder on the picatinny rail of my pistol. #TrulyTactical
Well, the picture kind of makes it look like a baseball bat, doesn’t it, but 16 inch one. It doesn’t even take D batteries, but uses size C instead. Seems to me that a tactical flashlight shaped likenambat ought to be a good bit chunkier than that. Just my opinion.
“The Defender 500 is made of … really … high grade aluminum … steel”
I’m not familiar with that alloy, but it sounds impressive. I think he should have listed a few more elements from the periodic table, just to be sure.
Surprised you’re allowed to drive a car. The legislature hasn’t left you much for self-defense, have they? Not that you would need it in Sunny California. (sarcasm alert)
I thought the same thing when I saw the light. All you need is a police man having a bad day to make your life pretty miserable. Why take the chance when any normal Mag light will do the trick of providing light and protection without any extra scrutiny?
