agreed. I use surefire g2 and e2d for most part. Then I have a right angle rechargable fire fighters light and a huge rechargable firefighters lantern from the same company (streamlight I think). Both were gifts from an Oklahoma FD for OKC bombing help.

I'm not particularly fond of mags. I guess I just got used to SureFires and the like.

What can I say, I bought another one today. Local store had all Mag-Lites on sale, 20% off. Got an incandescent bulb AA Mini in a nice shade of violet along with a Nite-Ize LED upgrade for about 15 bucks.

As I posted earlier, I've never had any issues whatsover with any of the Mags I've owned over the years, with one exception, somebody wrote that they have too many parts? Not sure that computes as they are one of the simplest flashlights made, very basic switches, virtually no wiring, no circuit boards, etc. Ah well, to each their own.

As for police use, I see where Pelican has apparently picked up the LAPD contract as they are now selling a light that was designed by them and somebody at the LAPD, it is apparently standard issue nowadays.
