I own all the lites- 2,3,and 4D-cell. They are outstanding, but the size can be a problem at times.

I love the 3 D-Cell, it's just about right when it comes to size, battery life and self-defense.

I had one for a long time and it has taken some serious abuse and has always worked. No issues at all

This light holds a great charge and it lite wieght for me I am very happy to have this light and i would tell everyone they should use this and it is very bright and I love it

This make a good weapon in a pinch also. I can contest to that ! Thank you MAGLITE, I've used this light for 19 years!

On Duty Flashlight

Good flashlight. Great for backup weapon, could be a little brighter though. All around good working tool.

Great flashlight on or off duty.

Runs down a little fast, but can be used as more than a light!

I like this bad boy for use in my car, if I ever need to use it as a blunt object it works well too.

I keep one in my car and use it too many times to count. Best flash light around.

True America success story.. owner was a reserve LASD deputy.. built an empire.. AMERICAN MADE...

I love it.. I own a bunch.. I sent one back with exploded batteries and they sent me a new one for free even though it was my fault... just for writing them a nice letter...
that... is customer service beyond....
Ive done everything with these... from hammering stuff to hammering people...
great product made better by LED technology

I agree w/ "bluestar" when I was in uniform I always carried the big light as well as a small one. Now that I'm in plain clothes I use the Streamlight Scorpion and Stingers. The original Mag-lights are by far the best.

Have owned one for quite some time. LOVE it. Just don't use rechargeable Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries as the second they start to lose a little juice, they dim to about half the ordinary lumens INSTANTLY. This proves to be an incovenience when lighting is critical.

On and off duty I have always carried one of these. The 3 cell seems to be the perfect size for me. 4 cells are just too much to be slapping against my thigh in a chase. (ouch)

As they say.. " It shows them the light, and leaves a good impression" *chuckles*

I also keep one in the car, and in the house just in case.

They have all been dropped, and taken beatings.. but still work after years. Love the neoprene covers too. Nothing worse then touching one of these in cold weather then trying to write a report with cold hands..

Barasha

An all time fav. Good on or off duty. Long lasting, bright light & it comes in handy for self defense as well.

Good light...............

I really like this flashlight. I recieved it as a gift from my husband. It has a really bright light. Just a little tricky to adjust the beam just the way you want it. But otherwise a great flashlight.

This lite is very dependable.

it's ok!!!!!!!!!!!!1

I wish I had an led mag light. But I am not arguing with a regular one either.

It's a nice flashlight, I used it for years both while on duty and while off.

It doesn't get much better than these flashlights. Even though I carry a small light on my belt, this one is always my first choice. Best of all, it doubles as an impact weapon in a pinch!

Very bright and it comes in all sizes.

Pretty good all purpose flashlight. I do use my mini-mag more offten though

My Maglite is 7 years old. Still works like new. Great light.

tried and true tool of almost all police officers. Doubles as a night stick in a flash. No pun intended.
I have 3.

great flashlight, little heavy

I love this light.It can take a beating and still light up what you want to see.

Very durable, lasts for a long time.

The 3-cell is optimum . Longevity, durability, and makes a great self-defense weapon as a last resort! I'm a sucker for the red one, though.

police gadget

Fits well center crown of the forehead!!!! haha

This is a great tool for both on duty and off duty applications. On duty it serves to provide maximum lighting to illuminate dark areas or distract a suspect by shining in their face. The back end serves as a great knocking device on any style door, saving your knuckles from damage and providing a nice loud attention getting thud. Auto glass does not stand up well when the mag is applied correctly allowing access to vehicles and sometimes buildings when justified circumstances present themselves. The light is easily stored in the small of the back for nearly concealed carry, but easily retrieved for use as a striking tool or arm bar assist. Just remember that when striking, the same rules would apply as any other striking tool such as an expandable baton, pr24 or other authorized device.

I've owned one for years and I've never had a problem with it.

Great product as long as you don't sit it to close to the seat and forget about it being on. Great light-but (fire hazard).!!!!

Great flashlight!

I've had 4 and 5 cell mag lights. great product!

Nice if baton is not available.

good light that can take a severe punishment

I love my Maglight

On oldie, but a goodie. Still a mainstay in my opinion.

with the LED bulb this flashlight lasts a long time.

excellent for when you dont want to waste your bullets but still want to get your point across.

Good light but for regular duty use I needed a light that was rechargeable. I bought the Pelican 7060 LED, BEST LIGHT MADE!

GOOD FLASHLIGHT

we got one of these we take campin and it is sooo bright got on e we kep around the house too and it doubles that u can use it to knock the crap out of somebody rather than shootin em if u have the option

Great light, used one for years.

Great for a POV. To bulky and heavy for foot patrol.

I love this light, it has no real faults. It's size and weight easily becomes an asset once you get used to carrying it, which took me about a week.

Great duty lite, an old friend, works in all situations with minimal care.

Good Flashlight

Great rechargable flashlight. I always carry it in my bag. Never had it burn out on a tour

Never have problems with it.

Never had a problem... and it has multiple uses. :)

Hey it keeps up with me!!

best damn flashlight/baton ever made.

"Great flashlight. I have had this one for about 3 years, and have dropped it tons of times. Still has the original bulb.

The Maglite durablility is clearly obvious. With most LEDs you don't get that needed "distance".

always dependable

dependable love it

Very awesome! I love mine. It worked great on all the incidents I've encountered.

One incident occurred while I was parking cars at the local fair. I had a car not paying attention and trying to continue on a straight path. That path had me in it. They continued on, and I was like HEY dude! He continued on so in order to get him to stop before hitting me, I chucked my mag @ his windshield. LOL...He was ticked but the deputy that handled it was like...next time driver you pay attention.

great light, works well for car windows, and bad guys if I am forced to use it.

love it. like it better with a regular bulb in it. Much brighter.

Great light. Really can take the abuse, yet works everytime.

The durability of this is second to none. Mine has been through all kinds of abuse and still works great.

This is a great flashlight, very durable. I have use this in all kind of weather and situations. Also, it makes a great backup weapon.

Never leave the car without it. Day or Night

Great Light

I dont think they are very bright. IF you drop them you can be prepared to put a new bulb in. They are a GREAT way to get a suspect to see things your way, when they decide to get combative

I added the cheapo LED conversion and hated it. The original Xenon bulb was/is much brighter. This is my crowd control flashlight. If I have to get out in a crowd, this is the light that goes with me, and it hasn't failed to impress yet.

I like the ability to go from spot to flood and the brightness that it has. It beats the other flashlight bulbs that are used.

the length is perfect and its extremely bright. perfect for foot chase.

One word: indestructable. Thats why even though I run the gambit of high speed next best thing lights, this is still in my bag. I put an LED conversion in it about a year ago and it's still on the same batteries and is every bit of 80 lumens. For a $30 light you can get at wal-mart you cannot afford to not have one in your car.

Excellent flashlight it sits in a holder on my belt!!

great equipment

I'll be honest. I used to carry the 4 D Cell maglite and 3 d cell, and I used to love it. Then i realized how heavy and uncomfortable it was making my duty belt. There are so many more options out there, and I highly suggest a compact and LIGHT flashlight for for duty use. Guys, if you want a baton, then buy a baton. The maglite is not your answer.

The only god thing about the D-Cell lights is how quick the guy drops after getting hit with it.

I had the regular bulb in the flaslight and changed to the LED and hated it. Yeah the batteries lasted longer but I could not see anything I definitely did not think the LED bulb was bright, I could barely see in tiinted windows now, and forget the distance could not see fifteen feet in front of me. I changed to the regular bulb and now i'm much happier.

THIS IS THE OLD RELIABLE. IT GIVES A BEATING AND KEEPS ON LIGHTING. I CAN SAY THAT MY MAG HAS SAVE MY LIFE ON A FEW OCCASIONS. IT IS VERY DYNAMIC.

Not allowed to carry just in case the urge arises to use as an impact weapon. However, we are issued ASP batons. Great light, though.

I have the rechargeable maglite. I think it is a little better than the streamlite. The only problem i have with maglite is the switch, it always seems to give me problems after about 2 years.

I always carry a battery operated as a backup, can get batteries anytime day or night, bright dependable and heavy.

Very good tool. I have used it for many things. Light, Window Buster, and Head Shampoo. lol!

Good battery life. Fits in possie saddle bag

GREAT LIGHT BEST IN THE BUSINESS. ALSO MAKES A GOOD NIGHT STICK.

Not just a light; its battle ready.

Superb torch / flashlight

Great product. Use it everyday while on duty. Battery life last long and when the flashlight dies down the LED still keeps working. Great product! Highly recommended.

Good Flashlight, definitely a dual purpose light. Batteries last pretty long time. Fairly light. Good to use on a call with substance to it !!

Just bought and love it so far. Has nice weight to it which could be used to pursuade noncompliant individuals.

A well made flashlight that can handle and out shine reg bulb flashlight. They are about as standard to a cop as a 1911a1 is to the troop in the field

Great light nice weight to it.Outstanding battery life. I have had my maglight for just over a year now. And the first set of batteries that I put in the flashlight when i bought it died last week.

Best non rechargeable patrol light Good weight and decent heft in a scrap

Made of very study material. Only problem is not rechargable.

I have used one of these torches for over ten years. They offer good light are easy to carry on your body armour and they never go wrong

I have had this flash light for a few years. I had a problem with being rough on my flashlights sence I used them often when I coon hunt. Most of them broke and the cheaper ones fell apart, but this one has lasted forever and is very reliable. It also would make a good quick backup weapon if needed.

I hope I never have to crack anyone's skull with this bad boy, but I'm confident that if I ever do, the person on the receiving end will not be a happy camper. Oh, and it's really bright too...

I have this for personal use. Camping mostly. Great light.

Well in all reality you can't go wrong with these lights. Batteries last a long time and you can even swap it out with a LED light if you prefer.

Another awesome light source and great improvised weapon/baton. These things are virtually indestructible. This one has a slighly shorter battery life than the four cell counterpart, but lighter and shorter body more than make up for that when you're carrying it all day. I've had one of these things for about six years and it's never let me down.

I have 3 of these that I keep in my car. I carry the stinger on my belt but the maglites come in handy for everything from traffic control to "attitude adjustment"

Old reliable.

Only flashlight brand I will carry

Battery life with LED model is EXCELLENT !!
I have worked for hours with this thing on and it didn't go dead!
Much longer battery life than the old style bulbs...also MUCH brighter than the old incandescent bulbs !!

I have one that i got for CHRISTMASS 3 years ago iv hammerd nails with it and it like new

This is the "tank" of flashlights. When all else fails, this one will be there for you. I can remember when these were considered "top of the line". When I was a young MP, you just had to have one. And, if push came to shove, it made a good baton!

As said, "a tank". LED's give them excellent battery life.

As with the 2 D-cell Mag, this is a good solid beginning. Good body, good switch, good size...but has to have the brightness modified by the owner.

Very bright and easy to use

As far as I'm concerned this is the very best light on the market for emergency personnel.

defenitely packing this maglite in my duffel bag, especially now that the dept. has added the maglite as means for defense against criminals.

I have used this product for seven years and every time that I pushed the button it comes on.

When I work my night shifts this light is my best friend... Consiering I'm not armed It's one of the best things to have when you need to check stuff out... you can see the light really well and at a good distance..

I love it because it can turn night in to day and it's super durable.

Very wellmade flash light; very heavy as well and works great as a strickign object in the event you have it out and dont have time to get to your baton. The LED version is much brighter than stock and the added "bust-a-cap" tailcap window breaker is a must have for LE; you never know when you will need it; better to have it and not need it then need it nad not have it.

One of the most reliable flashlights out there!

Durable. Had one for years.

I use this product.

good i can see in the dark.

you can use this for camping.
