Very dependable in every situation you may encounter .

Durable and handy.

Now that they hve one thats metal and won't go to peices if you have to defend yourself with much better!!!!!

I've had one going on 10 years now well worth the money... all the money i've saved in batteries and they take a beating...

Great general use patrol flashlight. We mount chargers in all our cars, so these are always ready to go. Ijust wish the bulbs wouldn't die if you accidently drop the light.

Tough and reliable, much better than the D-cell lights. Adjustable beam good if you like that. I have had mine for a few years the head turns on it's own and I have to continually readjust the beam to where I had it. I have changed to the SL-20 and like much better

Reliable and well balanced. Good as a back-up weapon.

The best flashlight I've used, ever. My dept. issued the Streamlight Stinger, and I only use that as a back-up light. I purchased this light and haven't been disappointed. There's nothing better than walking up on a vehicle and shining this baby in the eyes of the suspect. You get a definate advantage when they have to squint and put their hands up to block the light. The only problem I've had with this light is the halogen bulbs seem to burn out much quicker than standard maglite bulbs--but I always keep a few spares around just in case.

Love this flashlight. I've had mine for years and use it daily working at night.

THIS IS THE REAL DEAL,NO WORRY TO KEEP CHANGING BATTERIES,VERY DURABLE CONSTRUCTION,IT MAY BE USED IN MANY MORE WAYS THAN JUST ILLUMINATION.

Bright, Dependable and illuminating

I love these flashlights. They hang in there. Hey you can even hit something with them..... tires, doors, etc, and they still keep working.

I got mine as a Christmas gift from my wife a year ago. My department's fleet services mounted my charger in my car. It's easy to reach and always ready to go. Sending 40,000 candlepower into a suspect eyes gives you and advantage. The bulbs burn out a little quicker than I like, but that may be attributed to being dropped. I have found that during foot pursuits, you may be lighting the way for your suspect. The light is very reliable and tough. If mine ever wears out, I won't hesitate to by another. I work with guys that have had theirs for 15-20 years.

The maglite is an icon in American Law Enforcment. We have Maglite rechargables mounted in most all of our patrol vehicles. They are heavy but are virtually troulbe free other than bulbs and battery sticks wearing out.

I love it. I mounted this light in my patrol car and use it daily on night shift. This light serves double duty.....flashlight and weapon/baton!!!!

I have had one since 1996...I still carry it on duty..Only had to change out the battery stick and bulbs a few times over the years...

These are great flashlights. I wish we used them instead of the streamlight, which after a few weeks of work will stop working.

Alsome flash light very bright very durable, I use at work and home. I tell friends to get this light.

EXCELLENT LAST FOREVER IF TAKEN CARE OF

Tough, reliable, been dropped, submerged, driven over, and still kicking. I've used numerous lights over the past twenty years of service and this is by far the best yet. Wouldn't work a night shift without it.

carry this in my patrol car.. works well for searching for fleeing subjects

Bright, Dependable and illuminating! Quality product.

very good light

Awesome light...never go out without her.

This is an awesome flashlight!! I have had mine for 11 years and haven't even had to replace the battery yet. I have only replaced the bulb twice and only because I dropped the flashlight. I would highly recommend this product.

A big improvement on the old D cell torches.

great back up weapon, durable and reliable.

13 years and still awesome..........great substitute for the baton.......

I have used the rechargeable Maglite for the past 20 years. I just had the switch break on it and maglite fixed it for free, no receipt required!

Great product, used always when on patrol. Maglight stands behind the product.

Great Light...I have carried one for over 10 years...

Great dependable light.

I absouletly love this light. Everyone gives me crap because I have not "converted" over to a stinger or something like it, but I love knowing that I can light up any dark space with it, and if necessary, use it as a defensive weapon. I have found over the years that having the vehicle mount/charger for it really helps to keep the light useful. Until they come out with a smaller light that can produce the lumens that this one can (with an adjustable flood/spot beam too) I think it's a keeper!

OLD SCHOOL BABY!!!!!, I used this light forever, never let me down, will use it til Im gone,

Old reliable backup.

Love this light. I have a high intesity bulb in it and its very bright. Very durable. I can't tell you how many times it has drop and still works great. I highly recommend it.

I have had one of these since I started several years ago. It has never let me down. Everyone should have one!

Great light! Built to last.

VERY BRIGHT AND DURABLE....I HAVE BEAT THE HELL OUT OF THIS LIGHT AND IT KEEPS ON GOING. NO OTHER FULL SIZE DUTY LIGHT CAN BEAT IT

Have had mine for 14 years and only replaced the battery stick once. Been thru a lot of bulbs due to rough use which is to be expected but hands down the best flashlight on the market. Plan on having it thru retirement. Have had rookies on calls with me searching buildings and they are amazed how much brighter it is than there plastic ones. If the sun is down and I leave the cruiser the light goes with me.

They issued several of thes for conducting nighttime security & counting of inmates. With the Halogen upgrade, these light up tyhe world. Now if I can get someone to buy me a personal one for my birthday............

GREAT PRODUCT I've had mine for over 15 yrs and its seen some times and use along with a LAMP upgrade or 3 along with another Battery.

I've carried one of these since the beginning and after 5 years it's still going strong. Maglite makes a good product. Beware of the weakness they have between the light head and the battery involving the charging rings. Do your best not to take your flashlight apart. Once it comes apart, it's never the same. You will experience issues with reliability. The switches wear out as anything does over time. Overall I would buy one again. It's a bright, fairly reliable flashlight at a reasonable price.

I have had the same one since I recieved it as a gift from a fellow officer. to commemorate an event in our careers 18 years ago. In those 18 years, I have replaced numerous bulbs, sent it back to have the switch replaced and am on my 4th battery stick. The bulbs are ususally my fault. They seem to be pretty good, but like any bulb, if if is hot/warm from use and you drop the light, they are toast. The switch was prolly my fault too. We used to have old metal mesh (1" squares or so) in the cruisers that were just perfect for sliding the light in. I am sure it was hard on the switches and assuredly caused you to lose the rubber covers.

I also have a Stinger XP, bought it for size and convenience, used it for about a month and now it has been relegated to home repair duties. I like the heft of the Maglight. It is a light, can be used as a voluntary compliance tool (come-along holds) or if everything is on the line, and you have no other choice, you can slap the piss out of somebody with it.

Mine is pretty beat up from 18 years of faithful service. I expect to carry it 16 more.

This is another tool that is required carrying. I have been for 16 years.

I always get out on every call day or night with this bad boy in my hand

I've had mine for over 11 years. I've had to replace the battery twice and the bulb once. For the abuse this unit has taken, I'd have to consider this probably the best flashlight for the price. I've owned probably 6+ other flashlights in my career. After trying all of the other gimmicks, I'm always driven back to the Mag. This light can take abuse and keeps working well. Just wish they'd make an LED bulb for it.

Excellent flashlight and defensive tool capable of taking tremendous abuse. Two battery changes in 20 years!

Great Product, Saves on expense costs, great defense weapon, brighter than some spotlights.

I have used this product since 1993. I work traffic operations and use this flashlight as my primary source. I utilized two other lights to supplement different tasks. I find that it's light output is very good and works well in lighting up the interior of vehicles and blinding the vehicle's operator. The weight isn't hindering in my operations and is effective in defense capibilities. Yes, I said it. In defending your life you have to use any means necessary to survive. The charger has mounts for vehicle and home. I recommend installing a variety of flashlight chargers in your patrol cars. Of course, the same place for each charger for muscle memory. I highly recommend this MagCharger.

Like it alot, on my second one now, don't think I will buy any another.
