What flashlight you got on the 45? Need to pick one up, but they are SO pricey these days
Wow, I like everything about that Condor. Well, except for the fact that it isn't mine.
Is the handle walnut?
Man that thing looks familiar.. Was those ever army issued? I think I use to have one in my humvee.. I remember fondling it all the time waiting on the stupid blue froce tracker to load..View attachment 2712109
This thing doesn’t fold. This is my first time using one of these and I’m impressed. Chops really well for what it is. Ontario SPAX is going to be an excellent beater.

The Spax has an NSN so it is likely you saw one in the army.Man that thing looks familiar.. Was those ever army issued? I think I use to have one in my humvee.. I remember fondling it all the time waiting on the stupid blue froce tracker to load..

I thought it looked familiar. I remember having conversations with my driver and gunner about weird cut out in the middle. Pretty sure it fit on the humvee door somewhere. Nonetheless it brings back good memories. Thanks for sharingThis one came from military overstock after the last withdrawal.
