To anyone who might be looking for these, you may be disappointed:
"As to the BQ Mini Mag-Lite "enhancers," like a nitwit, I once bought one. What Jeff Cooper said of the Charter Arms Bulldog .44 SPL applies: 'A brilliant concept, egregiously consummated.'
"The thing kills the balance & at least for me induces fatigue quickly. The threads were
imprecisely machined & don't mate well to the base of the flashlight--either that or brass
& aluminum are incompatible in the way that older model semiauto pistols would 'gall'
when using different grades of steel for the slide & frame, or when using a steel slide &
aluminum frame. In addition to this, BQ had a small rubber gasket on the thing that
virtually made it impossible to install, and once it WAS installed, was largely shredded in the process.
"Maybe someone with pull (Don, are you reading this?) can get Jim Piorek to make these--PROPERLY--out of titanium."

I dunno about that...
Rick just recently sent me one and i put it on a black AA Maglight; my Scorpion is my main little light, and the AA will only be used for a big whack attack and will stay in my bag....the ergonomics don't bother me. The thing is basically a sap, it matches up just fine with the base of the Maglite- no problems with threading it, it's on there good and tight. A decent shot to the radius or clavicle (or head if need be) wouldn't seem like much, but it's like getting hit with a brass padlock (i know, i numbed the outside of my leg with it), and very easy to swing some momentum into a small strike. The cool part is that they're machined so you can put the extra bulb and then the usual spring in the end of these....very cute.
