Doc,
Mag makes some quite small flashlights now. I believe they have one
that is keychain sized. That would be an aweful small gun barrel, plus
if it's on your key chain, it goes in the basket when you go through the
metal detector :-)
I really should pick one of those up myself. Hmm, I DO need to go to
Lowes today, any way :-)

Doc and others,
If you have store or like that carries Garrity brand, pick up two
cell AA flashlight. Plastic body, but ends are rubberized, has
rubber tog attached. Reflector is faceted and projects bright spot
far away. So far I'm still on orignal bulb and replaceable with
any standard bulbs anywhere. Switch is push on-push off button type
not those crappy slide type. The Maglite bi-pin bulbs are big
pain, they burn out quickly, hard to find and costly. Yes I had all
types of flashlights including Maglite.
Yes, I did know there's second bi-pin bulb held in place of red
holder in Maglite's end cap hidden under that spring.
Cheers,
Wizard
