They can't be that readily available cause I could only find 1 auction for them on eBay and he's in the UK!

LOL...

If a maglite is illegal because it can be considered a weapon, then so are tire irons, baseball bats, nail guns, etc, etc... 😛

RossMAN, is that you? 😛

(ps, middle link doesent work).

Nice prices though! I'm almost tempted to pick one up.

But then again, 8 D batteries cost like 8$ retail, and it doesent seem as if you can find 2 packs anymore. It's a conspiracy!

I dont think it would work well in that role, with the finish on that thing. Sure, there is "texture", and your woman might like that... but then there is sandpaper, and I presume your woman isnt going to like that. Fausto, on the other hand... well, I've heard rumors 😉
 
I wanted one a couple years ago but I made the mistake of buying it with mrsskoorb by me and she only let me get a 4d 🙁

You know whats funny? My E2e that sits in my pocket day in day out makes more lumens than your huge Maglite. And the beam is always in focus. Quit compensating Skoorb, MrsSkoorb already knows anyway 😛

And then get a real light.
 
if you're buying a 6D cell maglite it's not for it's lighting potential. it's for the beat down potential. thought you guys would know this. no one cares how bright your superwhateverflashlight is, if it's not a 6D you're not nearly intimidating enough.

Or you could just carry a good flashlight + baseball bat/gun/knife/pepper spray/taser, and be better armed.

And quite frankly, an M6 is a weapon that you can use without ever putting a mark on the guy. In a well lit room, my 60 lumen E2e is enough to force you to look away. In a darkened area, a 250-500 lumen M6 will blind and disorient you, unless you happen to be wearing welding googles.
