AG1212 Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Hey y'all, I'm looking for a flashlight for my oh so lovely TM G17 and have narrowed it down to the King Arms and Element M3. I know both are good, but which one is better? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
BaggyPants Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 Can't comment on the Element, but I just got the King Arms yesterday. Fits the TM G17 with Guarder frame nicely. Well made. Nice and bright. Two Panasonic CR123A batteries included. I did have to shave the inside of the plastic switches with a scalpel and file to get it to stay in the permanent "ON" mode, because the frame stopped it going that extra millimeter. I do like Element stuff though. Bought the M600C Scout Light clone a few weeks ago and was very impressed with it. Link to post Share on other sites

Bought the M600C Scout Light clone a few weeks ago and was very impressed with it. Oooh damn that is sexy stuff, thanks for the pics. Sadly it looks like it will be a VERY tight fit with my holster, as if the pistol itself isn't a tight fit. Looks like I'll finally have a reason to use my dremel Link to post Share on other sites
Pkekyo-Nor Posted August 3, 2011 Report Share Posted August 3, 2011 The KA has a very good bulb, reflector and body, but the switch is absolute *suitcase* - I've broken four of them. The Element on the other hand also has a bright bulb, but reflector and body drag it down. For the short time I had one the switch by far outlived the average lifespan of the KA switches though.
