    Interest is super low in this. I thought CT was more popular.

      @Brut Faberge Theres already plenty of WMLs out there that fit the bill. This lacks their instinctive activation, it doesn't have the output of other lights, comes with no laser like the Laserguard Pro, and the only holsters they'll offer is crossbreed w/ a 3 month lead time, and bladetech which sucks for retention.

    I'm interested. But why didn't they flip it. Put the light on top and battery compartment under? Seems to me the light has a better chance of getting beat up. Also it might help to shrink the unit. Meh.
