    * Malkoff Bodyguard with 519a 4500K and an McR reflector instead of an optic 
    * Foursevens Mini Mk. III with an FFL351A swapped in

    Beamshots were kinda tough here. The Malkoff obviously doesn’t go very low and both lights use PWM that readily shows up on camera.  I edited these to make them not look terrible, but it’s still fairly representative I think (didn’t change the white balance).  

    This Bodyguard from Kōsen is amazing; easily one of the cleanest beams on any light I own.  It’s maybe not the most practical EDC, but I’m enjoying it a lot despite my usual preference for slimmer lights. 

    The Foursevens is an old one that I hadn’t even picked up in a long time, but it looks pretty nice with the FFL emitter. Twisty plus the weird worst-of-both-worlds hybrid memory means it won’t see much action, but it’s still got some usefulness in it. Can’t deny that it’s impressively tiny.  

    Anyway, just a fun little comp between my only two 16340 lights (they’re almost like brothers!). I thought I might call the little one Danny, but I haven’t figured out the right name for the Malkoff yet. Whenever I do, though…. *I’ll be back*.
