One of my distributors has them, but they have smith & wesson M&p15 on the mag. When the price is right I could care less if they all work the same way.

I would say that the PMags with the S&W mark on them are the same, S&W probably just puts their mark on them. The PMag is what comes with the S&W that I've got coming.

Its just branding, like how you will find Troy front BUIS with other's names on them.

RE the Primary Arms light, it's received some good reviews for value. Might be a little heavier than some of the other options but evidently gives off a bunch of light. (rated 380 lumens)

Same as my Walther PPQ. it's from Walther in Germany but on the side Smith and Wesson has their name branded on it since they sell it.

Pretty lame if you ask me. i didnt buy it for S&W i bought it for the Walther name.

In 1999, Smith & Wesson and Walther announced a joint plan to distribute Walther branded firearms and accessories in the United States. Today, Walther continues its long tradition of technical expertise in the design and production of firearms that meet the highest standards of quality with unsurpassed fit, finish, reliability, and durability.

I have a Quark Mini123 as a keychain light. It's great. It has most of the modes (including strobe, SOS, and beacon modes) available on the big boys and is pretty bright but it's small enough to fit in your pocket. Never be without a flashlight again!

I also have a Maelstrom X7 which has much higher output. It *will* leave you seeing spots for hours (AMHIK!) if you look into it on anything above the moonlight mode (great for reading a map or in bed, etc.). It's also available with a pressure switch for mounting on a rifle (built on a standard 1" tube, so it should work with most mounts out there). I haven't tested it personally, but reliable reports indicate it is well-enough built to withstand the recoil of a 7.62x51, so use on a 5.56x45 rifle would be a cakewalk.

Really, though, I think a lot of it comes down to personal preference as to what you want. Any of the lights on the 4 sevens website will be well-made (whether it's a 4 sevens brand or one of the others they sell). I have also heard really good things about MTE flashlights.

thanks york.

I actually do have a nebo light I carry, but that I might get something a bit brighter. Its like an $8 light I got off amazon.com. it has the sharp edges around the light and a belt or pocket clip. Its bout the size of the average palm.
