Mark,
Congratulations on your new position. I own the Tactical Defense Institute and do knife designs for Ka-Bar Knives. If SHOT is set up the same way this year the Ka-Bar booth should be right across from Surefire’s. My GM here at TDI is a Surefire Dealer. We do a lot of low light training. The last several years we have been very disappointed in the switches Surefire has chose to put on their “Tactical Lights”. I would like to take a minute and speak with you in person at SHOT if that is possible.
