I think so. I especially love the maglite heads that turn a great nightstick into an equally good flashlight. It’s weird. The heads are so efficient that it is brighter AND the batteries last longer. It’s the proverbial free lunch.
I have also swapped out Surefire heads. Same basic story. Buy with confidence.

A Malkoff light has been my daily carry for years. I am very satisfied with it and would not hesitate to purchase another.

I retrofitted a Surefire P6 to make it useful again. Could have played roulette with different Chinese bulbs but did a little research and figured I'd save myself the aggravation and spend a little bit more for a guaranteed win. Vey happy with the result. The handwritten thank you on the receipt was a nice touch.

Yes. I have a spreadsheet for my Malkoff heads, bodies and drop-ins. I have tried more expensive and more “modern” UI stuff and kept going back to Malkoff. I have Surefire body legos as well as malkoff body legoes. I can go from a run for days single cell emergency light to hundreds of yards away for hours. Usually carry some assembled parts and drop-ins from group buys as my “CCW only use for emergency” light and rotate some of the cheap aaa and aa or 123 twisty lights as a user for navigation and dropped items finding.
Love Malkoff.
ETA- but all my grab and go and around the house (rural acreage) lights are malkoff….

I did the same as berto. I’ve been very pleased with the purchase.
I wanted a dual AA battery flashlight as my daily “go to” non-tactical flashlight and bought from Malkoff. I’ve been very pleased with that purchase as well.

I had no idea they even existed until I was ROing a match in their home town. I won one as a door prize. Someone ask what I won and I said a "cheap Chinese flashlight". The guy said why don't you ask the guy sitting next to you, he built that flashlight. Embarassment and enlightenment followed.
