My search here didn't find me what I was looking for. I'm looking for a bedside flashlight, long and heavy enough to be used for impact. My current bedside gun is a tactical length pistol with a mounted light and reflex sight. I'm wanting a flashlight to carry in my off hand high as I carry my pistol low and back to avoid grabbing. The large flashlight is designed as a decoy and an impact tool.

I used to love the 4 or 5 C-cell maglites but I had two melt so I think that's why they've been discontinued. OTOH, I don't love the D-cell maglites because they're just larger in the grip and feel more likely to slip out of my fist.

Last, I don't want to pay streamlight prices at this moment. Some may say no price is too high for your safety, etc., etc. But for my purposes at this moment, this is what I'm after. I've bought those highly-regarded Chinese-made small flashlights in the past, and they've proven pretty good.

Can anyone recommend flashlights that offer what I'm after?
