Stays in my Tag Bag with my Berretta 85F .380 clipped to the holster... Bright as all get out
Inside the house we have various junk and a dependable 3 "D cell" Maglite that I have had for longer then my wife hehehe
I bet considering where you live that that flashlight is one of the best "toys/tools" you ever invested in !! I think my new flashlight needs a brother to keep him company lol!! Hmmmm....
