Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I ordered a M1 with a 10A buck driver, SFT42R led in 6500k and short tube.
  • Try the convoy m1 with sft42r emitter and request a forward switch in the order notes. It’s very similar in size and ui to the g2x pro. It’s my favorite tactical light now
  • In terms of specific lights, this is a Convoy M1 with SFT42R emitter. The M2 and M21B with the same emitter will be very similar. These are all lights that will fit in a pocket, and aren't particularly expensive.
  • The larger reflector like in the M1 will have orders of magnitude more throw (like, over 180k candela) but aren’t nearly as pocketable.
  • My Convoy M1 is getting heavy use (getting my money's worth I suppose) and frequently taking battery swaps.

Cons

  • The 18650 version of M21B is the M1. It uses the same reflector but it’s 18650.
  • I bought both the 620nm and 660nm emitters in Convoy M1 hosts and yeah, the difference is significant.
  • Convoy m1 , m21b 8 amp driver, c8, m21a
  • Bought a few M1’s a few decades (2000) ago (longer body, green tails cap cover) and they were okay, but the drivers let go after a few months. ... Recently looked again and was happily surprised to find they offered some nice options and...

Both Convoy M1. Not for brightness comparison, just for focus. Left 25r, right 42r. Both focussed very good.

I have both a Convoy M1 and an Emisar D4SV2 dual channel with the DR and they work well, but it's just a dim emitter.
