So I ordered a kit from FlamingPyro (Aka Jeff) and I am very pleased with this. It uses the Ultrafire C88 host with Jeff's amazing six tritium hydra head, obviously inspired by DTR's awesome build. This kit was a first for Jeff, as he had not offered these hosts before. It took a while to get the hosts, and then to get the design right, but it was worth every bit of the wait. Jeff had some 5mm yellow tritium vials, and I wanted something that would stand out, and I loved the Hydra head from DTR's build. These things are bright, and you can see the laser head easily at night.
This thing is heavy, solid, and well designed. I got an aluminum case from Dillon Precision Machining, which should keep this pretty well protected through any transport.
Very large laser diode heatsinks
Dual V5 flex drives heatsinked to the huge pill
Battery, tailcap and host
Focus Ring and Heatsink - The machining on this is amazing. The threading is so smooth and tight and the action is incredibly smooth.

Day time blue beam, no smoke
This thing is a beast! It makes my 400mw O-like 532 look anemic!
Jeff was great to work with, and I will definitely be talking with him whenever I pull the trigger on another design. His finishing touches, like the sleeve for the battery, the plug for the aperture, and even charging the battery before shipping just put icing on the cake.
