IMHO the extra size of the 9P is worth it.
Only place the 9P is a bit to big is when out at clubs on the weekends, but it still rides in my jacket pocket. The E2D is clipped IWB.

Once you see the ligth (the 100 lumens that is), you won't go back.
You can get 100 with a P61 bulb in the 6P, but then you use 6 batteries per hour. With the 9P you use 3 batteries for the same time.

I have chosen to go to a P91 bulb, 200 lumens. I'm not going back now. :hypnotize

Kobun - can you fit the 9P in your pants pocket or is it just too big for pocket carry?

I can fit my 9P in my pants just fine. I like my smaller Z2 though. And now I want an even smaller, e2e.

But the 9P is awesome.

The only thing that concerns me about carrying a 9P, is that the high lumens could be a problem indoors. I've lit up the G2 on my AR when near a wall and the backsplash from the light was not comfortable, and I'm sure it wrecked my night vision. For CCW, I assume with a handgun, I think the 60ish lumens of the 2 cell lights should be more than enough. The higher output lights can make sense on a long gun though.

Of course, after you read my sig, you'll realize that you shouldn't listen to me at all.

Joe, the 9P will stick up about 1" from a jeans back pocket, and slip just into the front pocket. In 5.11's they a bit more comfortable as the pockets are bigger.
I prefer a jacket pocket though as I can keep the light in my hand when walking at night. Even if you carry it in your hand, nobody will notice. :smile:
