Compact safety flare system?

[squid-freshprints]

I am looking for a weatherproof compact flare system. The 12 gauge pistol Orion deal is silly huge. My Grandfather had a metal zip/pipe gun like system that fit in a shirt pocket for U.S.A.F. pilots in WW2. I am hoping something like this exist for civilians?

Think you’re looking for the Navy pen flare kit. You may be able to find them at military surplus dealers or gun shows. The whole “system” is very compact, even with reloads. Glare itself is just a brief flash like a shooting star but it can definitely get someone’s attention

They make them. Their range is pretty Limited. 100 meters or so. 6-7 fares. IMO, I would prefer a decent strobe for the weight. you also can not fly with them.

Thank you for the responses, the CTS. version looks very close to what I was talking about. I definitely want an aerial signal, it is mostly for when people buzz ricochets overhead and such. In the past i have just thrown my headlamp barrel in the air. ( only somewhat effective.)
