I wish surefire - or anyone - made more lights based on nitrolon.
My only device is Surefire G2x Pro. I like it for 2 reasons. First, it's noticeably lighter than anything else I have metal-based.
Second, it seems to grip better. Just sticks to your hand.
Actually there is a third reason. In the winter, it does not get cold.
The only downside I can think of, the plastic threads aren't as smooth as the metal lights. I use the G2x Pro in the twisty mode. I don't ever use the clicky as intended. And yes it works that way. Just like Surefire 6P.
I wish surefire expanded the entire line to encompass nitrolon. And made Surefire G3x, G4x and ideally with 18650 support.
Actually there is yet a 4th reason for nitrolon. Maybe the most important one. it's cheaper. G2x Pro, you can pick up for a fraction of the cost of Fury. It's just cheaper to make and the savings are passed on to the consumer. You can get a used model for around 30-40 bucks any day every day. That's not expensive. That's maglite territory.
I usually EDC the G2x Pro but I wouldn't mind having the nitrolon version of Fury or such. Including its 3 cell configuration. It's tough as anything, maybe even tougher than metal in the sense that when you drop it, it does not deform as badly.
