Alistair... did you see some of them in your own hands ?
What do you feel / think ? I mean... your impressions ?

(I´m just curious about it... I mean no offense, or bother you...)
I won't take offence by your misspelling of my name (it's Alastair, the Scottish spelling rather than the weaker English form) :poke:

Al :)

I have a Scottish friend who spells it Alasdhair. :devil:

But to be fair the spelling of this fine name is a bit of a minefield, just check out wikipedia on it. Far too many for inclusion here.

Back on topic, I must say if it's OK for PK then it's OK by me.


I'm off to scour Ebay for a greenie one eh? Eh?





Be lucky...

Yes there are a variety of variations. Of course my spelling is the right one. Not that I'm at all biased. :whistle:

I know one thing,

And that is that factories over there tend to be corrupt and sell to just about anybody.Not just to the owner of the product.

But i hope this is not the case here and that these are genuine lights.


I feel a bit stupid now.


I guess time will tell.:candle:

Re: Surefire (?) Icon Flashlight

Surefire going with China? I'm stunned by this. I don't know what to think.... I'm a little dissappointed in Surefire for doing this. Why China? Why not South Korea or Taiwan? I have to think about this.... for a while.
uh oh, not those (capitalist) communists!

i am somewhat interested in this though, since i really prefer flashlights that take common batteries that i can buy as NIMH rechargeables. surefire is an extremely popular brand but ive stayed away from them due to the fact that i dont want to use CR123s

that being said, i dont really like the look of these lights very much

Re: Icon Flashlight by Surefire

Perhaps they will keep what they need in the US for the contract work and move the rest to China as mentioned.....there is nothing sacred in "made at home" anymore. Just a side note; from my own experience, Chinese made Spyderco's (Byrd) are actually better made than the US made models.

That's utter bullcrap.
