Now tell me this--how does a Japanese flashlight shop find out stuff before members of CPF???!!

Japan is one of SureFire's best markets.

Yes but this is CPF! We are supposed to be intimately connected--have the inside contacts, you know, get intel first! Someone is sand bagging.
There was a time when a participating member was a higher up at SureFire. Paul Kim (known as PK) gave the inside scoop when he was with SureFire. He left his role of VP and started his own gig a few years back. He stopped hanging out here a few years ago too.
In the meantime the interest in the SureFire brand aint what it used to be so their aren't that many scouring the www looking for the inside scoop there.
Combine that with all those fakes out there I'd wonder if the one shown is even a legit item. That same fellow PK once told me he saw copies of his PL-2 for sale on the web before he'd even released it.

if this is legit, this might be one of those cases when I import a US market product from Japan to the EU because that's the simplest way
( looking at you Snap-On... )
Those gun metal 6P's made back when were made especially for the Japanese market.
Those are the three colors announced at shot show. I'm looking forward for the tan.
I call shenanigans.
Not buying it. (Figuratively speaking.)
I'll buy it when a trusted online dealer we all know, stocks them.

@bykfixer Did Surefire's popularity drop when they stopped making the LEGO lights? I assume that had a lot to do with it.
👆 what he said.
The SureFire brand still carries some weight but for the hobbyist, the lego aspect was a big attraction.

This became vaporware (again)?

I really would like to have at least one SureFire EDC1-DFT and one EDC2-DFT. Maybe even two of each type depending on the HA and beige / brown color.
I really like the Surefire lights and I love my Peacekeeper that is 8650 capable. The Fury DFT I never bought because of the problem with fried LED which seems not really to be fixed.
But actually my guess is that this two lights will be the same like it was with the UB2 and UA2 lights.
Or in 3 or 4 years a single shop will offer EDC1-DFT and EDC2-DFT lights like it was with the Surefire UM2, which is a great light, even today.
