and did you notice, a POLYcarbonate window!??? Plastic?????? On a Surefire?
Thats funny, the sales guys stop talking and move away. Like its secret squirrel espionage stuff.
I have to say its great that Surefire is definitley listening and watching the industry . This shows they want to have some cutting edge lights in the output department and stay current. But that is one ugly light. I really dont like the direction SF is going with the physical appearance of their civilian lights. They re definitley going for the toned down non threatening streamlined look. Just not my taste

I guess the tradeoff for getting the prices down is to use cheaper materials.
From what I see, they did not really keep this quiet because it wasn't in their original product design plans. It seems to me that they are merely putting this out in a hurry by exploiting the success of the 6PX Pro and re-engineering the head a little to fit an XM-L in there. How else could they achieve 500 lumens without overdriving the LED if it is not XM-L they are using? It seems more like it was put together based on some slight amendments in the blueprint of the 6PX Pro. I hope I am wrong though, but I think Surefire is under a lot of pressure from competing manufacturers putting out lights in the hundreds of lumen range. It's a do or die situation they are in.Interesting that Surefire managed to keep this one pretty quiet. I'm looking forward to reviews....
Will it be part of the low end line like the 6PX/G2X?
SureFire's Fury is a more powerful, slightly larger version of our best-selling dual-output 6PX Pro.
Pre-order today! Expected mid-late December!
Get one before the price goes up, ala KX4's, G2X, 6PX...

Not me, I'm still dreaming of owning a M6. It's a classic and it's super-cool. The Fury is just another 2xCR123 Tactical light.WOW!
This kind of makes you forget about the M6!
The description says it is a reflector.Interesting. As Helmut mentioned it does look like a 6PX with a larger head with probably an XM-L stuck inside.
I think this is a positive development, SF has stuck the XR-E behind a TIR lens on so many of their model but somehow I have doubts this flashlight uses TIR.
Which could be good or bad. I know TIR is pretty polarizing on CPF.
