Dang, I was finally ready to order my first new light since 2014, but get an AVS mismatch on all 3 of my credit cards :( I don't know if it's because their store is set up wrong for non-US credit cards but my country was listed as one of the countries they accepted orders from.
Anyone want to help me order this? A good chance if you want to test it out.

Just email them and see if they can help👍.
 
I wish they took PayPal. It would make purchases easier and more secure. I also wish this flashlight had an 800 lumen mode! LOL
 
Hmm. Just noticed something w/ the original tailcap that I'd been hanging onto. When it's tightened down, there is a gap between it and the pocket clip's retaining ring. But w/ the Peacekeeper clicky tailcap installed, the gap is gone. So not only does the Peacekeeper tailcap eliminate gap, its color, feel, and texture perfectly match the rest of the light's body etc.! In fact, I just threw away the original tailcap. Yuck, way too flat/matte, dry, and chalky...
 
How does this compare in normal use to an original U2, other than being brighter? I've had a LuxV U2 since they first came out way back when.

The rotary switch is smoother without detents on the U2 in my opinion. As always, I wish the UM2 had a higher high and a lower low. As much as I like having the six power settings, I can see the future with the EDCL2-T which is much brighter on high and has a low that seems to be about step 2 on the UM2. The EDCL2-T is a smaller, brighter light with a lower MSRP that in most cases can do what the UM2 does with a similar TIR beam.

Now, if a UM3 could be made with the EDCL2-T form factor and a selector ring, I'd sure buy it. :thumbsup:

I actually use the variable output on my U2. Something with just a low and a super high like the EDCL2-T wouldn't suit me.

I'll be happy to order for you, please email me choombak at gmail dot com (the site PM is wonky, so best email). :-)
 
Received a UM2 yesterday, lucky # 00666. So far I am very happy with it. Now to order some rechargeable Li's to use in it.
 
Now I'm even closer to getting a 2nd one. I have s/n 00601. I was hoping not to get 00666. If I ended up w/ 00556 or 00762, that'd be sweet!

PS. I use mine quite often. I'm still on the original set of SF CR123s. I've had mine since November 8th last year.
 
Got it today. Serial 555. Just what I was expecting--a brighter U2. Interestingly, it's not going to replace my U2 for indoor work since most of the modes are considerably brighter. The U2 has six steps in the same brightness range the UM2 has maybe three. Better for close-up use. But the UM2 is definitely my new outdoor light so I don't have to carry a UB3T around.

Also, ArmsUnlimited has a good sense of humor. I put "please include a smiley face in the box" on the order instructions field.

For those still on the fence there are currently 25 remaining. I own several and thoroughly enjoy them. Not what I consider EDC but a great light at a tremendous price, fwiw.

I just ordered one, [emoji106][emoji41]

I loved my original but it died, sent it in and Surefire couldn’t repair it so they replaced it with a Fury Intellibeam and I wasn’t happy. Tried it but just wasn’t the same.

Sold the Fury and got a nice used U2 off eBay. Looking forward to this newer one.

Great price too!

Appreciate the heads up!

I see they sit at 20 left as of this writing. This year is different for me, in that I've not spent a cent on any guns/flashlights so far. I allot myself $2k a year towards those 2 categories. I plan to buy a 2nd UM2 with one of my tax refunds that should hit my checkings any day now.

I do like that saying, "One for play and one for display."

PS. I use my UM2 several times a week. Still on the original set of batteries since November 8, 2017. I mix it up between full blast and either the 5 or 15 lumen output for middle of the night tip-toeing.
 
I'm very surprised it took this long to sell these 800 UM2s. They are tremendous lights. I'm glad I was able to purchase several.
