    New SureFire P2X Fury with Intellibeam

    I was browsing around the SureFire website and noticed they had added the new P2X Fury with Intellibeam (Link). I saw a couple of these at SHOT Show and they are pretty slick. Basically there are able to measure the amount of light being reflected back and can drop output accordingly to reduce...

    Testing SureFire 123A lithium batteries - 12 years on the shelf

    Recently I was fortunate enough to get my hands on two boxes of SureFire 123A batteries (manufactured in February 2003) for purposes of testing. It turns out someone at SureFire ran across them while reorganizing a section of their warehouse and thought I would be interested in testing them...

    Fogo "Smart" Flashlight

    I've noticed some "smart" flashlights from various manufacturers that incorporate LCD displays, motion sensing, and other gee-whiz features but I ran across one this morning that pretty much takes the cake. This is not an endorsement, I have no first-hand experience with this light and know...

    SureFire UDR Dominator - Review, Photos and discussion

    Well after several years of watching, waiting, and wishing it appears that the SureFire Dominator has finally become a reality outside of trade shows! It will probably be another week or so before I can wrap up a full review with runtime information, beamshots, etc. but, for the time being, I...

    SureFire machining and assembly facilities visit

    Last month I had the privilege of visiting SureFire during a trip to California and receiving a tour of their facilities. Since that time I have been struggling to write a recap of the visit due to 1) other obligations (mainly work) and 2) difficulty in putting the experience into words. As...

    SureFire M6LT-B Guardian 1200 lumen searchlight - Mini Review and discussion

    At SHOT Show SureFire announced upcoming changes to several of their high-output lights and it looks like the M6LT Guardian is the first to receive a makeover. I was fortunate to receive a review sample from SureFire which I have been running through the paces for the past couple of weeks...

    Review: New SureFire Y300 Ultra - beamshots, discussion, photos

    UPS came through and a review sample of the new SureFire Y300 arrived today. I literally just took it out of the box and haven't started reviewing it yet but thought I would share a few photos of this new light. I will update this post with additional information as the review progresses but...

    Raven Concealment Systems pocket clip for 1" lights

    I had considered getting one of the Raven Concealment Systems pocket clips designed for the SureFire P and G series lights but never got around to buying one. However, after reading Kestrel's great write-up on a Low light / Night fire class I decided to try one out. The clip arrived Friday and...

    Flashlight Vigil in Camden, NJ - Von Nieda Park

    Kudos to these children (and others) for their efforts to improve their neighborhood. (Link to full article) It appears that a group of local students, with support from the church, has taken it upon themselves to improve a local park once described as "The Nation's Most Depressing Park."...

    New SureFire products for 2014

    With SHOT Show right around the corner it's almost time for us to see the introduction of the latest SureFire products. As we already know, all of these products won't make it onto retailers shelves but it's always interesting to see what the future might hold. Today SureFire published a...

    Updated 8/21/2013 to include EB2T-TN Thanks to spyrish's earlier thread I was able to order and receive one of the new EB2 Backups last week. Now that I have had a few days to play around with it, I have completed my initial review of this new light. The full review can be found on...

    New SureFire E2L-A and E2LAA-A - Runtimes, Beamshots, and Impressions

    My favorite visitor - the UPS Delivery Man - left a couple of things yesterday . . . Initial impressions are very good. The E2L-A provides a noticeable bump in performance over the previous E2L and the new E1L-A (as it should) and my one sample has a much whiter beam than my E1L-A. For...

    SureFire Product History Thread

    Hello everyone. I'm working on documenting the history and evolution of SureFire handheld flashlights since their inception. Unfortunately, searching through old catalogs, advertisements, and my own (limited) knowledge isn't enough to complete this project but I know there is enough knowledge...

    Surefire SW02 clones on eBay - A public service announcement

    I don't know if it's OK to post this here but I would feel guilty if I didn't at least try to pass it along. Mods I apologize if this is inappropriate or in the wrong place. There have been a LOT of Surefire SW02 clones showing up on eBay lately. They are being sold both individually and...

    New Surefire EB1 Clicky (Beamshots added) - Review and runtime results

    Surefire EB1 Backup Review The new EB1 from Surefire has been a hot topic for debate as its release has neared. Admittedly, when I saw the first runtime chart graciously shared by Robin24k I was disappointed in the apparent lack of (fairly) level output I was accustomed to with the venerable...

    Mac's EDC pocket clip question

    Hi all, I've been admiring Mac's EDC lights for a while now and I'm getting closer and closer to jumping on the bandwagon. I do have a newbie question about the pocket clips. Do these lights come standard with a pocket clip? I have seen the titanium option on the order pages but I don't...

    Surefire Desert Tan

    Has Surefire ever sold any desert tan colored handheld lights aside from the G series lights? I think the Scout Light would be a good looking light if it were available in a handheld version, but short of grinding off the mounting hardware, I can't think of any way to get one. Anyone have any...
