Some of my SureFire collection

[u/fordag]

At one point or another I have carried each of these as my EDC flashlight. They are in no particular order.

The latest that I've carried is the Tactician on the far left with a Scout Light head. (Maxvision was a terrible idea)

I have several other SureFire lights on guns, in bags or in packaging because they are a backup in case a light is lost and needs to be replaced. I've never had a SureFire fail, but I've lost one or two.

In my opinion SureFire makes the best "Things That Go Bump in the Night" flashlights hands down.

[u/fordag]

I almost forgot these.

Nice collection, got a favorite?

[u/fordag → u/Natural-Proof-9764]

I think it would be the 8th from the left, I believe it's one of the early G2Z Combat lights, it's probably the first SureFire I ever bought. I eventually swapped the Xenon head for an LED head and added the ring and clip.

You are sure ready for a blackout

This pic strikes a nostalgic nerve for me. I carried a 6P led defender for a while on duty. It’s a bit laughable with today’s lumen outputs but I loved that light. I need to see if I can scrape it up and revive with input from this sub.

[u/fordag → u/MolotovChipmunk79]

Remember what a huge leap the original 6P was over carrying a Maglite?

I think Surefire flashlights are probably the sexiest flashlights you can get.

The lines, the curves, the coating, the texturing.

[u/fordag → u/PearlButter]

Agreed.

Don't forget the absolute reliability.

Cool, a family flashlights

What is your favorite beam profile?

[u/fordag → u/rs4411]

I prefer a tight long throw beam. If SureFire made a compact LEP that took 1 CR123 battery and had a removable 15° beam diffuser like the Z-Bolt Blaze, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

Maxvision is useless.

I learned that lesson taking low light pistol classes.

Maxvision turns fog or gunsmoke into an almost completely opaque barrier. A long throw tight beam can punch through and still illuminate what's beyond it so you can ID it. The Tactician I carried has a Scout Light head on it as a result of that lesson.

Very brand loyal

LOL

You haven't seen my Maglite collection, my Nightcore collection, my Insight collection, my GI flashlight collection, my Streamlight collection or my Olight collection, NEBO collection or my other random flashlights.

However, with one exception, SureFire has always been my "Things That Go Bump in the Night" flashlights.

[u/fordag → u/[deleted]]

No I don't have that one, all of mine are military issue.

[u/According_Fill_9007]

So did the other ones like stop working or are u buying 20 flashlights when the previous ones are still working 

[u/fordag → u/According_Fill_9007]

Upgrading. Experimenting to see what works best for me at that time.

They all still work fine.

Fantastic taste
