I've always used Surefire and still do. But the Streamlight tactical lights are impressive with their ability for taking abuse.

The Benelli M4 uses a special operating system (for Benelli), the ARGO (Auto Regulating Gas Operated), specifically because the Benelli M1 did not function well with an optic and light and NV/laser mounted to it, due to the ID (Inertia Drive(en)) system requiring a certain amount and speed of...

I recently bought a ExtremeBeam charging kit and wondered if anyone else has used this product? Im somewhat disappointed seeing it instantly blew the bulbs in my Surefire 6P, Pelican M6, and another 3 battery Surefire light. However they works great in my cheap $24 throw away light. going to...

60-rd .223 mags appear to be available through Surefire's website. http://www.surefire.com/tactical-equipment/high-capacity-magazines/mag5-60.html I ordered one and received order confirmation number. Hoping to see shipping notification tomorrow --- not "backordered" message! They also...

I received a Surefire M78 flashlight mount for christmas. The problem is, I was not paying attention when I added to my amazon wish list. I have a couple Surefire tactical 6PX, but the 6PX will not fit the M78. The package of the M78 says it will fit .8 diameter body lights. Can someone...

Surefire made a name for itself by manufacturing high quality products, and at an affordable price. The Surefire 6PX Pro is no exception. Made in USA – Yes Dual output – Yes, 200/15 lumens. Surefire website says there is a new 320 lumen model. Momentary no/off – Yes Lanyard – No Water...

Have yall checked out the link at the top of the forum? From the video description. See SureFire 60- and 100-round High-Capacity Magazines in action. They're put to the test over several days in many live-fire scenarios. Learn more at...

Man oh man, what a weekend. In a previous article we talked about survivalism as an experience and not just a theory. This past weekend was to expand my experience, and to improve upon my theories. Part of my prepping for SHTF / TEOTWAWKI includes going to the Bug Out Location for a couple of...

I have a Surefire E2D Defender, it is in my main Bail out Bag, I have it purely for emergency light. I have a few Maglights with LEDs, but I want a flashlight to keep on me. my limit is 60 dollars. I've had my heart set on a Fenix LD22 flashlight, but I want to make sure I have a high quality...

I bought my self a Fenix TK11 a year or so back and I absolutely love it. Picked up a pack of rechargeable batteries for it. I now have a few Fenix products along with that TK11 which I affectionately call my "adventure light." I carry it everywhere I go. A while back I even used it to smash...

How many Lumens is enough in a flashlight? Or is it MORE than just Lumens? I've just had run of the mill flashlights, low brightness, not very bright for the most part. I bought a Coast PX20 from Lowe's a few days ago. It's rated at 125 Lumens and was around $25 bucks. It kicks my regular mini...

There are lots of cheap, small flashlights out there. Looking for recommendations for a reasonably priced quality small lightweight flashlight with relatively long battery life. It will be for my BOB bag emergency use only. Thanks in advance.

So I'm interested in the Surefire E2D LED I have the FENIX LD20 (two of them) (2 AA) and the LD10 (1 AA) I like the idea of having lights that take an easy to find battery. So would you add another light that will take a different type of battery but would be a better quality flashlight.

What do you think is the optimal lumens for a weapons light? This is supposed to be a survivalist forum, so lets talk post SHTF. You and your family have planted a nice plot of peas, cucumbers, squash, snap beans,,,, and whatever else you want. To stop people from looting the garden, and to...

Anyone else into them, or am I the only one here who gets a kick out of 500+ lumen Surefire 6P's and the like?

After research and shopping for days I have been stuck on these 3 flashlights, I'm not sure which one to get for my bob. Which ever one gets the first ten votes I'll go with. Here they are: 4sevens quark AA tactical r5- 2 aa batteries- $57 Coast model Hp8420- 4 aaa batteries -$49 Fenix E21-...

When I started promoting SureFire lights in 2005 (When they became a sponsor of mine) The challenge I had according to their marketing manager at the time (He has since left and went somewhere else) was getting the public to want to spend average of $100.00 for a flashlight. Now once again I...

I just received my flashlight from China that's supposed to be 250 lumens, which is supposed to be about three times brighter than a full size maglight. Well it's not even as bright as my $2 keychain LED light, and it has a short in it and the light flickers. And I paid $18 to boot. Stay away...

Been thinking about doing this thread for a while and MIL-DOT got me into the mood with his recent flashlight thread. So, I'm a flashaholic. No it's not what you think. A flashaholic is someone who collects, builds, modifies or simply appreciates a good flashlight. Basically we're portable...

I have not seen one thread on flashlights since ive been a member. I know about the search feature, just thought it would be a good idea. Please respond with what and why.
