The Surefire G2 Nitrolon high-output flashlight
This last weekend, I bought a Surefire G2 Nitrolon high-output flashlight at a Reno gun show, about $35. It's a very good alternative to the more expensive, earlier metal version, the Surefire 6P. For those of my friends who are getting into defensive pistolcraft for the first time - and who have budget constraints - I recommend this lightweight version.

I especially like the yellow body color for survival kits.
A real bargain and they seem to hold up as well as the more expensive Surefire lights.

Thanks for the review. It seems that SureFire is offering more light for their money these days. In fact, I'm on their e-mail list and just received an e-mail explaining all of the new improvements...amazingly, they're not raising prices on new and improved lights. Do you agree? (if you'd like me to forward the e-mails to you, please let me know)
Posted by: The Surefire G2... on September 7, 2007 04:55 PMFor $35 thats thats not bad, but I'm sure I came across an LED version of it once. I assume it would outperform the incandescent version you have but it may cost more...
