Hi all!
So after over 15 years with my trusty Surefire P6, I ummmm.... "misplaced" it. :sigh: I had modified it with a Nailbender drop-in module and Mcclicky. I loved it dearly. Anywho...
I'm not overly excited by the current Surefire lineup. The G2X feels a little "meh". The 6PX Pro might be ok, but I'm curious if I should consider something else from brands I'm less familiar with, since I haven't needed to shop for a flashlight in a while. Obviously, I want a small to mid-sized flashlight, with a high and low beam, indestructible, high CRI, LED.
I want a light with a low (~10-15 lumen) output for reading a book, or general close work, and a high output mode (we'll say 400- 900 lumens) to illuminate objects further away - up to 100 yards or more for the work I do. I want one I can set down and it doesn't roll. I like the lockout tailcap to prevent it turning on in my bag. I like the switch on the tailcap. I would prefer a 1650 battery style. I prefer a soft holster (I had the OLD nylon Surefire holster with velcro security strap).
So do I get:
A. 6PX Pro
B. Find an old 6P and customize it back to what I had.
C. Consider something else? ThruNite or something? Open to ideas...
