    Gene, any plans to grace us with some new heads or new products in 2023? I heard a rumor you had something in the works with Arisaka for a new 18650 head, figured I'd come on here and ask the man himself!

    Dear Surefire, please bring back HA III Nat, knurling, and flats

    @Carrot, thank you for providing the answer this thread needs and the proper letter to Surefire! My very first "Wow that's bright!" light was a Surefire. I would love to buy a Surefire product again that wows me.

    Dear Surefire, please bring back HA III Nat, knurling, and flats

    I guess I should have specified. I would like them to make their lights all rechargeable, or if not the majority rechargeable. It doesn't have to necessarily be 18650s. Having to burn through CR123s with regular use is expensive.

    Dear Surefire, please bring back HA III Nat, knurling, and flats

    How about Surefire just makes all of their products compatible with 18650s? I have looked I want to say the past 3 years at Surefire's products and have only been more and more disappointed. I'd always look at Surefire first when I wanted a new duty light. But I would only come to find that...

    Does Surefire quality seem to be going up lately?

    Long time lurker here, I'd say their quality is top notch and it seems like they are *finally* and *almost* competing lumens wise with other brands. But I'd say their decision making has been... off though. They discontinued the R1 Lawman and the Peacekeeper. Why? LE and Military are their...

    *NEW* Olight M3X-UT Javelot

    I'm confused on how long it stays in high mode with the extender? 1200 lumens for only five minutes before it drops down?

    For the price Whats a good knife for under $50?

    Re: for the price I like my CRKT Drifter as an EDC. It's not that sharpest but it's cheap and reliable. Unlike flashlights I lose my edc knives all the time. After losing my second BM Griptilian to a heating duct, I only buy knives that are twenty bucks :)

    Lights for Wives, and kids... what do you guys give them?

    I have given some Fenix E series flashlights. A flashlight that is reliable, AAA, and can go on their keychain seems to be a winner for non-flashaholics.

    The Walking Dead ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** - You've Been Warned!

    Re: The Walking Dead Oh GOD yes. I texted my friend "why did we watch this entire episode of her running only to get caught in the end?" Terrible episode. I get the symbolism of a classic horror movie and the Governor is truly the monster but come on. We already know he is a horrible person...

    The Walking Dead ***POSSIBLE SPOILERS*** - You've Been Warned!

    Re: The Walking Dead I disagree Monocrom, the homo sapien always finds some sort of solution and prevails. Even if that means when someone is to die we blow their head off immediately, then so be it. No more open casket funerals then :) Doesn't mean humans can't reproduce. THAT would be the...

    New Surefire Lights at SHOT Show 2013

    Looking for a torch/flashlight for Law Enforcement

    Look into the Klarus XT11. People always say the throw isn't good enough. For practical applications it's fine. Check out the very similar thread I made earlier in the year: http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/showthread.php?339852-LE-work-Thrower&p=3982677&highlight=#post3982677 The low mode...
