Can somebody confirm the new M2 has scalloped bezel and new tail cap please?

My guess is if they are going to do new bezel for the M2 that it would end up as a M2-CB and not a replacement for the existing model.
I haven't heard of any change in the tailcap. What did you hear?
FWIW, I saw a M3-CB in a store the other day and it was really good looking. I'm not into the whole CB thing, but it looked a lot nicer with the rounded head and scalloped edge. Very nice.

I disagree.RAF_Groundcrew said:I suppose the parallel marketing of the plain and scalloped M3 bezel lights was more to sell all the remaining 'old' bezels than to cater to personal choice.
I agree, I prefer the scalloped rather than crenelated verion - it's easier to carry and handle - it doesn't get caught or snagged on things. It's also a bit shorter.RAF_Groundcrew said:Some people will prefer the plain bezels, but from what I see on this forum, most prefer the scalloped bezels, for whatever reason. I have an M3 CB, and I like the look of the scalloped bezel, but I can't imagine having to use my light as an impact weapon, although I guess some folk buy them with that in mind (the reasoning behind the E2d and it's many sharp edges).
The "crenelated" and "scalloped" bezel rims replace the 'plastic' ring that retains the window. It means modifying the bezel. SureFire would still offer crenelated or scalloped choice.RAF_Groundcrew said:If Surefire were to introduce an M2-CB, it would be a large commitment...
So what about the M95 Millennium Series WeaponLights then?RAF_Groundcrew said:...as the M2 would be the only Millenium light that the bezel would fit (as well as the C, Z and P series).
Incorrect. The current versions of the "M3" and "Millennium TurboHead" bezels are offered in scalloped or crenelated. "Plain" bezels with 'plastic' window retain rings are old stock.RAF_Groundcrew said:The larger M lights (M3, M4, M6) all have a larger bezel thread, and the turboheads for these are currently offered in plain and CB options...
