Anybody know about surefire 3p

I was chatting with a guy in calif (LPS Wayne) and he told me about the SF 3p runs on 1 123 batt. Discontinued by SF. Is it a decent light? Rugged? bright?

My opinion is that it is far too big for it's output. I strongly suggest you buy an E1e-HA instead. The E1e has a brighter, whiter beam, longer runtime, from a smaller, compact, light-weight Hard Anodised body with a Pyrex Lens and LockOut TailCap. Best of all, you can fit the KL1 Luxeon Bezel to the E1e!

Nope, it won't. The 3P is much bigger and not as bright.

Imagine a 6P, but with an inch removed from the body...The 3P was a cool little light, but is definetly outclassed by the E series lights...

Size15s, Thanks for the info and pics. Puts it in perspective. I have a kl3 awaiting from surefire. Scorpion and G2 mating. Will probly get kl1 after that. Just need a 3 cell body now. C'mon Dspeck.

Al, I'm just giving you a hard time.

Yes, the 3P is outclassed by the E1. But the 3P is still a mini-marvel for the average, Joe Schmoe unenlightened flashlight user.

I've learnt to like it hard.

Thus the constant HA recommendations, I'm sure.

Indeed. It's the only way to go for every day.
