Dang it Grift,... I've been waiting for a police officer to say "Surefire something or other". I live in Texas (outside of any of the big cities) and I've been making a conscious effort to take note of what the officers are carrying. I have never seen an LEO (anywhere in Texas)with a Surefire. That's why I can't figure out how LEOs are supposed to be such a large part of their market. For that matter, unless they are special forces of some type, I've never known anyone in any branch of the military to be issued one either.
Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love Surefire, own numerous products, and will continue to pay big bucks for their works of art. Few things put a smile on my face like when I hold one of their products. I just don't see how their product fits into the LEO/military market. Furthermore, I don't understand how we at CPF are not a huge part of their market. Honestly, you guys and myself are the only people I know of that own them (some of us have multiple M6s, 10Xs, E2es, etc.) My point is... other than us loons here on the forum, I don't see thousands of dollars being spent on the product by anyone other than individuals and enthusiasts. Please tell me I'm wrong. I'd like to be able to justify my purchases to those who aren't quite so enamored by lights as myself by saying, "Hey, all the elite police and military organizations carry them."
