First post; Surefire Centurion M2

[**DONOTDELETE**]

Hello all. This is my first post over on the CandlePower Forums. I like what I have seen so far! I think most knife junkies tend to be flashlight junkies also.
I have been acquainted with Surefire since they first introduced the 6P. I have used several of their products and always been happy with them. I just sold a mint 9N rechargeable model along with a Streamlight Stinger rechargeable.
I currently have an ASP Tac Light, a 9P SF, and a Maglite rechargeable, along with an assortment of others.
Just got paid a visit by big brown and received a Surefire Centurion M2. Now this is a light! I really like the lines on this light, not to mention the two lamp assemblies that came with it. The 61P really puts out some light! I plan to use this as an all purpose light and like the idea of the clip.
Surefire seems to be the top dog on the flashlight scene and after handling this new one I can see why. BTW, the tailcap is a gray color while the rest of the light is a geenish/gray color. Not a problem as I sorta like the two-tone finish! Even matches my new Bob Dozier Buckhunter!

Welcome to CPF Art!

Is this the new M2? The one with the Shock Isolated Bezel... The one with cooling fins?

As for colour matching, SureFire try to match parts, but different anodisation batches are sometimes slightly different shades. This is one of the problems with Military Level III Hard Anodising - It makes it harder to keep a constant colour thoughtout the batches.

Yep 15s it is the new model. Cooling fins and shock system included. I was not sure what you meant by the shock system until I just looked inside the bezel and saw and felt how it worked, AWESOME! Like I said it looks good to me was just curious about whether this was how it was supposed to be. Thanks for the help 15s. BTW that is quite a collection of lights you have.

Those were but a few. The really cool ones are those I can't show you photos of...

Here is another SureFire group photo.

None of these are Pryex, sorry.

Since these were taken, there have been significant additions to the SureFires I have. In a couple weeks, I hope to have more photos.

My new M2 arrived last night, and I gotta say that the P61 is awesome

. The tailcap on mine is also grey colored whereas the rest of it is a greenish\grey. The M2 fits nicely between my E2-HA and 9AN

I think the P61 is one of the best Lamp Modules SureFire have produced! I'm glad you're as impressed

If you're interested, some of the photos I couldn't show are now posted on the SureFire Forum.

Shame on you if need me to link to it!

Al,

I did quite a bit of research before I got the M2, and a lot of your insites from both sites made the decision easier. I bet that it was very tough on your part, biting your tongue about the led head

You have no idea how close some ideas or guesses were, and are to products that SureFire is developing.
We are mostly practical people, and SureFires are practical illumination tools.

Certainly, SureFire surprises us all, but ideas from the forums do help I think.

The M3 LED Bezel is the tip of the iceberg.
