Has Surefire slit it\'s own throat.
I was wondering what other forum members thoughts on the new Surefire prices are. I can't help but think that Surefire has slit it's own throat. It has raised prices on almost all it's products at a time when it is about to face some of it's first real competion. (Pelican M6, Strategos) At the same time they have lowered the price on the G2. I feel this shows how inflated their other prices must be. The G2 has the same internals as many of their other lights 6p, d2 etc. Thus the cost diferrance is in the body and a few cents for the Lock out tail cap. Mag, Brinkman etc have shown that ALU bodied lights can be made at a reasonable cost. A even more telling example is the G2Z, their is no way that light is correctly priced at $75 dollars when the G2 is now at under $30. What are other peoples thoughts on this?
