Its official. I'm a C2-HA addict..... *part 2*

Probably. Most "proper" retailers can't ship surefire products internationally anyway, the export laws in the US are quite strict.

I believe Eric is correct, as I suspect Surefire's international shipping restrictions have more to do with deals they have with their overseas partners/distributors (as opposed to US government policy).

 

[PCS]

DAMN YA! :tsk:

I was just sitting here minding my own bidness and you had to go and post a deal like that! Man, I spend WAY too much on flashlights!

Even though it's not HA, I had to order one at that price! :shrug:

Same here. What a great deal. I almost ordered two.

Indeed, Eric is correct. From 2 different well-known and respected vendors:

"International Clients: Sure Fire prohibits their US based dealers
from shipping outside the US. If you need assistance, contact their International affairs agent"

Anyway, lets get back to posting pictures of those sexy C2s!

Thanks for the info, but sorry for more OT converstaion, would I be able to get a member to purchase one on my behalf and send it my way in Aus? I'm not sure if there is a proper way to go about asking something like this.

I've now got a C2 HA on its way to me I scored from the marketplace. Should arrive in less than a week from now.

Well, I bought a C2-HA a couple of weeks ago, order a C2-BK a couple of days ago, and ordered a C3-HA today. All on closeout.

I'm completely hooked. :duh2:

 

[JCK]

PM incoming!

Thanks, pm replied.

I also forgot, I have a C3-HA coming my way as well

Hi guys, I will be getting my first SF C2 soon.
Very excited as I also have a M61HCRI on order which will be my first ever dropin.

I would like to get a clicky for this setup.

Which is the better clicky in your opinion, the Z58 or the Z41 w/McClicky upgrade?
Any other better options I'm missing?

Thanks!

 

[WESBC]

I got my first C2 today, albeit it's type II-BK, I can't imagine how much better if it was HAIII-BK. Right now I have it with a black M2 (Z32) bezel, Z49 tail, and a NB XML (Waiting for his R2 to come in).

I just love the block body feel in my hands and the lines of it. I'm almost tempted to get more just because I think they are awesome.

I guess it depends on where your priorities are. The Z58 will be easier and, most likely, pricier. The McClicky will probably cost significantly less, but it involves a bit of work, as you have to remove the Z41's inner workings.

 

[Toohotruk]

You could also get one of the new Malkoff Devices tailcaps, which have a McClicky, will tail stand, and will work with an SF C2.

 

[THE_dAY]

Thanks for your input, greatly appreciated!

Just now saw the Malkoff clicky, I think it only comes in black?, but want something to match the HAIII of the Surefire.

I also saw the instructions on how to install the McClicky and I'm pretty sure I would mess something up if I tried it.

So I guess I will probably get a Z58 but will see how the stock Z41 feels first.

 

[Stress_Test]

Well, I planned to just get one and field test it a bit, then I thought I'd box it back up and make it a b'day gift for my brother... however, the package was one of those sealed cardboard types, so I couldn't really open it without mangling it. So I figured, well, I'll just keep this one for my self and order a fresh one for him! Heh heh. I was doomed as soon as I took it out of the package and handled it! Anyway, now I just have to figure out what dropin I want to put in his, but I've got a couple more months before I have to decide, so maybe something interesting will come out. I do like the Thrunite XM-L though.



Some pics below. Goes well with the M&P, yes?

 

[angelofwar]

Very nice, Stress! i had a type-II Black C2 at one time, in my early years as a flashaholic. Now I have type-III BK-HA :0). I did get a C3-BK just recently though, and it's a really sexy light. Nice combo, BTW! Now you just need a red clamp on filter for it!

 

[LE6920]

How do you tell the type II and type III black C2s apart?

 

[angelofwar]

Type-II Anodize is glossy in appearance. Type III anodize (also known as "Hard Anodized") is naturally a variation of brown/od/grey, but the black type-III has a dull finish, as opposed to the glossy finish of the type-II black anodized lights.

The button on the z58 doesn't protrude as much as the mcclicky boot, also surefire will replace the z58 if it brakes which is a huge plus =)
