With SHOT Show right around the corner it's almost time for us to see the introduction of the latest SureFire products. As we already know, all of these products won't make it onto retailers shelves but it's always interesting to see what the future might hold. Today SureFire published a couple of photos via social media that may give a little hint of what is in store . . .
HellFighter 5 anyone? With the HF4 rated at 3000 lumens and having an MSRP of $6,460, what could we expect from the next generation?
And a sneak peek of their printed catalog on the presses . . .
It's hard to tell much from the photo but it appears to show the Fury family of lights along with the EB1 and EB2. I can't tell if the 2-cell Furys are rated at 500 or 600 lumens as listed in last year's catalog. It also looks like it include a couple of "new" Peacekeeper models, one of which has a different style tailcap (maybe it's a weapon light?). I'm looking forward to seeing what is presented at SHOT Show.
In possibly related news, the strobe version of the M3LT, the M3LT-S, is no longer listed on the SureFire website which might indicate that it won't be around much longer. The fact that these, along with some other SureFire lights, have been selling for much lower retail prices would also seem to indicate this is the case (or it could just be a coincidence).
Until more info is available, I've started working on my own personal "wish list" for the 2014 offerings:
What about everyone else? What would you like to see in 2014?

Until more info is available, I've started working on my own personal "wish list" for the 2014 offerings:
- More "new" products actually make it to market!
- The P1R Peacekeeper
- Tailcap alternatives (or a redesigned tailcap) for the UNR Commander and UBR Invictus. The 4-way tailcap is pretty slick but it severely limits how the light(s) can be carried.
- Better accessory support for the newer products. This has been pretty poor for several of the new products introduced over the past couple of years with limited, or no, availability of things like filters, holsters, or alternative tailcaps.
- Is it too much to wish for some lower prices?
What about everyone else? What would you like to see in 2014?
