Rarity of Surefire 6P-GM Original Round Body?

[JNewell]

Wondering how rare, and what market prices (or range) might be for a gunmetal 6P in unused condition still in the box?

Thanks!

Last time I was looking for 6Ps the gunmetal modern versions didn't have any special value.

I think JNewell is refering to the old rounded bezel as opposed to the newer anti-roll bezel.

The olderstyle, new in box, will probably bring in a little more cash.

Whoops, I missed the round-body part. Yeah, those aren't nearly as common as the black ones.

6P round body in GM are fairly rare, but no clue what value would be.

it's what ever someone is willing to pay.

now if you had a surefire 6... that would be rare

Correct. Still, I hadn't been aware of any real premium on these.

Yep, for sure! I think it may be rare but not particularlyl valuable? Would be interested in any differing views, though. Have one here in the box that's literally a shelf queen.

I now have one and paid the same as a black one.
I just wanted it because it was different than most and I like GM

I bought the one I've got here back in something like 1999 for the same reason...wanted to be able to spot mine at a glance.

They did change the color of the "gun metal" ano at some point. The recent ones are very gray (to my eye), whereas the earlier ones are more silver.

In our part of the world (southern US), the Gunmetal variants sell for roughly the same money as the the standard black 6P. I bought one because it was different & I liked the color. If Surefire had made it as a limited run item, not a full production item, it would have made a difference in the price. Enjoy it for what it is, a classic light!
