Surefire 6P with C2 Centurion Anodizing?

[Voider]

Hi Folks,
Has anyone heard of, seen, or know how to obtain a Surefire 6P in HA III that's the color of a C2 or the LX2? I mean without Legoing the head and tail from a C2 - as that still leaves the black or (gasp) gunmetal grey body. Thanks. BTW, you guys are the most civilized group I've ever seen on a (shall we call it a subcultural interest) forum.:thumbsup:

I am not aware of any type III anodized 6P's produced by Surefire, although I wouldn't rule out the possibility that a few rare one's might have been made over the years. I may have seen one in a rare Surefire's thread, thought that may be my mind playing tricks on me. I know there are a few aftermarket HA 6P's however.

I did see a rare Green HA III OG 6P on CPFMP dont know if it's still available.

Overady sell custom HA 6Ps 🙂
they're Black, not grey though...

I really want one of their Bronzed Z2's

 

[Voider]

I really like the added grip that the type III offers. I have 2 black Oveready III's, and they are less "slippery" than the II's. They do mix well with the C2 heads and tails, but I think it would be cool have one fully "green-grey."
Those Bronzed Z2's certainly aren't easy to catch in stock are they? Thank you for the responses, guys.

There are a few natural 6P-HA's that were made by SF...just a handful though. Last factory 6P-HA I saw on the MP went for $300-$400. Plus, it was the older style with the round bezel.

Beat me to it!!

OP they do exist, but they are a RARE bird indeed.

I have been trying to find a deerelight CL1H, first series in natural typeIII. These are very rare too.

There was also a short run of Malkoff MD2 hosts in typeIII gray... looking for that one too, no dice.

Then theres the Leef 1x18650 host body in olive/natural typeIII. Paired with a C2 bezel and Z41 tailcap its another NICE alternative.

Hmm, sounds like I need to be lucky or rich! (Not a bad idea anyway.) That Leef body seems like my best bet. Thanks guys.

Ever tried to score a Leef body 😉 and they also don´t come cheap nowadays. Oveready has the TorchLab TL65 bodies available in black and natural HA anodizing. The anodizing isn´t a perfect match for Surefire´s HA natural but the Leef bodies I had weren´t either. Here´s a picture of my TL50 with a Z41 switch and a HA cryos head (which is an almost perfect match to Surefire´s HA natural).

Other than a 3x 18650 black Leef body at 'Hound, I was wondering about availability. . Hadn't checked any further though. VERY nice Cryos/Xeno/Modoolar/Oveready/Torchlab/ setup, Eric. Is that a "Shorty" tailcap? I think the Torchlab natural would go well with the Surefire C2. I wonder if Oveready allows "walk-ins." They're about an hour away from me! 😀 Thanks very much for sharing.

Is this one of those?

It's my father in law's. I've always liked how it looks.

 

[ebow86]

No, that's a common type II finish know as gun metal grey, or sometimes satin grey.

 

[nbp]

That looks to me like the gun-metal gray 6P. Not HA, but good looking nonetheless.

 

[mhphoto]

Cool, thanks. I've always wondered about that.

 

[Eric242]

Is that a "Shorty" tailcap?

Yes, it´s a ZeroRez shorty to allow 18650/2x18350 in TL50 (1x18500) battery tube.

I don't know why Surefire never decided to apply type III anodizing to their 6 and 9P's. I don't think price is the answer, there were other lights they offered in in the similar price range that had type III.

Pre 9-11, before LE had to become "militarized", there was little acceptance for non-routine gear...you r light had to match the gloss black belt and boots/shoes you wore...in fact, SF's in general, weren't really available in any other finish until the years right after 9-11, for the most part.

Interesting facts there AOW, thanks for the explanation. Sure would be nice to have seen Surefire produce type III 6P's and 9P's, wouldn't you agree?

 

[Schuey2002]

Yeah, there is one for sale in a certain MarketPlace.. 😗

Yeah, I'd like to see a newer model 9P with the anti roll bezel in factory HA for sure!
