Surefire C2 Xenon

[PinarelloOnly]

This is mostly a pictorial review.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about these lights. I am a
believer in this design even for EDC. The size doesn't bother me at all.
I love this light so much that I'm thinking now of a G2Z to add as a lighter
version to toss-a-round' in my backpack.

The fit, finish and simplicity of this light is outstanding and I am very
impressed with it!!!!

P60L drop-in is on the way.:thumbsup:

Nice shots! I love the squarish look of the C2.

I have the C3 myself and love it. The clip and squarish look gives it a "cool" profile. I have the Z2 Combat Light which is kinda like the C2.

Beautiful light!

Which drop in do you plan to use?

PinarelloOnly,

:welcome: Great shots! I have been lusting after this light for way too long!! It must be my next...I can't wait for SF's drop in from the Shot show...I think once they appear on the market, it will finally be time to pull the trigger on the C2..
Thanks for the flashlight porn :naughty: Steve

Very nice pictures! thanks

I also really love the look of my C2. I am only using it with a P61 Lamp.

Thanks,

I have a Surefire P60L drop in coming and I would like to order a Prem. Plus from Bug Out.

However, with BOGUSA shipping charges it puts the Prem. Plus closer to
$50 which I'll have to think about to spend that kinda' money right now for
another drop in.

Great looking pictures there!

Nice combination -- the E1L for your "small" light and the C2 for your "big" light. The P60L module from Surefire is a good addition and I read on another thread that they are planning to release a P61L module sometime, too.

(Also, that is one cool table...)

Those are some sweet pics.

My first Surefire was a black C2 model. (Still have it).

I'm going to wait a bit for the new P61L drop-in.

Great photos. I just ordered a C2 as a host for my Malkoff M60 Q5. I'm going to modify the tailcap to be a 2-stage switch using the McC2S.

I met Gene Malkoff at Paul Kim's party for CPF and he was hosting his P60 Q5 in a HAIII C2. The C2 natural is a beautiful light, and looks better than a C2 done up with black HAII.

It was a pleasure to meet Bill and his wife. They are great folks. The C2 is one of my favorites. It just screams carry me, carry me every time I walk by it!

This will be my next surefire purchase, unless PinarelloOnly wants to trade for me G2Z..:nana:

the C2 looks like the perfect host for a P60..

The best part is when you wrap your fingers around the C2. The smooth design of the barrel is misleading. The rubber grip-ring helps, but the light itself is very secure in the hand.

I hadn't heard much about this light and I chose it mainly because it is available in HAIII, has a clip (with a space for a tritium vial), and can host my Malkoff M60. It's getting delivered today... I can't wait.:naughty:

Can the C2 tube be bored out or sanded to fit 18650?

(I've tried searching)

Cheers!

C2 should be ok for boring. My KL6 body (M3 size body) was bored and body diameter dimensions should be the same as the C2.

You're gonna' love it. This light has made me stop looking at buying any
other light in the near future including 2 lights I have completely crossed
off my list, the Inova T1 and Fenix T1.

I even canceled my order on a Pentagon Light L2.

Matter of fact, after I dropped in the P60L and saw what my C2
can do and how impressive it is, I even stopped looking to buy the new
up and coming E2D LED.

If I were to spend $80-$120+ on another EDC light it's going to be a Z2,
G2Z or another C2 maybe in black. I'm eagerly awaiting the LED versions
of these lights.

I can't stress enough the outstanding ergonomics of this light and how
over designed it is with out being heavy. It's the best $100+ I ever spent on a light.

Killer light.:thumbsup:


More pics of my C2 LED upgrade found at my photoblog.

I really like the look/feel of your pictures. Great job

I've always loved the C2...what a robust light.

It's not often that we see many incan reviews but this was refreshing.

 

[KeyGrip]

Great pictures. Anybody else see a resemblance to a WWII era P47 Thunderbolt?

 

[gottawearshades]

Nice pics. I also own and love my C2 (in black). It fills the hand just right. It's now a host for a Malkoff M60, and I would strongly recommend that setup.

Cheers
