The SureFire AZ2 Thread

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

Well I hope they do. Some of their lights like the LX2 and A2L came with lanyard, so are the M3, M4, and M6.

At the price of $260 for the AZ2 they better include a lanyard.

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

I am interested in the AZ2 and I think it is a very good replacement for my G2Z Nitrolon. I seem to love carrying lights around my neck too and absolutely loved lanyards. However, when running through Surefire's website, I couldn't find any indication of SF including a lanyard attachment just like the LX2 since the tailcap of the AZ2 seems to be made for it.

Anyone knows anything?

The AZ2 does have the same lanyard attachment as the LX2. My partner at work has had his for about 2 weeks now. It's a nice light. The tailcap is also very similar to the LX2. It's a twisty tail cap...slight push for low, push harder for high.

Have you tried it? Is the turn needed to activate constant-on as much as I've heard the LX2 to be. Maybe a bit too long?

Be patient. Surefire generates it's income mainly from LE and the military, not general users and hobbyists like us.

AZ2 is a combat light and would spark more interests from LE professionals and those in the military. I believe Surefire deliberately launch the AZ2 to get a fast recoup into their R&D costings. Once when things stabilizes, they would launch the LX1.

Just my opinion though but this is how I psycho myself to wait for the LX1. :cool:

Ya, I am just joking!

I'm planning to get the AZ2 as an upgrade from the G3L...I will be using it specifically for patrolling/duty work :)

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

I am tempted by this one. $260 seems a little steep for a 2 cell I would imagine 200L light, but if I see a favorible review, I might have to give into temptation.

I'm looking forward to some beamshots.

I would love to pick one up myself, but I can't afford to unfortunately.

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

I would like to see how the AZ2 compares to the A2L.

 

[DimeRazorback]

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

That is one of my main interests.

I for one am hoping that they have concentrated the beam for the high mode a bit more, as the A2L is mainly spill.

I think, a TIR with the 4 secondary LED's around the outside would be awesome!

Re: Surefire AZ2 now on Surefire website

Yes, beam shots please...need to know if its worth upgrading from a Surefire G2Z w/Malkoff M60L or not.
The dual mode sounds exciting.

doesnt seem to be a ton of interest generated from this light, people were going nutty waiting for the LX2

We don't have a ton of active shooters on CPF compared to the number of general interest flashaholics - The AZ2 like other CombatLights before it are rather specific tools

The AZ2 switch to me is the exact same as the LX2. I didn't sit down and compare them side by side but I have used both. The hot spot on high is very concentrated. The low is pure flood with no hot spot at all and has a blueish tint. It's nice for low light situations when you don't want a really bright light killin your nite vision.

 

[DimeRazorback]

Hey msap, with regards to the high beam, when you say it is very concentrated, are we talking almost like the LX2, or is it similar to the A2L?

I am interested in the AZ2, but I don't want it if the main beam is similar to the A2L... too floody.

I want flood on low, and a high mode that is TIR like! :devil:

 

[dano]

I'm curious on emitter choice....the photos I've seen looks like it's using a K2 Flipchip, but those are discontinued...Probably a prototype used for photo purposes?

I respectfully disagree. My G2Z gets a lot of use (IMR/P90/P91) as a go-to light for everything from painting ceilings to EDC pocket rocket to looking around under my desk. The CombatGrip hasn't made my grip worse once, is a safe place to bite without biting down on anodized aluminum alloy, and is generally great for retention in every conceivable circumstance.

Plus, it works with firearms.

This may be my first retail-priced Surefire ever.

 

[Size15's]

I agree that the CombatGrip has many benefits beyond the active shooter but I meant the image, marketing and intent of CombatLights focuses on fire-arms users as the core user.
