SF 6P gray

Anybody else have the 6P in 'gunmetal'? How do you like it?

I'm probably going to get one when the p61L module comes out in the fall. It will be the host. I love the 6P format, and the gray finish should be an interesting color for my collection.

I got both the SF-6P and the SF-E2E in the satin gray finish............




I like the finish. Not as durable as their hard anodized finish but it looks better and will hide wear better. I wish they offered more models in this finish.

Thanks for the pic. It looks great.

I have...a few (!)...6P-GM. It is certainly an attractive finish, and I think the weakness of the coating compared to HA is offset by the degree to which it hides dings and scratches.

The "clear" anodizing is where it's at, though. Very bright and eye-catching.

I have an early one and some recent parts. The early one is almost clear. The later parts (bezel, tailcap) are quite gray. Both are good looking.

And whilst on the topic...anywhere I can get a gunmetal strike bezel??

SureFire don't produce a strike bezel in GM, and I'm not aware of them producing a clicky tailcap in GM either.

The closest thing you'll likely find is the satin stainless Tactical Head that Lighthound sells...........http://www.lighthound.com/index.asp?PageAction=VIEWPROD&ProdID=3079

I have the black version with the satin stainless bezel that I have toyed around with a bit on my satin gray 6P.........




...........the stainless matches up pretty well with SF's satin gray anodizing. It's not perfect but it is close. Solarforce also sells one like the Lighthound version in all stainless. You can find them on Ebay.

Thanks for your help - I found the stainless steel bezels on ebay, no luck with the stainless steel clickies though.

Not a stainless clickie but looks awesome! :nana:
