I'll tell you why I am now getting hooked on Surefire .
I have had a few lights . Mostly the Made in China variety . Many were/are good lights. One especially comes to mind , Jetbeam, the Military 1x18650 model to be exact. Jetbeam does a nice job on their lights and the military is to me of Surefire levels in quality.
But the Surefire lights on whole just have a level of fit and finish that exudes that classic concept of real Made in America quality. From the machining to the annodizing to the Pyrex window. I'm by no means saying everything Made in America is high quality but when we get something right, a particular car,gun,knife,appliance boy do we get it right and the world recognizes this. Its that way with Surefire lights. Plus they are regarded by military/police the world over as THE best lighting tools made and those poeple need tools that are bomb proof , literally
Speaking for myself only , I am really getting into making every effort to spend my money on American made products IF they are good ones.
Plus, I have had a few problems with switch reliability on clickys on some lights. The SF Z41 to me is the ultimate in reliability. You get momentary operation and constant on with a quick 2 finger twist . There is virtually nothing that can break in that mechanism I am aware of. Maybe others can prove that wrong?
Is that light you mention worth it? Purely subjective , but I know they sold like hotcakes and people still love them, kinda like all the amazing classic American cars that sell for over $100,000 at auction these days. Not that SF is an outdated product by any means.
I see myself getting stuck on SF for the forseeable future and that doesnt seem llike a bad route to me :naughty: Get one, not just a Nitrolon either:devil: and you will see. If you dont you wont have any problem reselling it on the Marketplace here
