This is my first posting on CPF though I've been lurking here a bit for a while. Really appreciate all the info I've received so far.
Anyways, actually went to buy my first Surefire and drove about 40 miles round trip to a store that carries and thought stocks Surefires. After a long wait at Gander Mountain and talking to a couple people, I was told they were out of stock on all Surefires even though they had about 8 or so on display in a couple of counter display cases.
I was planning on buying an E2E and thought I'd buy it from a store so I could verify that it had the new clicky switch. Since I struck out on picking one up today, I've got a few questions before I attempt to order from an online dealer.
First of all, should most dealer stock nowadays have the new style switch? Next, I really want the long clip like the E2O but with the lamp of the E2E so I'm thinking just buy the E2E and try to get the clip direct from Surefire. Anyone with a better plan (E2O and get the lamp for the E2E since I might want the other lamp???)?
Finally, any good dealer recommendation that might be within a day or two via cheap shipping rates to Michigan? Would like to be able to have by Wednesday before a trip so hoping I can order tomorrow from someone that would stock the newer ones with the clicky switch and won't nail me too bad on the shipping.
Thanks for any and all help.
