Hi guys. I read the current thread on why people like Surefire flashlights with great interest. My first 'expensive' flashlight was a Surefire 6Z that I bought years ago and I still own. I installed a Malkoff drop in to upgrade it. I like it for its build quality, reliability, and toughness.
A lot of people like that brand because of reliability and toughness. I wonder if you've found other brands that have these qualities now ? One of the reasons I ask this question is that recently I watched a YouTube video entitled " Voodoo Tactical Olight Brutal test MUST SEE!!! " (everything within the quote marks - I'm fairly new and aren't sure about the rules on posting links, but you'll be able to find it) Well, they put one of their lights through some pretty outrageous tests and the video helped sway me to buy a couple of their lights (an M18 & M22).
As I mentioned, I really like my Surefire. But I was on one forum recently that is orientated toward military & police professionals and competitive shooters and many of them were of the opinion that they would only trust a SF light. But my question isn't so much about Surefire, as to whether other companies are now offering lights that are equally tough and reliable ? That video I mentioned seems to make that manufacturer's case pretty well. Thanks for your comments on this -
