[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Is it really that hard to get a Surefire tactical light ?

I placed an order with them on Sunday and happen to call them on Monday to change the light and they told me they were back ordered and did'nt know when they would recieve any new merchandise.I called another seller one on the above board and he also told me they were back ordered and it would take about four weeks.An operator at surefire told me there was a guy who waited up to two years for something I told them to cancel my order because I needed the item by this week.

Surefire is way overpriced and way overated.

I wouldn't be surprised. My friend is a SF dealer here and there's been times that I had to wait 2 months for stuff to get in. I get the stuff cheap so I don't mind waiting. The EE here has some pretty damn good deals once in a while, just gotta keep looking.

Contact Calvin at Brightflashlights in the Industry section. Great guy, excellent prices and usually has a pretty fair number of SFs in stock. Lots of guys here have dealt with him, so lots of feedback...all positive so far as I know...certainly MY feedback on him is.

Does anyone besides surefire make a VFG setup (like the 900/910)?

I've seen multi-month delays buying items that you would think would be regularly stocked items. I don't have any visibility into SureFire's operations, but they sure are slow.

None.

Me too. Ordered a 6P with a mount from LaRue Tactical on last Thursday and got it today.

Delay?
