I am looking at purchasing a new flashlight, that I can carry on my duty belt. I already carry a Streamlight Ultra Stinger, 75,000 cp. I am looking for something that Is adaptable to mount to an M-4, yet I can carry on my duty belt when not mounted to a weapon. I prefer the brightest possible "spot" light, ......i.e. no LED's. I have been looking at Surefire, but there are a TON of choices. Cost is not an object......I just want the brightest, small enough to carry on a duty belt, and toughest light on the market!!!!! Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. |

Get in contact with "brightflashlights" in the industry forum and make sure you get your stuff from him. Me personally, I like the Tigerlight system in regards to incandescent lights. Kind of big but...  www.tigerlight.net/. I know you said no LED's but check out the ElektroLumens TriStar Phazer with 4 NiMH C cells!  www.elektrolumens.com/ SureFire is chock full of quality too and you can't go wrong with just about anything they make. |
A Number 1 in Customer Service IMO.

This is what I do...on my car charger is the streamlight ultrastinger rechargable, on my belt is a surefire M3 combatlight in one of the hard surefire holsters (V something) and on my M4 is a G2 that was upgraded with a surefire clicker tailcap and a shock isolated bezel. As suggested above, all my surefire stuff has come from brightflashlights! |

Try the streamlight tl 3. I just got one to mount on my ar and WOW. They say it is comparable with the super stinger...it is not is surpasses it. Very tight focused beam I love it. It will not replace my stinger though as those 123's get real expensive. I got the light for 48 and a mount for 26. The stramlght comes with an extra bulb. Sure fire bulbs are almost $20 a piece at the local dist. |

Heres a look at SureFire's next major light. It's the one I'm waiting for! www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=142&t=143504 |
Exactly what I did, on both acounts. Have a 6P and a G2 Nitrolon. The G2 with SIB and tape switch tailcap are on my AR. Don't be silly with buying one and swapping them around for double duty. The G2 are only $30. Get two. Get it from Brightflashlights.. He got everything out quickly, and i had a problem with both the flashlight mount(Samco is bad for an old style 6P) and the tape switch. He had a new mount and a new tape switch before I sent the old ones back. Great Guy! |
