Check out the new "fighting" bezel! I wouldn't want to be hit with it....

I must have one.

That'll change someone's channel.

They have retrofit bezels for those of us with older M3s?

Hmmmm good question (as usual). I will have to check. Size15 will probably know. I can tell you that they SHARP....

I played with one today and the teeth are cool but it seems like the head was rather large for the light.  Is this just me.  Do the older model M3 have the same sized head just w/o the teeth because for a smaller head I would rather have that then the teeth.

Now that I think of it the bezel seems to be a little more robust...

[i]Sorry to intrude on another dealer's topic but ...[/i] The bezel diameter is the same, the new scalloped bezel is only slightly longer.  In fact, the scalloped portion of the bezel is a seperate component (lense retaining ring) so it looks possible that it might become available to upgrade the older M3 bezels.

Lumpy, the V71 combat holster will allow it to be carried bezel down.

I started looking at these since I am switching from days to nights actualy tomorrow and being on days I just kept my G2 on my duty belt but since I am going to nights and we can wear nylon I figured I would jump up to the big boy light.  Hey Grant and BF can you IM me a price?  The gun shop I saw it in today had it for friggin $219.

Here are some photos I've had online for a bit:

You'll see that the style of the M3 bezel has changed through time. The lens has changed from Lexan to Pyrex as well as the way of securing the lens changing. I have a proto-type of the M3 bezel with the scallops that uses "last year's style". Due to the design of the bezel I seriously doubt the scalloped part will ever be released as a retro-fit part because it is glued in place to retain the lens.

What's the scoop on that switch in the bottom photo?

I believe thats the nifty new weapons switch that has a momentary/click on-off AND tape switch attachment.

The XMxx TailCap - New for 2004.
Plug in cable tape pressure switch.
And
Push button momentary / click for constant-on switch.
The black part can be rotated so that the push button can be used not matter which side your mount your WeaponLight.

The other new TailCap is the UMxx. Same plug in cable tape pressure switch.

Both the XMxx and UMxx are waterproof I believe.

What are the chances of getting on an airplane with one of these?  A standard 6P gets its share of looks...

Hmmm.... airplane?  I never thought about that.  I am going on a cruise in a few weeks and they wont let me take my pistol or a pocket knife but my 6P would work as a small baton.  Can anyone confirm if they will let you on a plane with these?

EDIT... Just wanted to add, will SF make a replacement head with teeth for the 6P?  I know GGG has the TID but it doesnt look as cool.

You can get on with a 6P as long as the batteries light it up, but I'd bet you'd be donating one of these to the TSA if you tried it.  If your fellow passengers didn't club you into submission with their laptops first...

The one cruise I went on, the security was tighter than the plane I had just gotten off of (1998 or so).

Hmm, I got my M3 and M2 on at Dulles in November going to Vegas and back.  

About how much are the combo Tailcaps for my MU962??
