Here's the situation. My girlfriend isn't a big fan of the dark, and there have been a few stolen car lately at her parking garage. Put simply, I feel a SureFire light would give her peace of mind, esp. one with a strike bezel! With a cursory glance at SureFire.com I thought the E2D Executive Defender would be ideal. But the second opinion at ar15.com is wanted. The requirements are as follows: brightest and smallest available. Price doesn't matter( at least in this instance). Thank you for your help and or suggestions. |
| The E2D or E2E series would be ideal for her because of the size and the output. While the E2D's strike bezel can be used as a defensive tool you have to think about if she's willing to use it in that role. One concern I have is that over time she may not like the strike bezel because it has a tendency to eat up leather, denim, etc. depending upon how it's carried. |

While not a strike bezel, the front edge of the standard bezel on the E2e, if judiciously applied, will certainly not be a pleasant feeling when it slams you...hard and repeatedly... in the eye or across the bridge of the nose! I have two E2e's and, after seeing an E2D decided against one for my use, but they sure are wicked! |

i recently purchased one from clive at [email protected] phone 352 732-2156 he has great prices 86.00 delivered instead of 105.00 plus shipping. the bezel is scalloped but not sharp. i think it will be fine . i carry mine in my pocket all night at work and no problem, dont foget to order batteries and maybe a laynard. hope this helped you out eric |
Try looking into a Brinkmann Maxfire LX, $20 bucks at walmart. It already has an easy to use "clicky" tailcap. I have one. I like it a lot. Batteries can be purchased at batterystation.com for a dollar a piece if you are a candle power forums member, or at 1.25 if you are not. Other batteries can be purchased from Battery Station at a greatly discounted price. The following is NOT meant to sound like a smart ass..... Please, don't buy a flashlight for your girlfriend, with the intent of her using it as a weapon... WITHOUT any training. There are people who have been trained to use such short sticks, kubotans, as weapons. With a name like "karateKid", you might be one of them, but I don't know. Sometimes, that will only escalate the situation. I am about to give you the "typical arfcom answer"..... Get her that flashlight... and train her to use it in conjunction with a 1911, in 45acp, as God intends. Have a good one. S |

Stainless-- I know absolutly nothing about karate, I just liked the movie. "Get her that flashlight... and train her to use it in conjunction with a 1911, in 45acp, as God intends" Just picturing her with a 1911 made me crack up. Well that and her actually using the bezel. The way I know her, the flashlightwas something that would make her worry less, more than anything else. But her 21st Birthday is coming up....he |
6P, C2, G2 with a P61 lamp maybe? I gave my wife a 6P classic black with a P61 lamp and lanyard. She also has a G2 in the Jeep!  |
Uhm negative ghost rider! If your in a situation where you cannot carry a knife or a gun then the E2D is your next best option.  C4 |
The only time I can't carry a knife or a gun is when I have to go through a metal detector. Laws and rules are nothing but an artificial barrier. I don't go anywhere where there's a metal detector. |
Exactly! I take my E2D on the plane with me! C4 |
