I have a scorpion and am very happy with it. I used to carry it for work and it did well in the field.
It is now mounted on the front of my ultralight carbine. |

I have both and I think the Surefire is a little larger and longer than the Streamlight and has a Lexan lens(?). Not sure about the Scorpion. The Scorp has a rubber covered aluminun body, and is easier to hold between two fingers while shooting. I think they both work well.

I went with the Scorpion. I just liked it better, good reasoning huh. Both are nice inexpensive lights.

I have both and the Scorpion is a much better light IMO.

Nitrolon
Get the G2Z Combat Light Version......you will be much happier with the rubber 'boot' vs. the regular nitrolon. |

I prefer the G2 Nitrolon for outdoor use in the winter. The plastic body does not wich away heat like the rubber-covered aluminum Streamlight does. After I bought the G2, I gave my Streamlight away to a friend.
I usually have my Z2 Combat for everyday use. I only use the G2 when it's cold outside, or I have to hold it in my mouth. I know. Yuck. |

I've got both, and I prefer the G2, especially after I added the anti-shock bezel and the pressure switch.
I don't like the rubber switch on the Streamlight, and the light itself is not as focused or sharp as the G2. YMMV, though. |

My Scorpion throws a pretty spotty pattern. YMMV.

i have both.
the scoprion has a brighter light and can be adjusted to a pinpoint or flood the g2 is a fixed flood. I find the beam on the scorpion more useable for everyday tasks. the only drawback i have found to the scorpion is the rubber cover is thin around the switch. if you drop it on a hard surface the covering will tear. that said they relaced mine no questions asked. the scorpion also seems to get better life out of the bulbs vs the g2. |

I've owned 2 surefires. a 6P that worked great, but tended to eat batteries. So then I went for a rechargeable (I forget the model), but after they replaced the battery TWICE, it still wouldn't hold a charge for more than a day when it was sitting there turned off.
I'm 2 years into a Streamlight Strion, and that is one heck of a go to light. My sister (Boston EMT) carries the bigger Streamlight Stinger, and last Christmas I gave one to my dad. I know there are a ton of surefire fanboiz on the gun boards, but these days you couldn't give me one for free. |

Since he won't take them for free, you can give your free ones to me, I will take them. Thank you.
