Just got back from a trip to Spartanburg and a quick visit with COHIBA. Walked out with a Surefire 6P. Very nice light. Very bright beam.

To understate a little bit, if 65 lumens is this bright, I'd hate to run into 125 lumens.....and God preserve my eyes from that 500 lumen beast!!!

The quality is exactly what the company touted and I recommend them to everyone.

Next purchase --> Z2 or G2z or.....

I've got a G2 and I love it. Next I will either get a Scorpion or a 6Z. I've had to replace the bulb one time ($15 :what: ) but I'm pretty sure that's because I drop it all the time hehe.

Anybody got the E2e Outdoorsman? I'd like to find one for less than the listed price of $95 :what:

Yes, the E2 rocks. YMMV.

Congrats on your purchase. You now have a hand-held light so I'd say your next purchase should be a weaponlight for your favorite social longarm.

Just made another Surefire friend last night. I don't have the "500 lumen beast" yet... but the 250 out of my M3 is right bright.

Checked on a fella walking home from work that decided to step off the sidewalk and take his relief near the back of my lot. He gave me that just seen the asteroid that's gonna kill us all "oh *****" upon being hit in the eyes with that thing. Turned around very confused several times. Really confused when I figured out he wasn't breaking into my garage and told him to have a nice day and walked off. A force option for sure.

Next up, 870 fore end light. Then a M6. Then a second mortgage for batteries. I love those things.

COHIBA - do you have a price listing someplace? I'm looking to get a 9v Surefire (not sure which one yet) & an upgrade assembly for my G2.

I tell ya, the more I play with it, the more I like it! I got to work this morning and was able to clearly illuminate a buddy standing well over 50 feet away. That's just an incredible amount of power in a 5" flashlight.

I'm not sure where I'll go from here. I really hope SF comes out with something like the Streamlight BatonLight keychain. I like the practicality but want the Surefire quality.

Justin, I love your idea, but that would mean buying a social longarm. The one shotgun I have just isn't worthy of a primo light like this. I'm thinking a VangComp 870 or 590 might be in order. Just have to decide which model is the better/more practical shotgun and then figure out which light to put on it.

And, of course, if I go with a KA AR15, I could put one of those pistol grip lights on the foregrip. Just need that spare $1500!

Why isn't any of this easy?
