This light is a piece of genius. It is easy to hold onto, light weight and tough, more bang for less bucks and worthe every penny. Check out the website for all the specs, it's worth the time.

Great little light - I have Two. Matter of fact our department just started giving these lights out to the rookies as standard issued equipment.

I have 10 of these and keep them in separate locations around the house, car, and one each in my two backpacks. You never know when you may need one!

These babies will definitely disorient someone's night vision for sure...good self defense tool!

I like but it could do with a longer battery life.

I agree with all that it's a great little light...I also have two. However, neither give any kind of warning that the battery is going dead. One second it's shining brightly...The next second it's completely dead! This could cause a serious problem if it's the only light you have during a threatening/unknown threat situation.

Love this light. I carry it in my purse in case I ever need it and it has never let me down. Very bright for such a little light and is also light weight to carry.

This is the best flashlight being made in my opinion because it lasts forever and it is very tough!!!!

This is a fantastic compact tactical light. I usually carry it in the pocket of my vest. Very durable, grip design is comfortable. It is very easy to operate and the light beam is strong enought to temporarily disorient an opponent.

Great little light to have. The only problems is that the batteries used are the ones used to make meth with.

Great light. Wish batteries lasted longer

Best value of non-rechargeable flashlights.

I switched to the G2 from the rechargeable Stinger. Great backup light, as long as you have fresh batteries. Surefire sells them cheaper than anyone else. It's lightweight and powerful. A must buy for the price.

Great flashlight for the price. Nice and bright, but the dead-man switch could feel a little less "cheap." I use it as a back up light in my car since I don't have to worry about it getting beat up or corroding.

Great Light.

I was very sceptical about a light that used "high dollar" batteries at such a fast rate, but after my wife bought it for me I would not trade it for anything else. It is very bright, light weight, and can be kept anyplace. I cant wait to try the "G3", I've heard some good things about it.

Great flashlight . Everybody should have atleast one

Great light! Mine has definitely taken a lickin' and is still just as good as the day I bought it. It's even been used as a close quarters weapon when my baton was not available. All around great light to have!

Good light, great for a backup light. Battery life is an issue.

I have two of these and a Z6. There great. I have upgraded the bulb to the 120 lumens and there great When your out in the woods this is the light you want. I don't think Surefire makes a bad light. The G2 weren't bad but the older Z6 was costly and there the same thing just different body material.

This is a excellent compact flashlight that offers alot of power. I bought the G2 and it works great. Surefire offers alot of accessories and upgrades on a light that costs less then $40 dollar.

HANDS DOWN, THE GREATEST BACK UP LIGHT THAT I HAVE USED YET SLEEK DESIGN EASY TO GRIP . AND TAIL CAP BUTTON IS A PLUS !!

I love my G2. The only thing is sometimes tailcap switch will turn the light on and run down the battery.

You just can't go wrong with a Surefire in your pocket. Wide enough beam to quickly clear a room, powerful enough to illuminate a reflective sign 600 meters away, and more than bright enough to completely disorient and night-blind a suspect. Painfully bright to night-acclimated eyes. At 20 bucks (local price) I'd rate this one a MUST HAVE, in fact, planning to buy a couple more of them.

The G2 is one of the best small lights for the money. It works well for as small as the light is, and its a durable light that takes a lot of abuse. It fits well on the duty belt and is very light weight. You dont even know its there.

Poor battery life

I got one of these for X-mas and it has come in handy quite a few times from then... Although the battery life sucks, I am impressed with the light.I am planning to buy the LED upgrade which makes the light brighter while enlongating the battery life. So far, the best flashlight I ever owned.

Great flashlight. Love the brightness of beam. Compact. No problems thus far

I picked this up to carry for a spare. Very impressive little light for the price. Good construction, lightweight, and a bright pre-focused beam.

Great light for a spare. Sometimes has to fit in cases for thr Surfire 6P. Battery life is short as it is on the Surfire 6P. I got three for a great price when I was in the military from the PX and gave one to my parrents. They love it to walk the dog and find the lanyard handy for there use.

Most powerful mini light for the money on the market.

Small but tough. Does a great job.

Have been looking at many flashlights out there. Really prefer a focusable-beam led, but this is one of two or three I plan on carrying for normal everyday use.

I got one for me and one for my little brother at a gunshow for $30 each. It's bright, compact, and seems durable. It has since replaced my Dorcy (see my other rating) I'd take it anywhere I need light, but my biggest beef with it is the batteries it uses, they're bloody expensive! Another thing is the screw on sustained lighting, I expected it to have a conventional clicky button in back, but it seems like it's more simple and therefore less prone to failure.

Great for a back up light!!!!!!! If you use it as your primary light you better get a second job because the use up quick and aren't cheap.

This is a great light, I actually broke one by getting water inside of it and the batteries burst. I called up surefire and they sent someout out to pick it up. I got a brand new one. I recently switched to the LED version which is also great and lasts alot longer. Surefire has never let me down. Hands down best light I have ever owned.

This is a great lightweight light. I have it on my nylon belt with a hi-output bulb.

Good price and effective tool. I've used it in the millitary in Iraq and now carry it for duty use and it never has failed me.

I didn't see anyone post this but you can also purchase a double bright bulb for this. It will reduce the life of the batteries by half but you also get a light that approaches the output of an SL20. fyi

I just bought one, and for such a tiny light (fits snugly in the palm of my hand) it is one bright little sucker. I just did a foot patrol with it last night and it was so bright that it clearly illuminated an alleyway between apartment buildings from more than 7 feet away. WOW!!!! That's all I can say, and they also make a neat little holster that holds it firmly on your duty belt (various widths up to 6.5 inches, I think) in either the upright or head-down position. I prefer upright because it just sits lower and keeps me from bumping into it constantly, but it snaps right into the holster and you can even turn it on in the holster to illuminate paperwork. It's a versatile little sucker, and the Surefire company also sells the batteries for keeping it running. The batteries are like $19.95 for 12, just FYI.

Batteries run out too quick...

excellent flashlight, long lasting batteries

This is my backup backup light-- i keep it in my bag. Wear a Stinger on my belt as backup. Surefire builds a great product, and at a typical price of $34-35, u can't beat it. I also keep one on the headboard as a house light. I was going to mount one on my shotgun with the accessory curly cord tail switch, but the plastic light body is too thick to fit the mount-- get an aluminum 6P.

Very good light. I carry this light on my belt at all times.

i have had a few flashlights in my time ,but the sure fire is the best i have encountered yet. they are great for cell searches.

Yeah. The only thing out there that delivers that much light is the G2L, and I'd get that one if I didn't already have this one. This is really a great light.

Very Nice little light grate for tactial light

Great flashlight. Extremely bright and lasts for a while on (2) 123 batteries. The only problem is that there is no dying time. You will think you have a while left on the batteries when all of sudden your flash light just stops working. Which does suck when you are attempting to do SFST. However it is a great light to have on my belt for a backup when I need to get out of the car fast and forget my Mag in the car.

Standard surefire features. Twist constant on or push temporary. It is bright, compact, and I got mine for about $30.00.

Dynomite does come in small packages. No reason not to have one with you, fits any pocket.

Very good light. Compact, bright, and durable!

Lightweight an battery last a long time

Hi Operators and Officers,
I purchase this light by Surefire as a personal Defense component, to my amazement it was a asset to my Off Duty Protection. It is very Bright an give you that surprisingly blinding shock to give you the advantage momentary; it is very lightweight, so I don't even know I have it on. Combined with the Speed holster and Tactical rings it is unlimited to the Holding styles commonly used in the Forces. I will not buy another light that is substandard again! Remember you have only 1*or 2*!

Great little light, but the batteries are a bit expensive.

What they say about this product is really true. It does "Light up my life."

Great Light!

carry one at work. Great little light to stick in my pocket and have when my other light goes out.

Bright light, compact, and tough.... the downside, the light uses (2) 3 volt batteries, which last exaxtley 1 hour burn time. When they go dead, you don't get a dim light, you get light one time, and none the next. Not a bad back-up light, but I wouldn't recommend using it everyday....it would get expensive buying batteries that you can't re-charge

One of my backup lights, i was suprised at its Lumen output for its size. I hear good things about the LED one..

I was taken back to see 116 flash lights on the Flash Light area...... because this is one of the only lights you'll ever need!!!

It has cool accessories but the batteries don't last long enough for their price.

Good light for when you forget to grab yours out of the charger...

I have one mounted on my AR-15. Highly recommend the LED upgrade.

This one and it's brother the P-6 are a great asset to have in the field. I went ahead and picked up the 120 lum bulb for mine. The only difference between the two is the body casing, one it poly highimpact plastic and the other is aircraft aluminum bodied. Great peice of gear!!!

Best product ever made, survived a combat tour in iraq and still kick'en.

I carried one of these lights for years on my Sam Browne Belt. It was handy to have one even on day shift when you would go into a house or building that wasn't lit. I currently have one attached to my AR-15 with an angle bracket. Using a pistol grip on the fore end, my thumb goes right to the button on the rear. Durable as hell. I've dropped my sevel times from way up and even ran over it once. Great light for the money.

Great light for tactical operations, but have plenty of spare batteries as you will need them.

Light weight, tough construction, bright light. To avoid wasting battery I flip the top battery upside down when not on duty (the button will get inadvertantly pushed and use battery).

LOVE IT! Ease of withdrawl from scabbard, quick and easy to use and compact. Light weight and comfy on the belt. My only problem is the assembly for the scabbard wasn't so easy to put together, only cuz either my nut or my screw wasn't deburred (for those not raised in a machine shop, the spiral part of the nut or screw had bits of debris in it)

This flashlight packs a lot more power than it may look like. The down side is the batteries are special and expensive.

Excellent item, easy one hand operation.

there is a lot of things that i could say but i would just be repeating what everyone else has said i am pretty hard on my gear and this light has never failed me i even droped it from the second floor it landed on concrete and bounced a few times not a scratch on it not only that but it works like the day that i bought it

Nice little piece of kit! Light is bright and intense at 65 lumens. Fits easily in hand for searches or low light shooting scenarios. Well built and rugged, it can take a pretty good amount of abuse. The tail cap switch is easy to use for momentary on/off or twist for constant light.

Great for the pocket while on duty! AS they say, "One is none and two is one". So make this your secondary light... It is very bright and small!

nice

Well thought out design. Carry this light on all assignments at all times either as my primary light or as a backup.

BEST COMPACT FLASHLIGHT. 10X BRIGHTER THAN A MAGLIGHT.

I really think this is a good light. I carry one on my duty belt.

Compact, bright, and great for dayshift units who never seem to have a flashlight when they need it. Go to surefire.com or atlantictachtical.com to get a 12pk of batteries for the best pricing.

good deal

Bright light works great. Goes through bat. a little fast and they are costly.

Awesome compact light. Mine has been dropped countless times, accidentally thrown a few times, and been through the washing machine once and still works just as good as the day i bought it. It burns through batteries like crazy so I would recommend getting the LED version or getting the LED replacement lamp. I got an LED replacement lamp a about 6 months ago and haven't put batteries in since. I work graveyard and use my light nightly...granted it's usually just seconds at a time, but with the normal lamp I was changing batteries about every month and a half or so.

Great light. Easy to handle in tactical situations. Very bright also.

I have used one of these for over a year now as a spare light and it is very bright, very easy to carry, and very rugged and reliable.

I used this light for 2 years while on the EOD team. THis light is small and rugged and super bright for the small size. This was a great light to use while I was on the team.

Great light not the brightest,
But for the money excellent

Super light weight

Bought the light while in Iraq. Served me very well. Changed over to the LED lamp. Batteries last a lot longer. Only down side is the light does not have the range of the regular lamp. Still very bright in close quarters. Light enough to hold in mouth when both hands are needed.

great backup light. travels everywhere i do. bright and light.

Good to have with you at all times!

good back up light, excellent output, but for continued use need to store up on the 123's

Very good light small and compact I carry it in my back pocket and never gets in the way. Very bright light easy to handle.

A great flashlight for a great price. I carry this as a secondary flashlight on duty

This is a great light. It is a perfect backup piece or can also be mounted on tactical rifles with little to no effort.. It's extremely bright and battery lasts a long time.

Great light. I carry one on my duty bely and it has the capability to really light up an entire room.

Great product, carried it in iraq, and i carry one now. Wouldn't leave home without it.

perfect backup flashlight

For the money, this light and the LED version are hard to beat!! The incandescent G2 throws a lot of light but the batteries do go fairly quick and without warning....the G2 LED throws more light but doesn't reach as far. The blinding factor is better though! And the electronics let you know that your batteries are winding down so you can move them to your backup backup backup light!!

I use this flash light. It puts off amazing light and it is certainly bright! The only reason I did not give it five stars is the batteries die suddenly. The other thing that could be improved is the light will sometimes turn on in the holster due to the spring when it is compressed. This also shortens the battery life.

I am very impressed with my light. i use it as a back up light on the S.R.T. It is very bright and fits in your hand just right. I only wish, I would have bought the rechargeable one.

Great little light! Only thing negative about it is that it eats through batteries, but overall it's good.

This is one of the best flashlights on the market. It is incredibly bright (60lumens with an optional 120 lumen bulb), compact and easy to carry, reliable and extremely rugged. My friend accidentally ran his over with an F150 pickup on a gravel road and it barely scuffed the exterior. Plus you can't beat the price. At around $35 this flashlight will give you the most bang for your buck. You even get a little over two hours of continuous run time from two CR123 lithium batteries!

Great lightweight, and very sturdy light. It can light up an entire room. It just does not have a long battery life.

This is a little lite with a big beam. I keep two in the house and put a new version with LED in the car. Compact, easy to carry, and a sure grip even when wearing gloves. But make sure those batteries are fresh, it gives no warning that it's dying.

Works very well, can't wait to own one : ) !

great light conld last a little bit longer

Undoubtedly the best tactical flashlight in the arsenal. The durability and power of this light are outstanding. I have used this light mounted as well as hand held with a sidearm and never had one problem.

Great lite as long as the batteries are good. Very bright and tough. I try to use it only when I need it because it seems to go dead after about 3 months of random use. I don't regret buying it. It was fairly cheap for a surefire.

This is a great flashlight.

I have 3 of these as back up lights to my Duty Lights of 3 other surefires and 1 Mag Charger

Bought a couple while I was stationed in Germany and another when I deployed to Romania. Great Light! Its only downfall is the batteries. It sucks U can only buy surefire batts. Oh well. Its a great light though!!!

Had one in Iraq. The only problem was the use of batteries. Goes threw them like nothing.

The perfect compact flashlight! This bad boy is BRIGHT! Perfect for checking out those bumps in the night. By flashing the "bad guy" right in the face you will gain valuable seconds because this thing WILL leave him disoriented. It does go through batteries quickly but a whole box of them is only about $20 direct off their website. I have one by my nightstand and one mounted on my Mossberg 500.

I bought my G2 in 2003 for duty use. I still use it on a daily/nightly basis in my current job. To date, my only complaints are 'battery life' and the lack of a 'lock out' switch to prevent accidental activation.

Best light I have ever owned, and lord knows I have been through a lot of them. Very dependable and bright. Tough as they get.

Great flashlight. Very bright and does not cost to much.

i love it small great light compact

Great light carry it everyday!

Great back up light, Last's about 1 hr max, battries are high to keep replacing them .

THIS LIL # IS VERY USEFUL WHEN YOUR OUT AND YOU FORGET A FLASHLIGHT YOU CAN KEEP THIS IN YOUR POCKET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great backup light. Only downside is the battery life is only so-so, but this is one bright and compact little guy!

great back up light!

An excellent product. There are two types now available - G2 Original (incan) and the G2L (LED). The LED version is much brighter and lasts longer. You can also get bulbs that are MUCH brighter. The G2L comes standard with an 80 lumen bulb that will run for 12 hours. You can purchase a "drop-in" bulb such as the M60 (www.malkoffdevices.com) which will give you 235+ lumens for 1.5 to 2 hours. It's BRIGHT!

Nice and compact. Comfortable grip and a nice bright beam great for any type of work and works great in small work paces.

Good little flashlight for the duty belt as long as you have extra batteries. The run time is 60 minutes but you can run this light over with a truck and it will still work. Fir the extra money I would buy the LED version.

Great light, will take a beating or give one. I have two, one with the 80 lumen LED lamp, run time is forever and one with the 120 lumen lamp, 20 min run time. The 120 willl almost burn a hole in somthing. Small, compact, and light weight. I have carried it and almost forgot I had it.

One of the two I take out, great light!

Love this light! I keep this in my duty rig. Very reliable, bright and compact. Does well in a marine environment if that helps!

I only give this flashlight a 3 star rating due to its very bright light. On the other hand the battery life is outrageously short. We have problems with the batteries for these lights in my sqaudron constantly.

Awesome light I have the led version of this light batt. time is 12hrs at 80 luminous use it all the time. They also make a 320 luminous led kit that last for 3hrs for all of you that have the regular 1hrs bulb.

This is a tough little light that will take a beating and keep on working. Some people complain that it's too bright. But it's a tactical light so it's supposed to be ridiculously bright. If you work with a bunch of jokers constantly flagging each other with these suckers that can be a problem. My only issue is the short battery life. So I tend to use this sparingly, and only in tactical situations. And I'll use something else for searching behind my couch or under my bed.

bright bright fits in palm of hand great light

Great light!

I have used this flashlight (both standaed and LED versions) for years while on active duty and it has served very well. The Nitrolon case is virtually indestructible and weather proof! It comes in various colors to fit the duty stuation. Has a decent output for a small flashlight and doesn't kill the batteries when used for long periods of time.

One of the brightest little flashlights that I've ever owned! Just as bright as my large Streamlight department issued flashlight, but not as cumbersome. Only downside is it drains the batteries pretty quick and the batteries are more expensive than regualar AA or AAA.

Fantastic light, not only compact but it is one of the brightest flash lights i have ever used.

Had it since Iraq, now it's on my duty belt. Indestructable, reliable, and inexpensive. 6 years with no issues.

Cheap, easy to use, and reliable; I've had one for 4 months brought it to the desert and it still works great. With an IR conversion filter this will even work well with your NVG's should you have them. Overall, great product and I got mine for 30$ at our shopette on my AF base. =)

very strong and dependable light

Great light all around, small compact and fits nicely in the hand. Very bright.

great light compact and dependable

The flashlight does put out a brilliant beam! Very compact but took a little time to get use to the switch because if you twist it it will turn on the light so you have to be careful if you get a holster that you have to pull it out of because it would sometimes turn it on.

Has never let me down, one of the few things my former Inspector got right. =]

Good light, but the batteries only last for an hour on the incandescent model. The LED lamp lasts much longer and does not get as hot.

Great light for the price, the only flaw is poor battery life.

nice i like.

nice.

Great product, I just wish the battery life on this sucker last longer.

Awesome light, adds almost no weight to the duty belt, very durable and bright !
