Surefire Tactical Shotgun Light Evaluations

We have many years experience with the surefire product line and can't really think of a bad thing to say about it. Our employees use Surefire products at the store and while on duty, for work and for play. We have only been able to break one or two of them. In fact we ran over a 6p with a Dixie Chopper mower. The only thing it did was take a couple of really big chunks out of the tube and bezel. We replaced the bulb and still use it 2 years later.

The shotgun integral weapons light is a great add on accessory for anyone with a real need for an entry package. Or if you simply want to light things up on the home front.  All our duty shotguns have the Surefire light installed on them. They are between 7 years and 3 months old without one unit breaking down.  Without a spanner wrench they are a little bit of a pain to install. Without the wrench you must remove your magazine tube from the receiver. Otherwise a straight forward install. Same goes for the install of the Picatinny replacement rails. They too are a nice new addition to your shotgun should you wish to add a vertical grip and/light.  Please note should you choose not to install a vertical grip on the rail, use a Tac glove . Just a few sharp edges for the some of our group (me).

X200A Led Great little light. Not as bright as the M3 or the Z5, but the batteries and bulb are like the energizer Bunny. They just keep going and going no matter what I do to it.  I changed out my weapons light on my Duty Glock to the X200. After 6 months, still same batteries, several rain storms and one skid across the interstate. Has a little road rash but still works great.
