RANT Alert - I'm upset with Surefire for giving me several lights that have failed.
"Illumination tools and accessories designed to meet the demanding needs of high-risk professionals. Tested and relied upon in the world's harshest conditions."
Straight from their E-mail response.... where they also asked me to pay for return shipping.
I've had a G2X quit working before l and also an X300Ultra (with less than 200 rounds of 9mm over it) not sure why on each.
Just had my 6PX Defender Quit working. Again, no idea why.
Surefire wants me to pay for return shipping. No thanks...
On the other hand, I've only had one issue with my Chinese made Streamlight lights (it was a ProTac 2L, and streamlight sent me a new tail cap for free with no questions asked). Guess I'll just stick with them and not get stuck paying ridiculous prices for Surefire stuff that's going to fail me when I need it out on patrol.
Sorry if the post is jumbled.... I'm just super pissed.
I know Surefire has great products, but apparently I've been getting "Friday evening" flashlight builds all the time. They keep breaking on me! And I don't abuse them.
All of these lights failed within 1 years use. Two of them failed within 7 months use.
Would like to hear your experiences. On the other hand, I had 3 more X300Ultra's that were perfect.... but with a track record like this, I've made the switch to streamlight.
I have 3 TLR-1HL's, 2 Stinger LED HL's, 3 stylus pro's (my favorite), a polystinger DS LED, and that ProTac 2L that had a problem with the tail cap (And streamlight sent me a new one for free with no questions asked)
Again, I'd like to hear your experiences. I'm sure a bunch of you guys have good things to say about Surefire. But I don't, and the fact that they turned up their nose when I asked for a new light kinda of made it a lot worse.
