Light Weapon!
After trying this fellow out on both a G19 and an AR15, I have to say it far exceeds my expectations. I played around with some other weapon lights but this guy is in its own class.
It mounts on my G4 G19 like it was designed specifically for the gun. A rock solid perfect fit. On the AR, it clings fiercely to a short rail I mounted on my Magpul handguard. Again, a smooth integrated look and feel.
So is it too much of anything? Only price, perhaps, but given that it works fine as a single-output 500 lumen flashlight, I guess that makes it about $50 more than a regular Surefire.
There are a couple ways to judge the brightness since that is a question often asked. For starters, is there too much light? Is that possible? Of course it is, but in this case, unless you are staring into your own weapon light, or hit a mirror at point blank, the amount of light all good for several reasons, and an integrated light makes it even better. But keep in mind this...
As expected - great quality, easy to mount, and BRIGHT!
The previous Surefire light (x300) was a very high-quality light, as you can see by the many high reviews. This one (Surefire x300 Ultra) is basically the same, but MUCH brighter. (besides the slight bevels on the end of the light, which look cool, but do nothing that I can tell).
Pros:
-incredibly sturdy feel
-easy to mount
-easy to install/replace batteries
-comes with the 2 required batteries
-SO bright (500 lumens vs the previous 170)
-price - though $299 seems a pretty hefty price for a light, when you consider the previous version (170 lumens) is $275, I'd consider paying only an additional $24 dollars for 500 lumens to be a great deal.
-ambidextrous (can use with right or left hand easily as it has a switch on both sides)
-still fits in the same holster as the x300
Cons:
-personally, I would rather the left switch be a hold-down-on switch instead of a push-and-stay-on switch (then keep the right the same as it...
Surefire X300 Ultra If one is good then 2 has to be better
This is the most intense light I have ever owned I mounted it to my M-4 carbine and it is totally amazing I live out in the country and I have a small pasture behind my house my dogs like to bay pigs at night and this light illuminates the entire pasture making it quite easy to eliminate pesky pigs or any other varmint that may come around either 2 or 4 legged.I cant think of anything negative to say about this fine illumination tool. I highly recomend purchasing this light its worth every penny you pay for it between this light and my Surefire Fury PX-2 Tactical I feel like I could light up the world.02/09/13 I ordered one for my wifes Valentines gift for her M-4 and she loves it.4-13-13 Heres an update I just bought 2 more of these AWESOME LIGHTS one for my G-19 and one for the wifes G-19 These must be the best weapon lights on the market they are so impressive I havnt seen anything that compares to Surefires Quality or Dependability!!!
