View Full Version : First Surefire
My brother came up for christmas and gave me one heck of a gift, a surefire G2. Perfect to marry up with my G21. I know that it isn't the top of the line surefire, but it is a surefire none the less. I had always read posts about how blinding these little buggers are, so I had to see for myself. Yes, I was about blinded, lol. I was even in a well lit room when I lit this thing up in my face and I couldn't hardly see a thing from the big dot in my vision after only a second of light. That was even with the lower power bulb, I'm thinking about getting one of the high output bulbs for it, I bet that would nearly burn out someones corneas, lol. Okay, I'm done with my rant, I'm just excited about my new toy and had to share it.

Buy extra batteries.
And get some low light training :thumbsup:
All SureFire products fall into the, "Oh, wow!" category. :thumbsup:
Indeed, work through the scenarios with your SF and G21, and hope you never need them!. ;)

Yeah, I have a couple of sets of batteries, and low light practice is high on my list now. I just need somewhere that gives training on it. There aren't really mannny shooting ranges around here that offer it, at least that I know of. But it is deffinately better to have that sitting on my safe ready to go rather than my old maglite. Even if I'm not completely trained on all of the tactics of a white light. I think that I will be able to effectively use it if the situation ever rises, which I hope it never does.
A holster for the G2, a Glock 9mm magazine pouch, put the pouch in the sink, pour boiling water on it, force nose of flash light in to it, repeat till it fits good.
It will still work as a mag: pouch for daylight matches.
How to use G2 as a hand held sighting in the dark tool.
Hold G2 as though it is a fencing foil, lens pointing to the front, hold pistol in a one hand grip, aim pistol as you would holding in two hands, pull rear switch into knuckles of shooting hand, pull for on, release for off, it is in the Surefire tactics book as the Hargreaves Lite Touch.

There is a lot of training going on in Ohio! Larry Vickers and Ken Hackathorn are putting on a low light/no light class here: http://www.m4carbine.net/showthread.php?t=2104

Nice! My first was an E2e. I later got a G2. I don't worry about losing the G2 as much since they are more reasonably priced, but I like to carry the E2. Surefire lights are great and I also like my Streamlight Scorpion, which is also an affordable light. Get plenty of batteries and enjoy! It won't be your last SF. :banana:

I started out with a Surefire G2. Then I bought a used E2E for a great price...then bought an E1E.....bought another E2E for the Fiance......then bought a L4 for me....and somehow this Christmas I ended up receiving another G2. :supergrin:
GREAT Flashlights in my opinion. Buy lots of batteries! :thumbsup:
