Fountain Valley, CA — SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-performance illumination tools, suppressors, and tactical products, is honored to produce the first ever commemorative flashlight celebrating Freedom Alliance’s 25th anniversary. This limited-edition 500 max lumens flashlight features red, silver, and blue coloring in a stars-and-stripes motif; Freedom Alliance’s bald eagle logo; and each flashlight is inscribed with the signature of Freedom Alliance Founder Lt. Colonel Oliver North USMC (retired) and engraved with an individual serial number for collection purposes. A portion of all proceeds from the sales of these collectable flashlights will be donated by SureFire to Freedom Alliance to support the organization’s mission of providing college scholarships to the children of wounded and fallen heroes of America’s Armed Forces.
“SureFire is proud to support Freedom Alliance and what it does for the sons and daughters of these great Americans.” said Jeff Barger, VP of Commercial Sales and Marketing. “Producing this commemorative flashlight is our way of honoring Freedom Alliance’s 25 years of service while also giving back to these children and making sure that their parents’ sacrifices are not forgotten.”
The Freedom Alliance 25th Anniversary flashlight is based on SureFire’s best-selling P2X Fury®. Like the Fury, its virtually indestructible LED produces two useful output levels—a blinding 500-lumen beam and a 15-lumen beam for tasks that don’t require as much light—both of which are controlled by a click-on/off tailcap switch. A precision reflector smoothes and shapes the light at either level into a flawless beam with plenty of reach and more than enough surround light for maintaining good situational awareness. The blue and red coloring on the 25th Anniversary light is both decorative and protective—its Mil-Spec hard anodizing is nearly as hard as diamond.
The SureFire Freedom Alliance 25th Anniversary Commemorative Flashlight has an MSRP of $239 and is available directly from SureFire. These collectible flashlights will begin shipping in May of 2015, but preorders are currently being accepted at surefire.com, and orders placed before April 30th qualify for free shipping. This is a limited-edition item, so once supplies are gone it will no longer be available. For more information visit:

Last week, I got a peek at SureFire’s new Closed Tine Flash Hider.
Manufactured at the request of a military customer, the Flash Hider part SFCT-556-1/2X28, works with the SOCOM556 series of suppressors. The “SFCT” in the part number denotes SureFire Closed Tine, the 556 is the caliber and the 1/2×28 is for Mil-Spec 1/2-28 muzzle thread. If it looks somewhat familiar to you, that’s becuase it is. This is an updated version of the same flash hider they have had for years for the legacy suppressor line, part number FH556-212A (NSN: 1005-01-554-3051).
Many will find two advantages to a Closed Tine design. First, the Flash Hider is much less likely to catch on foliage and second, you lose the distinctive “ting” sound produced while firing an open tine muzzle device.
Above, you can see the suppressor alignment lug at the 6 O’clock position. Additionally, the bottom of the flash hider is closed (like an A2 flash hider) which reduces dust signature when firing.
SureFire has released two off-set 1913-compatible mounts for Scout Light models, the RM45 and RM45L. Both mounts are made of aerospace aluminum, hard anodized with Mil-Spec Type III finish. The mounts position the light in the off-set positions between the rails of a 1913 forend, decreasing weapon profile and limiting snag factor. The RM45 is designed to accept Scout Light models equipped with a thumbscrew clamp. The RM45L is designed for Scout Light models equipped with the wider footprint Swing-Lever clamp.
Both mounts are available in Black and Tan.

The new Picatinny compatible M600 AA Scout Light can be powered by AA lithium or AA alkaline batteries, the latter of which are typically more readily available globally.
“The M600 AA’s ability to be powered by two separate types of batteries is a key element to its anticipated success,” said SureFire Product Manager Chris Skahill. “For optimal performance, AA lithiums can be used. But it can also be powered by AA alkalines, which are more readily available and usually easier to find, particularly in remote or rural areas.”
Powered by two lithium AAs, the M600 AA’s solid-state light emitting diode (LED) generates a maximum output of 200 lumens and produces tactical-level output for up to 3.75 hours on a set of batteries. The output and runtime from two AA alkaline batteries is approximately one-third that from lithium AAs, but this reduced output/runtime is theoretically outweighed by the convenience of using these easier-to-find and often less-expensive power cells. But to maximize output and runtime, SureFire recommends powering the M600 AA with lithium batteries whenever possible.
The M600 AA uses a proprietary Total Internal Reflection (TIR) lens to shape the LED’s output into a smooth, flawless beam with ample reach and enough surround light to maintain good situational awareness in close- to medium-range applications. Like all SureFire Scout Lights, it securely attaches to any MIL-STD-1913 rail, the M600 AA utilizing an integral thumbscrew clamp that attaches/detaches the light to said rail in a matter of seconds. Constructed of lightweight aerospace aluminum that’s hard anodized with a Mil-Spec finish for added durability, this new Scout Light can be easily activated via its momentary-/constant-on click-type tailcap switch, or via several remote plug-in switch models available for purchase from SureFire as optional accessories.
The M600 AA Scout Light has an MSRP of $299.00 and is currently available for purchase through authorized SureFire dealers. It will also soon be available for purchase directly from SureFire by calling 800-828-8809 or visiting surefire.com online.
