St Patrick’s Day Scout Light
Monday, March 19th, 2012SureFire Sonic Defenders Max
Friday, March 16th, 2012
The new EP5 Sonic Defenders Max from SureFire offer “full-block” hearing protection. They utilize a soft, adjustable, hypoallergenic triple-flanged stem to seal the ear canal and block out potentially harmful sounds, providing a Noise Reduction Rating (NRR) of 26dB. I’ve been using SureFire EP3 Sonic Defenders for years and I’m glad to see this new upgrade. They are very low profile and quite comfortable because of the EarLock design that conforms to the ear’s natural shape to “lock” the earplug in place. SureFire claims you can wear them sleeping but I haven’t had to do that yet.
Sonic Defenders aren’t disposable but their service life is only intended to be 3 – 6+ months based on usage and storage. They come with a small storage case and a polymer lanyard.
Available in Small, Medium, and Large in Black, Orange or Clear.

SureFire Magazine Pockets
Tuesday, March 13th, 2012High Capacity Magazine pockets are available directly from SureFire for both the 60 and 100 round variants but only in Coyote. Many have been asking for pockets in other colors so SureFire authorized FirstSpear (their manufacturer) to offer them. PALS compatible and available in Black, Khaki, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.
AN/PEQ-16A Mini-IPIM (MIPIM) Light Upgrade
Monday, March 5th, 2012SureFire is like an iceberg. You only get to see a little bit of what they are doing and they are always working on lots of cool stuff behind the scenes like these adapters for the AN/PEQ-16A Mini-IPIM (MIPIM).
They’ve developed two adapters. The first accepts a scout light head to the MIPIM giving you 200 lumens of illumination over the 100 lumen lamp that comes with the PEQ-16A.
The second adapter accepts the Vampire head which combines both white light (150 lumens) and IR (120 lumens) in a single piece. The user simply twists the lockout dial to choose the desired lamp.
As you can see, there are two variants of the Vampire light adapter. Variant 1 just accepts the light and Variant 2 features a small hole (that you can see in the photos) at the rear of the adapter to accept a SureFire remote tape switch. This will bypass the MIPIM’s controls and allow you to use the remote switch to control the light. One other advantage to adapting the Vampire head to the MIPIM is that you gain an eyesafe IR illuminator.
In the case of either style, the lights can still be controlled by the buttons on top or the MIPIM remote switch.
We know that SureFire follows SSD so if this is something you need, leave a comment here and they’ll see it.
The SureFire Push Dagger – From the Horse’s Mouth
Sunday, March 4th, 2012We broke the story on the SureFire Push Dagger during our SHOT Show coverage.
Here, Steve Ryan, director of SureFire’s Edged Weapons Division discusses why they designed the Push Dagger with an asymmetric edge. It’s a 7075 aluminum handle paired with a ATS 34 blade to keep weight down. The push dagger design allows for thrusting as well as slashing. He also explains in a round about way that it’s their entry into the latest trend of last ditch fighting knives for our troops. Most are more traditional narrow-blade dagger designs or even spikes. SureFire went a different route.

SureFire Wristlight
Friday, January 20th, 2012in development for over a year, the Wristlight does exactly what the name implies. It puts a light on your wrist. The light actually emits at an angle away from the wrist rather than straight forward due to ergonomics.
Below is a prototype of a model integrating a watch. However, the production version probably won’t include a Traser watch. It’s not the price. It just takes up too much real estate on the wrist.
