The SureFire MAG5-60 in Action

Tuesday, July 19th, 2011

SureFire fans Patriot36 produced this demonstration of the MAG5-60 with an M16A2, LWRC SBR, and FN SCAR. All-in-all, they are well built magazines; manufactured to spec. Unfortunately, the team didn’t demonstrate the compatibility of the magazines with out-of-spec receivers. As with the PMAG, this has been the only issue we have seen with the SureFire magazines. However, they do run like a sewing machine in mil-spec weapons. The problem isn’t with the magazines. They are built properly. It’s the guns that shooters try to use them with that are the issue. Normally, out-of-spec guns rifles wouldn’t be a problem but the USMC’s adoption of the M27 IAR from H&K has made this a bit of an issue, despite the Marines’ purchase of a fairly small numbers of this 416 variant.

Team SureFire Sweeps MGM Ironman 3-Gun

Friday, June 10th, 2011

SureFire has announced that Team SureFire kicked ass at the 2011 MGM Ironman 3-Gun competition (okay, they didn’t use those exact words) with womenâ€™s captain, Maggie Reese, menâ€™s captain Barry Dueck and co-captain Mike Voigt, all repeating as champions in their divisions.

“Last year’s championship was a blur because we shot over three long days in rough conditions,â€ said Reese, who just started shooting competitively four years ago. “This year I was able to focus and just get the job done while enjoying the match along the way. It was fantastic!â€

Team SureFire, also features 10-time multi-gun national champion and Open Division shooter, Michael Voigt, and the 3-Gun Nation tour points leader and team captain, Barry Dueck, who already has two tour wins this year in the Heavy Optics Division. Dueck and Voigt were also teammates on USAâ€™s 2008 IPSC World Shoot team where they took top honors in the Modified Division.

SureFire also sponsors other shooters around the country like world record pistol shooter, Max Michel, who recently won the Double Tap Championship. Other 3-gun shooters who proudly wear the SureFire logos on their jersey are Team FNH and Taran Butler (5-time National Champion).

Congrats!

SureFire Rail Adapter for 1911

Friday, May 13th, 2011

Although SureFire’s MR07 Adapter Mount has been around for some time, the M1911’s Centennial has brought a renewed interest in the firearm as well as several new models introduced that retain the original design characteristics. With these models, in order to utilize a weapon light, you need a rail adapter and the MR07 fits the bill

One of the big advantages to the MR07 is that it does not require any permanent changes to the pistol and it can be restored to its original condition at any time. The mount is made from 7000 series aluminum and is low profile enough to fit most GI-style holsters.

The MR07 attaches via a modified slide stop and pin assembly machined from pre-hardened chrome-molybdenum steel. The pin fit is match-grade. The trigger guard locking wedge is energy absorbent polyurethane, avoiding metal-to-metal contact, and can be tightened with a cartridge rim meaning no hex wrench is necessary. Additionally, a spacer shim is provided to accommodate manufacturing variations in the trigger guard thickness. Finally, it features an anti-chafing pad to prevent scoring of the dust cover.

Limited Edition Task Force Dagger Foundation Knife from SureFire

Monday, May 2nd, 2011

SureFire has teamed up with the Task Force Dagger Foundation (TFDF) to offer a special-edition Echo knifeâ€”engraved with the TFDF logoâ€”for the reduced price of $150. Twenty-five dollars from every sale will go to the Task Force Dagger Foundation to assist USASOC soldiers and their families who are experiencing financial difficulties.

I’ve had an Echo knife for almost two years and really like it. It’s a sturdy design and the Tan sheath can be adapted for use with virtually any load carrying system by using Bawidamann’s PALS Universal Platform. Some don’t like the small serrated edge segment on the blade but I don’t mind it one bit. It’s a great duty fixed blade and is being offered at a fantastic price. If that alone wasn’t enough to convince you to pick one up then the donation to the Task Force Dagger Foundation ought to clench the deal. Get yours at www.SureFire.com.

SureFire HellFighter 4

Friday, April 29th, 2011

SureFire will be exhibiting the new HellFighter 4 (HF4) weapon light next week at Warrior Expo West. Intended as a weaponlight / searchlight / IR illuminator, the HF4 features two settings; High: 3,000 lumens and Low: 1,000 lumens and also offers a strobe setting.

The biggest improvement is the internal rechargeable lithium ion battery pack that will run the HF4 at full output for 30 minutes which is in addition to the 12v vehicle or BA-5590 power adapters. Additionally, the HF4 features a dual swing-open filter/cover system, allowing white light, filtered infrared, or an opaque protective cover. Finally, the HF4â€™s reflector has also been modified to improve beam reach and offer wider peripheral light for situational awareness.

SureFire has ingeniously integrated the carrying handle for dismounted use into the weapon mount. The mount itself has also been modified to include both the original heavy-duty T-rail clamp as well as an intermediary adapter mount that permits attaching the HF4 to a Picatinny rail. The HF4 kit includes mounting hardware and tools as well as power cables. For a full list of features and tech data check out this product brochure.
