in the 'world of SELF-DEFENSE'!!! GANG,I'M A 'TEAM-PLAYER'
so I BOUGHT A 'SURE-FIRE' "p-6 defender" [which by the way 'sports' that 'strike-bezal']
all -n-all the BRASS HAMMER REVIEW must rate it at a #3 [OUT OF 10]
it takes the #123 batterys/SPECIAL-LATTERN BULBS!!![60 MINUTES@60 LUMENS/I bought the 120 lumun 'bulb' along with the 'spare-carrier'it was kept in my A-R 15 'roll-out-vest',,,UNTIL TONIGHT!!!]
seems I dropped my P-6 'strike-bezal' from waist-hieght at the model-A, and 'poof' [HELLO DARKNESS MY OL'FRIEND!],,,besides,the batterys are 'crap'
it's over priced/rated!!!!
in MY LEARNERED 'view' GO WITH A "TRI-CELL" AAA L.E.D. belt-light[50 hours useable-function/NO BULB-BREAKAGE] :argue:

I have a standard 6P (no strike bezel) and like it rather much. I carry it daily. I left the 60 lumen bulb in it for run time. I haven't dropped it fom waist height yet, I'm sure it will eventually happen. I'm happy with mine. Your batteries are crap because of that big bulb. Get the 9P, it has a standard 100 lumen bulb using 3 batteries and still runs an hour. There is always an extension for the 6P that gives it one more battery, that will get your run time back up.

I got my standard 6P for about $45, and I hadn't planned on gouging some BGs eyeball out. I was thinking blind him and then take my time with something else, maybe send his testicles up through his abdomen to about his throat. I know, it's dirty, but survival can be a dirty business.

I've carried a Surefire of some iteration since before they were Surefir. I have a LAser Products weaponlight on my Beretta, and have several handhelds. Maybe you just had a bad bulb Brass. I used my 6P to remove a drunk broad's driver side window before pulling her through it one night, no damage to the light. I started carrying the G2 Nitrolon not long after that, and it's been beat, dropped, kicked, and thrown all to hell and has worked like a champ. Get a new bulb and see how it does. If it breaks again or you decide you still don't like it, let me know. I'll buy it off you for fully half what you paid.;)

I have several surfires and several streamlights too. I actually find the streamlight on my belt or in my pocket more often than the surefire. Not sure why, just works out that way....

WAY better than buying them in a store, where they go for $4+ each
