True Stories

While in Iraq, my unit did a lot of personal security for the 49th MP brigade, so we were all over the place. In the beginning, we had lasers to warn traffic, but when we received our SureFire M900-Series WeaponLights, we really started to get the attention of the locals. These lights were so incredibly effective at stopping traffic, they even caused an accident or two. It was a shame we had to turn them in to the new unit.

I now own three SureFire flashlights, and I swear by them. Thanks for making such outstanding products, SureFire.

As a member of the fulltime SWAT team, I was recently dispatched to a hostage barricade situation where shots had been fired. I am a member of the counter-sniper team, and my partner and I were deployed to cover the front of the residence. Upon reaching our observation point, I detected movement to the left of our position. I let my partner know, and I continued to cover that direction with my M4 assault rifle outfitted with a SureFire M900 WeaponLight. I then saw the suspect, who was wondering the perimeter of the house, looking for law enforcement officers.

On command, both my partner and I lit up the suspect with our M900 lights and verbally commanded him to surrender. The suspect immediately dropped to the ground and yelled, "Don't shoot me, I give up!" We took the suspect into custody without further incident. Upon debriefing, the suspect stated that, due to the blinding lights, he thought he was surrounded by a much larger group than two people.

I would like to personally thank Surefire for making such a great products and for making my job that much safer
