True Stories

While in Iraq and Afghanistan, I learned to trust my M951 WeaponLight on my M4 for a multitude of tasks—from spotting wild dogs at 300 yards to searching vehicles to simply lighting the way to my post at night. It was such a great light that I missed it once back home, so I got one, with the P61 ultra high-output lamp, for my home-defense AR15.

I live in a pretty rough area, and there have been multiple robberies, burglaries, assaults, and even murders nearby. Over the past three years, there have been four such attempts on my home, once by two armed men. On each occasion, I was able to pull out my AR15 and dazzle the intruders with the attached M951 WeaponLight, stopping the intruders dead in their tracks each time. It never ceases to amaze me how an intense light will stun people and render them completely helpless. Thanks to my SureFire M951, I've never had to fire my weapon, leaving the dirty work to the police.

The quality of SureFire is unsurpassed, and that statement is not limited to flashlight manufacturers. I have gone on to purchase many more SureFire lights, and I will undoubtedly give my business to SureFire in the future.

While stationed in Iraq with the 3rd 116th Infantry as a convoy commander, we were leaving Taji at night, en route to pick up additional vehicles in Baghdad, when the alternator burned out in my armored security vehicle. During the quick stop in Baghdad en route back to Al Taqaddum, the mechanic told me I had a good chance of making it back to Al Taqaddum as long as the batteries maintained their charge. Well, with 150 miles left to travel, the vehicle lights went black, as did the radio communications, and my driver nearly hit a highway divider. So I used my SureFire M951 WeaponLight mounted on my weapon to illuminate the road all the way back to Al Taqaddum. An hour and three quarters later we made it back—and my M951 still had enough power to illuminate the path back to our cans. That's one tough light.
