    It’s like selling basketballs, but there’s no basketball goals or courts anywhere that are worth a shit.

    Im always amused by how long the 60 lumen light was the standard. To hear the talk of lumens these days youd might as well have stuck a birthday candle to your rail. Now you either can illuminate a 10 acre field or youre airsoft

    Truth. I had a 6z on my belt and a 6p on my gun for years and never once thought "dang, this sucks". Oh, I still have them but replaced the heads with Malkoff heads.....

    I still have an old 60-lumen retina scorcher on one of my guns.

    But Now I cant remember if the 60 lumens was the original output or was that with the supped up P61 bulb assembly?

    I still have a 90s vintage surefire forend on my 870.

    Ive probably only put 100rds through that gun since the 90s lmao

    I think you guys are on to something, the NSSF needs to start getting its crap together and the manufacturers need to start giving it some horsepower to really do things and speak with one Industry Voice. After all, when manufacturers talk, that's JOBS talking, and constituents don't like you when you make their job go away...

    I remember when the 6P and G2(X)? hit 150 lumens and we thought we were ballin'. In fact I still have one of the 150 lumen Surefire's on a rifle, the 60 lumen incandescent Surefire it replaced has been in my truck since and still works.
