    The X300 Ultra needed to be made and I will order one immediately.

    The regular X300 is not enough light for outside rural situations with a 14.5" or longer gun.

    I always thought an "Irish" version of the m900 VFG weapon light would do well in the marketplace.

    The monster can looks a little cheesey.

    Cheers

    I saw the can with the spikes/teeth and laughed. I don't know...just seems like one of the top-ten features added by manufacturers that cater to the Zombie-Apoc crowed.

    I had a breacher muzzle-device on an 870 Police of mine a few years ago until I found that the spikes didn't do much accept destroy nylon gear and cases.

    Exactly what I was thinking. Will work perfectly on my Commando.

    Glad to see the 500 though.

    I know that muzzle strikes are a tool taught by some, and if you have a can they are less effective (same force over larger, blunter, area) so I dunno if the can spikes are an attempt to address that or what. Since it's Surefire, and not Eotech with their blatant zombie reticule, I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt.

    Yeah, I'm guessing its designed that way for specific user groups and purposes...striking/breaking through glass.

    I've been asking around online to see if some one can answer or at least find out.

    Also, does it look like they've reengineered their x-series mounts to a thumbscrew? I love the x300, but getting it one and off my rifle rail sucks.

    I punched my AAC can through glass and scratched the shit out of it.

    I believe it was mentioned last year that one of the units/groups that use Surefire cans (I guess that is not very specific) requested the crenelations for muzzle striking. I imagine in their line of work not everyone needs a bullet.
