SureFire 6Z for $49

I've been looking at that since I got the sale info in my email. Already having a 3P and 8X, and soon to have an E1 - I have to wonder, is it really worth getting? The 8X, IIRC, does 110 lumens for about an hour. The 6Z only does 65, although it does look cool. On the other hand, the 6Z looks easier to hold on to and the lanyard rings fit it(is there a ring that fits the 8X?). I'm always worried about dropping my 8X into the river(work security at a shipyard, already dropped a pair of safety glasses over and I keep a tight grip on the radio!). $49 is a good price, and with the E1 coming I might get rid of the 3P... Is it worth going for? Can it be converted to rechargable batteries like the 6P can?

You can also get the P61 120 lumens lamp assembly for the 6Z. Yes, it's convertible to rechargeable use.

Whether it's worth it is up to you.

Every so often I wonder if my M6 is worth the nearly $300 I spent on it...and then I turn the darned thing on and I say "Ohhhhhhhhhhh yeessssss..".

I turn my 12PM on and think the same thing!

I'm after a couple E1's, and an M2...

I'd love an M6, but will wait with baited breath for the M2000.

I hope they make a polymer E2!
 
6z is worth every penny - especially since that price is below wholesale.

Insert witty quip here
 
I got two...by accident. Botach double shipped my order. They called me at 3:30am while I was sleeping to let me know this fact. Then when I called back (later in the morning when I was actually awake) they didn't recall calling at all (even though I had a voicemail with a timestamp). It seemed as though I was supposed to return the double shipped merch. on my own coin. Finally after much nagging I arranged to return the unwanted goods.

Very good deal on the light...so so customer service == you get what you pay for sometimes.

WHERE CAN I GET SUREFIRES CHEAPLY AND RELIABLY?!!

I've used Botach before with no problems, but from what I've heard, they sometimes take a while to send stuff.

My next order has to be in the New York area before the 21st October so my Girlfriend can collect it from where she's going to be staying. I've emailed, checked and re-checked that they have E1's in stock, and can meet my deadline. I'm going to be spending almost $400 so they better get it right!

Tanners, UWS and LPS all have trouble getting everything on my list (esp the E1's).
I need:

E1 (x2)
M2 (x1)
P61 (x1)
N62 (x1)
Z41 (x1)
12B (x3)

What I also want, but can't get:

MN01 (x2) 15Lu lamp for E1
MN61 (x1) 350Lu lamp for M4

The MN01 is not yet in stock, and Botach doesn't do the SureFire M4 or the MN60 & MN61 Lamp Modules.

So I'll have to wait for those...

I'm very tempted to get an M3 & MN11 while I'm at it ($178.50 = £122), but I'm really using all my $$$(£££) already!

(Plus $30 shipping, inc. M3 & MN11, my total would be $572 or £393!!!) Oh dear...
