Surefire fake?

So no one has proof that there are any counterfeits.

Just put "Fake Surefire Flashlight" in the search and you'll see videos and discussions on AR15.com and Candlepower Forums and more.

I'm out of the loop on all things SureFire. They lost me when they were so incredibly slow adopting LED technology and the market has grown very large since I was still breaking incandescent lamps in my SureFire pretty much every night shoot. I suppose if I were going somewhere where I had limited resources and resupply was not an option, I might be more inclined to reconsider SureFire. I'd be motivated to be wary of counterfeits then.

There was a big surge in fakes when everyone wanted to rig up their carbines with name brand parts but didn't have $400 for a flat dark earth flashlight and $1000 for a tactical optic.

It's very important to look cool!

Yours looks legit to me from the pictures in your other thread.
How does it feel in hand? Have you got any other Surefires to compare it to?

Nope first time surefire owner.
