I have the C2 (Black), M2 (HA) and the
new M2 (HA).
The new M2 Bezel is larger than the C2. However;
The aim of the
new M2 Bezel is for Shock Isolation using SureFire's Shock Aborbing System (S.A.S.).
This means that all the Millennium Series Flashlights are now Shock Isolated. (M2/M3/M3T/M4/M6)
I can not stress enough just how effective the M2 S.A.S. is! I'm shocked at what this flashlight can take. This flashlight lets you get on with worrying about what you're doing rather than about the flashlight.
The Bezel is larger - longer (~10mm) and wider (~5mm). It adds a satisfying "toughness" which is what it is(!)
I don't see this as a problem at all. Especially after carrying it around and using it. Why? Because you can abuse this flashlight
.
It's ability to withstand more than I ever think you'll need it to take make it perfect for those who have to rely on their tools.
Shelby Chan's Photo from
www.PK-Engineering.com shows one of the proto-types of the new M2 and an C2.
I've field-tested a proto-type like this.
The cooling fins have been added to help cool the flashlight (!) [It does get hot], to reduce weight & I suppose to help break up the Bezel size as well as create a practical design 'style' for the Millennium Series.
I am
VERY Impressed with the
new M2!
