I will pay $20+ shipping for any surefire weapon that is in working condition.
$35 + shipping if it includes IR capabilities. You don’t want your buddies at the gun range to think you are a commie do you? |

Works for me. Bring every single one of these companies that are run by traitorous fucks out into the light.
I don't care if I'm stuck with one single manufacturer to shop with, I won't shop at places that give our money away to gun grabbers. Keep'em coming boys! Good job OP. |

Wow. It really is amazing how many gun stuff companies are donating to anti gun people.
Makes you really wonder, doesn't it? I have one surefire product and I'll keep it, but I'm not going to buy anything else from them. Been spreading the word around about benchmade, will spread the word about surefire. I am my friend's gun/knife nerd and they do listen to me a lot when they ask what they should buy.....and they are educated about the perils of leftist agenda (and pissed about it). |

I've used Streamlights on my handguns and have had no complaints. I was issued a TLR-1HL at work and it's pretty damn bright.

The tlr1 at 800 lumen IS smaller than the x300u. Sure you lose 200 lumen, but 800 is stupid bright as it is. Quote HistoryQuoted:

It has a nice beam pattern and intensity for being fairly small. |

This is how you grease wheels, they are supporting the enemy. Again, if they are going to pay people to ass fuck you vs. just ass fucking you personally whats the difference?

In the past they stated they would not do any business in a city that is anti-gun. But now with Las Vegas and Nevada becoming anti-gun due to recent elections they have backtracked on that statement and are stating that they are staying in Las Vegas for future shows.

the BIG mistake many people make, is assuming that a firearms manf or firearms related product manuf is actually pro 2A.
To many of them, its just a lucrative business, nothing more and they will lick whatever boot that helps kick the can down the road. I have close family, that are a medium sized online firearms dealer, which are flaming anti-gun liberals! |

I suspect every company that does business with anything government contracts has invested in anti-gun/anti-freedom over the years just to grease the skids. Payola in another name, just a matter of how butthurt the proletariat gets from those actions.

Quote HistoryQuoted:
It really isn't that surprising to see a number of gun companies donate to anti-gun politicians. The reason why is because they are in it for government contracts. That is their bread and butter. The idea of there being an industry that only caters to the civilian Market doesn't mean a large profit margin for them since politically there is a constant attack on that industry. Even the NSSF, which is the representative lobbying group for the Firearms industry has openly and actively supported the bump stock ban and even backs Universal background checks.
