EDIT: Disregard. Surefire registered their own PAC, which some individuals donated to. Then the PAC that Surefire controls donated to these Democrats. Flame on! |

No one ever believes me when I say it's harder to find companies in the outdoor/shooting/hunting space that don't donate to Ds (at a minimum, most are raving lunatics) than to find one that doesnt.

I posted a link to Vista Outdoor's history a while back. I suppose that isn't the most recognizable name, but perhaps you've heard of some of their brands: https://vistaoutdoor.com/brands/ On another note, Paul Buffoni and Pete Brownell are clear. |

So surefire wont get any of my money now, streamlight seems to have questionable reliability. So who else is there to buy weapon lights from? My only beef with Streamlight is they don't make LED upgrade kits for their incandescent lights. But I know they make more money on people buying new lights versus selling upgrade kits for their older ones. |

Guys I'm pretty sure OpenSecrets.com sources can be misleading. All it takes is one person that just so happens to work for that company donating a lot of money to a Democrat, and boom, that it shows that the company is donating all of this money. Let that sink in real slow... they, as a company, wanted to be able to donate to candidates (which businesses cannot directly do) so much that they registered a political action committee to funnel the money through. This isn't a random employee making a donation (protip: there's one low level assembly worker at Streamlight that is a raging liberal), this is a purposeful business decision. |

Surefire was in Sanchez’s district during the referenced period.
Company wanting some juice from their rep, like weighing in on procurement (does it happen?) or foreign sale, can pick up the phone, call the lobbyist and ask some favors for those thousands of donations. It’s just business. |

These companies don't seem to realize that gun control is just a start on ARMS control, and they are just further down the list. A few may survive on gov contracts, but they will probably be nationalized at that point.

Then again, Trijicon, Aimpoint, Nightforce, LaRue Tactical, Geissele Automatics, Streamlight, and many others have managed to be successful without paying tribute to those that deplore freedom. Maybe just making a quality product and standing behind your product works? |

Yet another reason not to buy their overpriced, low lumen lights. Streamlight for years and years has been more lumens for less money. Yet another nail in the coffin for SF.

Surefire makes good products but they are raging assholes.
Their gravy train is gov contracts. If you’re a LEO maybe they’ll help you out if they have time. If you are a regular guy you can FOAD, pay full retail and maybe they’ll give you the time of day if they’re having a good day. They’re also litigious pricks. They served 4Sevens, Fenix and a bunch of other light makers at Shot a few years back for patent infringements. Something along the lines that they patented the forward clicky switch or something. |
