SureFire Tactical Lights

Fountain Valley, CA --(AmmoLand.com)- SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of high-end illumination tools and tactical products, announces the release of the Z2-S, the latest addition to their popular line of “CombatLight” flashlights.

It’s the first stroblng flashlight from the same company that invented both the tactical flashlight and the CombatLight.

SureFire Z2-S CombatLight

The Z2-S’s ultra-high-output LED generates 160 lumens of light, eight times the light output of a standard two-D-cell flashlight. The Z2-S utilizes a micro-textured reflector to shape and blend the beam so it has plenty of reach for searching-and enough peripheral light to maximize situational awareness-with no rings, spots, or other defects.

The Z2-S also features a strobe mode programmed to blink at a specific frequency to effectively disorient an attacker, a feature that has been continuously requested by SureFire customers.

CombatLights feature tactical-level output (enough to overwhelm night-adapted vision), ergonomic tailcap switching, and SureFire’s patented CombatGrip-a stepped-down body and rubber grip ring that makes pairing the light with a firearm easier, as well as providing a secure hold in wet or cold conditions or while wearing gloves.

At five inches long and under five ounces in weight (with batteries), the Z2-S is designed to be portable and powerful. Its sophisticated electronics-an internal microprocessor regulates the LED to maximize output and runtime-are protected by a rugged aerospace aluminum body that’s hard anodized with black Mil-Spec finish. Press the tactical tailcap switch for momentary-on, press three times rapidly to activate the strobe, or twisting it for constant-on in either mode.

The Z2-S has an MSRP of $139.00 and is available for purchase from an authorized SureFire dealer or directly from SureFire at www.surefire.com.

Bringing safety and innovation to the tactical professional is imperative to Insight Technology. Participating with the NTOA Member Tested and Recommended program has been a great experience and we look forward to future reviews and opportunities with NTOA.”

After testing, members of NTOA gave the AN/PEQ-2A Infrared Target Pointer Illuminator/Aiming Light (ITPIAL) an overall score of 4.83. Members found this product to accurately and consistently hit a silhouette target at 100 yards away. They also found the laser to be effective in wooded areas, even with foliage and branches in the way. Specifically, a tester from California “liked the illuminator” and noted while in “IR” mode, the user was able to illuminate specific dark areas as needed. This allowed the user to keep both hands on the weapon when searching.

The AN/PEQ-15 – Standard Power Advanced Target Pointer Illuminator Aiming Laser (ATPIAL) received an overall rating of 4.72 by NTOA members. Users felt that the IR laser was exceptional and added a distinctive advantage on night time covert operations. The AN/PEQ-15 was found to be a great tool, according to testers, on night ops to help ensure positive ID location and subject ID in large groups. Snipers and perimeter units would make good use of this tool according to testers.

With an overall score of 4.9 the AN/PVS-24A – Individual Weapon Night Sight – Image Intensifier (IWNS-12) was found to be compact, easy to use, and efficient to carry. The intensifying properties of this product were excellent according to a tester from New Mexico, and allowed for identification of all at various ranges and distances engaged.

The AN/PAS-27 – Individual Night Sight – Thermal (IWNS-T) was very impressive, working in low light, total darkness, smoke and light rain. It received an overall rating of 4.63. This product maintained a great sight picture with both the red dot and rifle scope in use. The AN/PAS-27 was found to be very easy to use, with all operating buttons located on the top of the device. It was easy to change settings without looking at the controls, all while keeping both eyes on the target.

The AN/PAS 23 – Mini Thermal Monocular (MTM) received an overall score of 4.79 by NTOA members. A tester from Colorado found that the AN/PAS 23 had great features like facial recognition, moving man sized target detection at 500 meters, integrated marking laser, 2X digital zoom, external video jack, and a 4 hour run time. Another tester from California felt that the monocular was lightweight, compact and very powerful. The thermal optic detection is very precise and sensitive, allowing the user to make out foot prints in soft surfaces as well as hand prints on surfaces such as walls and wooden gates.

With an overall score of 4.82 the SU/PAS 232 Clip-On Night Vision Device – Thermal (CNVD-T) was found to work well during daylight, low light, total darkness, rain, snow, and smoke. The functions on this sight are not overly complicated, and offer the user straightforward options such as brightness, contrast, magnification (1X or 2X) and is easier to operate than most HD televisions.
