Surefire E2D Defender ....

[fmtek 4]

Hey everyone. Was wondering if anyone owns and/or carries this flashlight.

 

What do you think about the defense edges?

 

Thanks,

I think the prosecutor would have field day, if/when, you used this for SD. Are you looking for a light or something for SD? If a light, checkout the 4Sevens line of lights.

Regardless of the strike bezel, IIRC, the E2D is an incandescent bulb. With LED technology where it is, I think that is a better option. Surefire makes fine lights, and they were the best when you were limited to regular bulb, but LED's are the way to go.

I carry an led e2d on my duty belt great dlashlight. Use it every day. Has seen its share of impacts and survived. I like the one in the pic. Will be looking into it

Ultra-fire something or other, made in China and ships from China in a couple of weeks, so let your conscience be your guide in that respect:

You'll also need to get the special battery type for it, 18650 rechargeable.

On that note i will pass. Thanks for the info

My wide edc's a e2d and has for years. No issues. The edges ate kinda sharp but only good if your going to use it to strike somebody in a defense scenario.

 

That being said, Pizza Bob is right about the led version. You can buy the les head or a new light if you already have the e2d. I am getting my wife the new light personally.

I have the led version, and have carried it every day for 3 years. It gets dropped, soaked, and otherwise abused and has yet to fail. Its a keeper.

I have the newer E2D and it is LED. Great light.

I'm with the others with the E2D - carry it all over, use it when I travel for work since it's an easy thing to get through TSA screeners.

That's just a raised bezel to protect the lens from impact. Obviously it could be used for a good thrust, but my Fenix lights have more of a bezel than the Surefires. Just remember if its ever used as a weapon, that those edges only purpose is what I just stated. Otherwise, in the eyes of a prosecutor, you bought that with intentions of using it as a weapon.
