John Matthews President, SureFire
We believe it to be a prime example of our philosophy that design decisions should always be made in the interest of the product being the very best it can be.
Frequently, this means deciding to use a more costly process or a more expensive material than would normally be called for. We know that in order to produce the best, one must do it right.
We thank you for supporting this decision and electing to confirm our belief in “no compromise” in a product that, by its performance and reliability, may some day be called upon to save your life.
There is no other choice.

WELCOME
TO THE SUREFIRE TEAM
SUREFIRE lights provide overwhelming
power, and they do this with a quality of beam that is unmatched in brilliance and performance.
SUREFIRE’s high pressure Xenon/ Halogen lamps operate at the highest temperatures possible, producing extraordinary, brilliant, white light.
Our reflectors are machined from solid billets of aircraft grade aluminum.
Each SUREFIRE lamp assembly is permanently prefocused to within less than five thousands of an inch to achieve the absolutely flawless SUREFIRE beam.
The switch is ergonomically located for in­the-dark positive activation.
Whether you need a small light that can be carried in your pocket or a multipurpose professional light, SUREFIRE offers you models that range in power from 15 lumens to 500 lumens.
You can have confidence that your choice of a SUREFIRE light will always reward you with years of superb, unfailing performance.
You have just become the owner of one of the most incredible pieces of lighting technology ever conceived. It is a masterpiece of engineering, a member of the SUREFIRE family which has gained the acceptance and respect of military and law enforcement professionals around the world.

M3 COMBATLIGHT
Power and performance advances have made a quantum leap with the M3 CombatLight.
Supplied with Lamp Assemblies of 125 and 225 lumens, you have a light that pierces the night field of view beyond 100 yards. The intense beam improves your ability to pre­vail by safely rendering an attacking person temporarily blind. The flawless beam com­bines an intense prefocused spotlight center surrounded by a smooth, uniform wide flood­light, free of irregularities.
Special protection against lamp assem­bly failure due to impact is provided by SUREFIRE’s exclusive shock isolation de­sign.
The unique streamlined shape and light­weight, precision-engineered, cut-away flash­light body is specifically designed to be used with advanced shooting methods such as the Rogers/SUREFIRE shooting technique and the Harries technique.
As a member of the Millennium series of SUREFIRE lights, many of the components are interchangeable with the M500A and M100 WeaponLights should they be needed during field operations.
An unqualified choice for tactical opera­tions, the M3 exceeds all expectations in ap­plication and light power.
