It's showing $95 when I add it to the cart. Is there a promo code to get the discounted price?

At 5pm it was sale priced. Guess they sold enough of them.

They surely sold a lot of them at $38, today. We'll see when they ship.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I paid $132 for the O Light X7 Marauder after Christmas. It puts out 9000 lumens and came with rechargeable batteries and a digital charger. I think the new X7 puts out 12000 lumens.

Too bad I only bought one at $38. I could have made my fortune speculating in flashlights. Smile

You never know when the next chance will come up to underwhelm someone might be. Better stock up.

Surefire has a bad habit of showing things in stock at a good price, and the transaction goes through. Only to find out by email days later that they are in fact out of stock, and have been for quite some time with no idea of when your order will be shipped. Ordered slick deals on lights as Christmas presents on Black Friday at a great price, they still haven't showed up yet.........


Yep, this happened to me with this order. Just got an email saying the flashlights are backordered...it took you how many days to realize that, Surefire?

I got an email saying they were backordered...an hour after the email telling me that they had shipped. I got them the following day.

NOW he tells us. Smile

I just got the "on back order" email, 7 days after my order. Their website still gives no hint that the flashlights are not in stock or when they are expected.

I just sent them a question about their practices. I will bet their answer, if any, doesn't address the problem. "We're sorry. (Everybody's sorry.) We fill orders as fast as we can."

I placed an order on 11/27.
Got an email from Surefire on 12/5 saying it's backordered with a 2-4 week lead time on availability.
Finally on 1/8 I get the shipping notice.

Seems they're taking a page from the Botach book...
