Love the look. I will wait and see opinions before committing though.

Looks interesting for sure! I wonder if the threads are black-coated? Reason I ask is becuase the Panzer Blackhawk had black coated/painted threads and that had some voltage drop issues.....If the black is anodized maybe it would be better in this regard? Not sure...

Looks very cool though!! Is that the battery showing through down there at the bottom?

These have been out since last November. IMO - In the matte finishes, they look exactly like what Surefire got their 'inspiration' from... the illegitimate offspring of a rifle flash hider & muzzle brake. In the bare metal finishes... a bit less gunny.

Tap'd from my LG G2
 
Sorry for bringing up an older thread but has anyone considered the possibility that "Surefire Vapor" might be infringing on SUREFIRE LLC's trademark and quite possibly other intellectual property rights? Both companies are located in Southern California, share basically the same name, and Surefire Vapor clearly models many of it's products after Surefire's muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and tactical flashlights. I hope the owners of Surefire Vapor understand these laws especially since Surefire LLC's chief designer/engineer Peter Hauk is not the kind of guy who allows other companies to get a free ride off his success, whether it be in a name or the design of a product.

Seriously?

If it weren't for them using the same name, I'd say they'd be in the clear. But making a product that looks like a muzzle brake while naming your company Surefire Vapor is clearly no bueno.

I feel where you are coming from but
Surefire didnt design the A2 FH.
Sticking an A2 on the end of a MB with a can mount doesent mean surefire designed the A2 either.
