SureFire broadens its weapon mounted product line, adding the XC2-A to its laser/light combo packages. The XC2-A is a compact sight outputting 300 lumens of white light as well as 635nm of red laser. Mounting to Universal-rail-equipped handguns, the XC2-A runs everything from a single AAA battery.
About the new XC2-A system, SureFire said:
“SureFire, LLC, manufacturer of the world’s finest—and most innovative—illumination tools and tactical products, is proud to announce the launch of the all new XC2 300 Lumens handgun light with red laser. The XC2 is SureFire’s smallest, most lightweight handgun light with an integrated laser. It features a recoil-proof LED that’s focused by a multi-faceted reflector to create our broad 300-lumen MaxVision Beam™ perfect for illuminating and identifying threats at close range.”
“The XC2’s 635nm red laser is highly visible and, once zeroed, rarely needs re-zeroing thanks to adjustment screws that won’t back out from the effects of recoil. Measuring less than 2.5 inches long and weighing just two ounces, the XC2 won’t weigh down your handgun, making it a crucial addition to concealed-carry pistols among other applications. Its compact body is constructed of lightweight but strong aerospace aluminum with a Mil-Spec hard anodized finish, so the XC2 is rugged enough for everyday carry. Ambidextrous switching provides both momentary-and constant-on activation for precision control.”
