Surefire Scout Light vs Streamlight ProTac Rail Mount Weaponlight

I have both as well. I do like the Surefire brank on pic rails a lot more. The pressure pads I use are by Surefire themselves and it just snaps on the rails. Make for really smooth weapon. However, I do like Streamlight and how their pressure pads have holes in them. It allows for more easier mounting on weapons that do not have pic rails on them. I have it on my turkey gun and a couple of ARs that have the standard plastic handguards. The pressure switch has two holes in them so you can use zipties to mount it between the holes.

Been running Streamlights for years (12 at least) with zero issues, but one important thing that you forgot to mention is that Surefire strictly warns against using rechargeable batteries (read the fine print). The Streamlights that I run will take c123, c123r and 18650, can’t say that about the overpriced Surefire !

I’ve had 2 end caps fail on the Protac HLX. My Railmount 2’s have been solid AF. My “go to rifle” has a Surefire M340C Mini Scout Light Pro…. them long names🤣🤣🤣

Just got a Streamlight ("protac rail mount 2") as a stopgap measure until I figure out why my surefire doesn't work (switch housing, or bulb).

A comparison between 2 lights without actually showing the whole purpose you bought the light for!, No comparison shown on Illumination??? You seem to be bumping surefire pretty hard so I'm assuming the streamlight beats it in actually lighting up an area, and you didnt want to show it. Does surefire send you products for free?

Nice vid man, never understood why the surefire doesn’t come with a tail cap & pressure switch. Just charge a few bucks more. Those fuckers get you comin’ n going. They make great products tho

Depending your life on a light buy surefire. Had the streamlight, it failed after 1year. cheap pad. Surefire is combat tested.

Thanks for the video. By the way, what are the colors on the caramel rifle?

The Surefire set-up is longer, so takes more rail space…
Surefire's too expensive for most people''s needs…
Watched Sage Dynamics' review on the Streamlight HLX…helped me decide on the Streamlight.

Hi, can you tell me if the v-seven Teflon coated buffer spring is a good choice. I am mainly looking for something with good durability. Thank you for your time and help.

That’s what she said.😂

I’m a Firefighter who has used Streamlight for years. If all my lights can survive fires and rain down pours then I’ll stick to streamilight

I have used Streamlight for years as EDC and a weapon light. They have worked well in classes I've taken. The only time I saw flashlights go down was two Surefire lights in a low light carbine class. If I ever upgrade WML it will be to a MODLITE. Surefire donated $10,000 to anti-gun politician Senator Diane Feinstein. I won't support Surefire financially.

Do you have the links for the surefire light and cloud defense mount. Thank you for the video, this is exactly what I was looking for.

Great video.
I'm running another Streamlight Protac HLX on an mlok Arisaka Denfense offset mount. Not going to run the Cloud Defense LCS mk2 system this time and see how it goes. Just going to use the tail cap button. I had zero issues with my last Streamlight with 5,000 rounds through the rifle before selling it. I'm hoping this one holds up just as well.

I have a Surefire G2X Tactical on my AK and for $60 with an Olight $12 offset mount, it's been solid on my Ultimak rail. Highly recommend this setup as well.

Berz what muzzle device is that on both guns can't figure it out and not sure if you've done a vid on it??

Picked up a streamlight protac rail mount 1 after only using surefire for years. What a piece of garbage, it flickers when DRY FIRING.
Steamlight makes garbage and won’t be “saving money” with them again.

Another great video! An update on the "3C" Commando Cub Cadet" project" ??? Just a little creative license, here. Cheers, Mate.

Streamlight makes a Pro Tac Rail Mount 1, a Rail Mount 2 and a Dual Fuel Rail Mount HL-X and you never mention which one your testing. Surefire makes a multiple of Scout 300 series and 600 Series and a Dual Fuel version and you never mention which one your comparing.

In addition the MSRP's for Surefire lights alone are about $200. more than a comparable Streamlight, adding a tail cap and tape switch to the Surefire adds another $100. So I could buy 3 Streamlights for every Surefire. How's that for redundancy!!

Both Surefire and Streamlight are great products, with strengths and weaknesses, but your doing a disservice to your viewers with your incomplete and shallow review…….

the candela output for the surefire m600 and m640 is just pathetic compared to modlite/cloud defensive options.

I would be skipping surefire and going with modlite. If I am going to be paying that kind of money for a light. I want to see, and feel the quality of what I buy.

Streamlights are decent lights for the money I guess, but I've always favored surefire because its track records. However, lately I've been not only favoring but also using the modlite lights which in my opinion are superb.

Streamlights pro tac sucks, the pressure pad and end cap are not reliable. Had two stop working after 30 days.

Interesting thoughts on the battery spring(?) and the cable. Those are probably the two weakest points in the lights. I think i am going with the Unity Tactical Hot Botton for my front end set up. The more crap you hang off the front, the more precious the real estate becomes. Love the set ups you got. The paint jobs are always on point! I would like to request an updated paint job video when you get the budget Jack Carbine finished. It would be interesting if any of your previous techniques have changed. Take care!

We all knew that SureFire is the standard.

First. Great comparison. Thanks!
