New Surefire X300 Turbo Review: Not What I Expected

@honest outlaw what's the verdict on the warranty of the light?

My 300 Turbo quit working after my first range trip on a 10mm and, no, I did not drop it. I also bought an Arisaka recently with a Surefire tail cap and remote and the remote was defective. Surefire quality is going downhill.

TLR-1 HL for the win 💯

What happened to the warranty on the 300 Turbo?

I got the holosun pid for $99 on Amazon.. and its better imo

The price is ridiculous.

I am interested in getting the turbo. But I would like to see how a red dot would look with the beam emitted from the turbo? Can you see the red dot with the high candela coming from the Turbo.
I have a TLR-1 HL and my 509T dot is still very clear while the light is on.

666,000 candela would be crazy

All the predecessors that you tested were flood light, they have potted heads. The more focused beams require glass and smooth reflectors. Probably why it broke.

I think any light that had a rock hit just in the right place (or wrong) is gonna break the glass. I had a SL hlx that i blew the glass out on it with a birdcage 2 times on my ar. Im not gonna look at one light breaking and think its now trash.

I run the streamlight I believe surefire is way over priced

Been binge watching your videos you have no idea. From the best/worst guns of 2023, S&W metal comp edition, P07 vs P01, this video and a bunch of others. Its been really helpful. I picked up the new S&W spec ODG metal this weekend and your video on the older model that came out this year helped justify it. I will also be buying both a P07 and P01 because of you and this video helped me finish checking out with my TLR-1 H. Love the content, would be cool if S&W sent you the new spec edition metal 2.0 in ODG just to see what you think, so far I love mine.

Did surefire ever warranty the light for you?

The Olight LEP is better 😮

Is there a update video?

Candela does a better job at defeating photonic barriers. Also… Surefire’s warranty is along the lines of “Send it back. Our engineers want to look at how you broke it. We will send you a replacement; the forthcoming sending address is the address we’re shipping to, right?”

I think you dropped it just right on a rock and got the glass.

Was there ever a follow up on this light..how did the second one do in testing?

Picked up an X300 Ultra (X300U-B-TN) as on a handgun i feel like having more flood than throw makes more sense in 95% of situations where you would need to use it. Also, EVERY other weapon light I own is a streamlight cause they work just as well…got the Surefire this time cause it was for my M9A4, and streamlights dont come in FDE/Tan as far as I know. Lastly, something that you didnt mention is that the "-A" models are intended for polymer framed handguns and the "-B" models are for metal framed handguns.

666,000 Candela . . . uh – I don't think so ( saying with respect brother ) . . .

The SURELIGHT TURBO cut sheet says 66,000 candela . . .

The Streamlight TLR 1 HPL = 22,000 candella . . and the SUREFIRE 300 is 11,000 candella . .

Love your work – follow as much as I can – When I can

Eveybody I know in Central Florida follows you as well . . . You are well respected down here

666,000 candela??!! Damn, that's like stronger than the sun itself lol. I think he meant 66,000 candela.

@Honest Outlaw Well lets see the video on the replacement

what's the warranty update!!! so curious about it

So did you ever do a follow up video on this? Did you send it to surefire? Did they fix it?

So in hearing the "light is a target" we mounted a light on a target with a pressure switch shooter didnt know what target the light was on and when activated it was impossible to pick up a point of aim your vision was destroyed

I've converted to streamlight years ago. Seriously the surefire isn't that much better.
