Surefire G2X Pro Flashlight Review

Long story short, I like the Surefire G2X Pro.

Now for the rest of the story. The other day I received a Surefire G2X Pro test sample. Even though Surefire supplied the test flashlight, it in no way influenced my opinion on the light. Mainly because I was not the one testing the light, it was my 14 year old daughter, I was just an observer in the test.

Instead of having to rely on disposable batteries, look into getting a few hand crank – shake flashlights. That way you do not have to worry about scavenging batteries.

Please post your comments in the Hybrid Shake Flashlight Review thread of the forums. Special thanks goes to ReadyPro.org for supplying the flashlight for this review.
