Want the toughest weapon/handheld light? Turn to Surefire. For decades, Surefire has led the industry in premium tactical lighting, delivering unmatched reliability, durability, and performance in the most demanding environments.
A Brief History
Surefire’s story began in 1969, when a young engineer Dr. John Matthews founded Laser Products Corporation to develop laser sighting systems. By the 1980s, the company pivoted toward tactical illumination, creating the first compact, high-intensity weapon-mounted light for law enforcement. The brand was reintroduced as Surefire, quickly becoming a trusted name in military use, civilian use, law enforcement use, and for us at Rainier Arms as well.
Every Surefire product is designed and built in the USA, with precision engineering that prioritizes ruggedness, function, and mission-critical reliability.
Why Surefire is Better Than the Rest
- Battle-Tested Durability
Surefire lights are engineered with aerospace-grade aluminum, O-ring seals, and shock-resistant components. They’re built to survive drops, harsh weather, and combat conditions. Something cheap brands can’t match.
- Intense, Focused Beam Quality
Unlike many lights that scatter their output, Surefire uses precision reflectors and high-efficiency LEDs to deliver a powerful, focused beam with excellent throw and situational awareness.
- Unmatched Reliability
Whether it’s extreme heat, cold, or water exposure, Surefire lights are made to function without fail. That’s why they’re trusted by military personnel, SWAT teams, and operators around the world.
- Tactical Design, Not Gimmicks
Every control, button, and output level is designed with real-world use in mind. No complicated menus and no flashy features. Just pure performance where it matters.
- Made in the USA
Unlike many competitors, Surefire products are proudly made in the USA, with strict quality control and a commitment to supporting U.S. manufacturing.
The Bottom Line
Surefire lights aren’t just bright, they’re built for battle and hard use. If your life, your job, or your mission depends on your gear, there’s no room for compromise. That’s why we use them and sell them here at Rainier Arms. Surefire remains the top choice for those who demand the best in weapon/handheld lighting.
