I've got a Ledlenser P7 for daily use in my bag. Cheap and cheerful, easy to replace AA batteries as well.

Been using my P7 for 4 years now. Have another P7 in the car for emergency use. So far so good. I use Eneloop batteries with them and they're great for everyday use. They also work well in rain and shitty environments without issue and I use it at work for site inspection where an IS lamp isn't required (eg; Pelican Sabrelight)

The easy to feel and large rear button is really good for gloved work. Love it.

The only issue is that the focusing mechanism doesn't play well with high shock, it loosens and rattles while the beam changes its setting when hit by recoil, so my rifle and pistol mounted lights are all Surefire (XC1, X300, M600IB rail mounted and G2x with Picatinny clamp)

Competitive shooting. Haven't tried other brands such as Inforce/Steiner/Olight/Streamlight for high shock use, but I do have a Streamlight Sidewinder for camping and find it to be very easy to use courtesy of the built-in swivel head and clip.

I usually don't use Surefire for my normal use and just use Ledlenser as these things are damned expensive.

Haven’t cleaned out my flashlight collection for a while.

Taken them all out for a battery refresh.

Any other Surefire users out there?

Nice! I haven't got an ED2 but when I first started working after graduation, I asked an ex special forces colleague what torch should I use, he answered, "if your life depends on it, Surefire."

Honestly I've used these for night time shooting, camping and abused them quite heavily at work. I have Surefire Saint Minimus I've used at work on site for many years, even after hitting steel and concrete has functioned super well.
