[SHOT 2023] SureFire’s NEW XR2 Extremely-Compact Pistol Gentle

Surefire is releasing a new ultra-compact pistol laser and light combo this year. The new XR2 Ultra-Compact Rechargeable LED Light/Laser pistol light is one of the latest products that was brought out to SHOT 2023. The XR2 is an ultra-compact light that sits pretty much flush to the muzzle of a gun, in this case a Glock 19, unlike SureFire’s X300 line of pistol-mounted lights. Even though the XR2 is that much smaller of a light it is still capable of putting out 800 lumens and has an integrated laser still. The XR2’s main body is constructed of hard anodized aluminum, with gasket seals for keeping moisture and dust out of the electronics. For the controls, Surefire made them ambidextrous for both light and laser, so no worries for all the lefties out there.

For the batteries in the new light, Surefire is using a quick-detach lithium polymer battery. The battery can be removed and charged separately from the light, so you won’t lose zero for the laser every time you need to plug in and recharge the light.  As of now, only the light with laser version is available for backorder, but the version that is pistol light only is soon to follow. That model of the light will cost closer to that of a standard X300 pistol light. The lights are already available for backorder now but hopefully should be available by March.
