SureFire M3 CombatLight

The SureFire M3 CombatLight is a high-intensity incandescent flashlight for tactical, duty, or navigation use or conditions requiring an enhanced grip.  The M3 is somewhat similar to the M2 Centurion but slightly longer and nearly twice as powerful.  The ergonomic rubber grip ring allows the M3 CombatLight to be operated with a handgun, using the SureFire technique.

The M3 CombatLight features a shock-isolation system in the bezel which provides extra recoil and impact protection for the lamp filament and comes equipped with both the MN10 and MN11 lamp assemblies.

The modular design of the M3 CombatLight allows it to share many accessories with other SureFire lights.  The tailcap threads are compatible with other C/P/Z-series lights while the bezel threads match those found on the SureFire M4 Devastator and M6 Guardian.  As a result, the M3 can be assembled, without the use of tools, into a wide variety of configurations.
