John Matthews
President, SureFire
With the purchase of this SureFire flashlight,
you have invested in one of the world’s best
“illumination tools.”
We believe it to be a prime example of
our philosophy that design decisions should
always be made in the interest of the product
being the very best it can be.
Frequently, this means deciding to use a
more costly process or a more expensive
material than would normally be called for.
We know that in order to produce the best, one
must do it right.
We thank you for supporting this decision
and electing to confirm our belief in “no
compromise” in a product that, by its
performance and reliability, may some day be
called upon to save your life.
There is no other choice.

WELCOME
TO THE SUREFIRE TEAM
SUREFIRE lights provide overwhelming
power, and they do this with a quality of
beam that is unmatched in brilliance and
performance.
SUREFIRE’s high pressure Xenon/
Halogen lamps operate at the highest
temperatures possible, producing
extraordinary, brilliant, white light.
Our reflectors are machined from solid
billets of aircraft grade aluminum.
Each SUREFIRE lamp assembly is
permanently prefocused to within less than
five thousands of an inch to achieve the
absolutely flawless SUREFIRE beam.
The switch is ergonomically located for in-
the-dark positive activation.
Whether you need a small light that can
be carried in your pocket or a multipurpose
professional light, SUREFIRE offers you
models that range in power from 15
lumens to 500 lumens.
You can have confidence that your choice
of a SUREFIRE light will always reward
you with years of superb, unfailing
performance.
You have just become the owner of one of the
most incredible pieces of lighting technology
ever conceived. It is a masterpiece of
engineering, a member of the SUREFIRE
family which has gained the acceptance and
respect of military and law enforcement
professionals around the world.

MILLENNIUM
M3 COMBATLIGHT
Power and performance advances have made
a quantum leap with the M3 CombatLight.
Supplied with Lamp Assemblies of 125
and 225 lumens, you have a light that pierces
the night field of view beyond 100 yards. The
intense beam improves your ability to pre-
vail by safely rendering an attacking person
temporarily blind. The flawless beam com-
bines an intense prefocused spotlight center
surrounded by a smooth, uniform wide flood-
light, free of irregularities.
Special protection against lamp assem-
bly failure due to impact is provided by
SUREFIRE’s exclusive shock isolation de-
sign.
The unique streamlined shape and light-
weight, precision-engineered, cut-away flash-
light body is specifically designed to be used
with advanced shooting methods such as the
Rogers/SUREFIRE shooting technique and
the Harries technique.
As a member of the Millennium series of
SUREFIRE lights, many of the components
are interchangeable with the M500A and
M100 WeaponLights should they be needed
during field operations.
An unqualified choice for tactical opera-
tions, the M3 exceeds all expectations in ap-
plication and light power.
