This review is from: Surefire 6PD-BK Defender Black Incandescent Flashlight w/ a Crenullated Strike Bezel
The Surefire 6P Defender is just that, a classic 6P with the addition of the strike bezel for self defense. The strike bezel was a well-known aftermarket add on for the 6P and it makes sense for Surefire to make a better version in house. The result is really a fantastic flashlight with some added self defense capability.
Its a good light that you can’t go wrong with, and though the strike bezel isn’t a necessity for most folks, the addition won’t hurt either. For serious self defense the addition of a 120 lumen bulb is mandatory for this light and great investment.
One more great thing about the Defender is it comes with a push in tail cap rather than the typical twist cap. This is really a great addition to an incredibly useful package.

The Surefire 6P Defender goes beyond your average Maglite. It has a top quality create, is water resistant, and is small and light sufficient to carry in your pocket.
The strike bezel on the head from the flashlight is fantastic for added protection, and although it doesn’t appear like a lot, is capable of causing some critical damage!
I love the tactical tail cap switch for convenient momentary or continuous on/off. It does not strain your thumb to hold it down as with some less expensive lights.
The reason for 4 stars is that for the cost, you will find brighter types available with duel modes, like the Fenix TK10 or 11 designs, as well as the Eagletac T10LC2 with its 6o lumen mode and 295 lumen large mode.
But, I would suggest the 6P to anyone who has been in the marketplace for this flashlight. It feels good inside your hand, and you can just really feel the excellent.
A wonderful option to mod this torch would be to buy a Malkoff M60L or M60 led drop in for increased brightness. Note that these drop-ins were made specifically for Surefires and are of excellent excellent.
The M60L is rated at 140 lumen having a constant 4 ½ hour light output (then 2 hours or so helpful light). The M60 is rated at 235 lumens for a 90 minute continual output runtime.
Both currently cost $55 every.
Product Description
The SureFire 6P Defender is a compact, high-output flashlight with enhanced self-defense features.

The 6P Defender’s crenellated Strike Bezel provides further personal defense options.
