Anybody have one of these new (came out in Oct 2010) Surefire G2X Tactical flashlights? They are 200 lumens (and some say even more) but the important thing is I just picked 2 of them up via Amazon for $55 each. This is Surefires entry into the Average Joe flashlight. The reason I picked up the G2X Tactical is that is has momentary on with a click of a button that gets you immediately to 200 lumens. If you twist the cap it is constant on. Surefire introduced this new line in October 2010 at $55 and then raised their price to $95 on 4/1/11. However, I was able to find 2 of them for $55 on Amazon ... I guess they didn't get the memo.
I'll let you know how good they are when I get them next week. Anyway, here are the specs and the reviews are great:

The G2X Tactical, a polymer-body version of our 6PX Tactical, is designed specifically for tactical use. Providing simplicity of operation and tremendous illuminating power in a small package, it uses a high-efficiency LED—virtually immune to failure since there's no filament to burn out or break—to generate a brilliant, penetrating, perfectly pre-focused 200-lumen beam. The G2X is activated by our classic tactical tailcap switch—press for momentary-on, twist for constant-on. The tough Nitrolon® polymer body is smoothly sculpted for a comfortable, secure grip and resists scratches, abrasion, and corrosion. A polycarbonate micro-textured reflector delivers a comparatively wider beam with generous peripheral light. We also make an aerospace aluminum-body version of this light, the 6PX Tactical, and a dual-output version with a two-stage click-type tailcap switch, the G2X Pro.
