SureFire's next-generation XC3 builds on their proven XC3 platform with a dramatic increase in performance, delivering nearly double the lumens and candela of the original XC3. It securely fits most railed, compact handgun models and fits in a wide variety of holsters already on the market. The XC3's included SFRCR123 rechargeable lithium-ion battery powers its LED to produce 1,000 lumens of intense white light and 13,000 candela-nearly the same output as our X300U at roughly half the size. You can also conveniently swap in a 123A lithium battery to deliver 550 lumens, 7,200 candela, and longer runtime. Surefire's Hybrid Beam pattern delivers the ideal combination of distance and surround light at handgun distances, so you can maintain focus on any threat while remaining aware of your surroundings. Intuitive ambidextrous switching provides a positive, tactile feel for unmatched control in momentary- or constant-on mode when it is time to illuminate your target. The XC3 combines intense performance with SureFire's renowned duty-grade durability. Lightweight, compact, and robust, it performs in any high-stress, low-light environment where positive ID is imperative. High-performance LED produces 1,000 lumens and 13,000 candela Hybrid beam pattern creates a smooth, far-reaching beam with a center spot that's highly effective for close- to medium-range engagements Integral ambidextrous momentary- and constant-on switching provides easy, instant activation Disable feature prevents accidental activation when in storage or traveling Front-loading battery (through bezel) allows easy battery changes without removing the XC3 from the host weapon Attaches securely to both Universal and Picatinny accessory rails, fitting a wide variety of handgun models High-strength aerospace aluminum body is Mil-Spec hard anodized for extreme durability
