SureFire LLC has announced the release of the XC3, a new handgun weapon light that offers duty-grade performance and durability in a concealed-carry package.

The XC3 generates 550 lumens and 7,200 candela of white light output, an impressive balance of white light and throw, well suited for handgun use. Its Hybrid beam pattern illuminates the main object of interest while providing substantial spill light to help you remain aware of your surroundings. The XC3 is a robust choice for duty use as well as concealed carry applications.

The XC3 securely attaches to Universal or Picatinny accessory rails in a form factor compatible with numerous commercially available holsters already on the market. Fueled by a front-loading, readily available 123A lithium battery, it offers long runtime and easy battery changes without removing the weapon light from the firearm. Like all SureFire handgun lights, the XC3 is designed with intuitive, ambidextrous switching that provides a positive tactile feel for unmatched control in momentary- or constant-on mode.

Designed, engineered, and assembled in the U.S.A., the XC3 incorporates a high-strength, aerospace-grade aluminum body that is Mil-Spec hard anodized for rugged durability.

The XC3 is set to launch at the end of Q1 and will be available through your local SureFire dealer.
