Surefire ultra series

Nice review.  I'm a fan of Surefire products too and have the X400U and X300U.  I haven't tried the green laser version because I thought the price differential was not worth the brightness gain.  The red laser is plenty bright for me even in daylight outdoors at a reasonable distance. 

One thing I don't like about the design of the X400 is the battery compartment.  IMO it pivots open in the wrong direction because when it's mounted to a picatinny rail, I can't swap out the 123A batteries without having to detach the entire unit.  For the X300U that's not a problem but I'm worried that I have to re-zero my laser.

Other than that, it's typical Surefire quality.  Bright, tough, and reliable.

I swap between my handgun and AR so I usually change batteries with it off so I haven't noticed this, thanks for letting me know. I am about to order some rechargeable Surefire A123's and see how well they work in the WML's and regular flashlights. -MW
