I've bought Surefire in the past, but they wear our just like anything else. The tail cap switch fails and their lifetime warranty doesn't cover tailcaps or other parts that wear out. I decided to go for a better price point and I'm glad I did! This Nightcore light feels solid, has multiple brightness levels and the UV mode is an awesome feature. Also the brightest flashlight I've ever had. Feels solid and good quality.

The good: The light has a good balance of throw and spill for law enforcement. I like that it uses usb-c cords to charge but the rubber cap will eventually break off and get lost. The rotating ring design on the P22R is a better charge port cover. Iam a fan of the mode switch being on the tailcap because it's easy to find. The plastic holster feels a bit cheap but we'll see how it holds up to duty use. The size is good and could almost be an edc.The bad: My biggest issue with this light is, Nitecore didn't include brightness memory like pretty much every other light out there. Everytime you turn it on, it goes directly to high. Maybe in future models include a civilian mode that goes ultra low, low, medium, high with memory.

I wanted a tactical flashlight that had a long throw for a large yard...I did compare other brands, but decided to go with Nitecore. I originally was looking at the i4000r, but chose the P20i due to its brightness, long throw, and it's minimalistic approach to mode/function, so you don't mistakenly change the mode or brightness by mistake.This flashlight is excellent! Great price, great build quality, and great performance. It's brighter, and has about the same throw as my 2 + 3 D Cell LED Mags, + at a third of the size. I highly recommend the P20i to anyone looking for a true tactical flashlight.The only two minor cons, (at least to me) is it takes a special type battery (not standard top batteries), and it would of been nice if it had button guards, or, an ... MoreI wanted a tactical flashlight that had a long throw for a large yard...I did compare other brands, but decided to go with Nitecore.

Also my warranty card was not filled out by the distributor as stated on the card.But, other than that is is well worth the price, especially with a 15% off coupon. TY Nitecore.
