The SureFire XC2-A Ultra-Compact LED Handgun Light with Red Laser is purpose-built for concealed carry users who require a lightweight, low-profile illumination and targeting solution without sacrificing reliability or performance. Compact enough for discreet everyday carry yet rugged enough for defensive use, the XC2-A combines a high-performance LED handgun light with an integrated red aiming laser in one ultra-compact package.
Constructed from aerospace-grade aluminum with a Mil-Spec hard-anodized finish, the XC2-A is engineered to withstand demanding real-world conditions while maintaining a slim, lightweight footprint. Measuring under 2.5 inches long and weighing only about two ounces, it minimizes bulk while maximizing usability on compact and full-size handguns.
The XC2-A features a 300-lumen single-output LED powered by SureFire’s proprietary MaxVision Beam® reflector system, producing a broad, evenly distributed wall of light ideal for close-quarters engagements and enhanced situational awareness. Integrated alongside the LED is a 635nm red aiming laser delivering fast target acquisition and improved low-light accuracy.
Its ambidextrous switching system supports both momentary and constant-on activation for intuitive operation under stress. The integrated Picatinny/Weaver rail mount with a self-centering clamping system ensures secure attachment and dependable performance on compatible firearms.
Powered by a rechargeable AAA NiMH battery accessible through the front-loading battery compartment, the XC2-A offers convenient battery replacement while preserving its streamlined design.
