Experience the Future of Tactical Illumination: SureFire's SHOT Show 2025 Lineup

At SHOT Show 2025, we had the exclusive opportunity to get hands-on with SureFire's very interesting new product lineup. Our team had the opportunity to check out these innovations first hand, and we're excited to share our detailed experience in the video report below. From the revolutionary Ballistic Shield Light to the compact yet powerful XC3, these products showcase SureFire's continued commitment to innovation in tactical lighting solutions.

SureFire Ballistic Shield Light (BSL-A): Purpose-Built Protection

The new SureFire BSL-A represents a significant advancement in tactical shield operations. Drawing on four decades of expertise, this purpose-built 1,500-lumen illumination system weighs just 1.24 lbs and integrates seamlessly with modern ballistic shields. Its Dual Fuel capability offers operational flexibility, accepting either an SF18650B rechargeable lithium-ion battery or two 123A lithium batteries for extended missions.

The BSL-A's carefully engineered beam pattern prevents operator backlighting while maintaining tactical advantage around corners. Its intuitive control system combines a pressure pad for momentary activation with a separate constant-on switch, while the IPX7-rated aluminum construction ensures reliability in adverse conditions. The included rubber cover and protective lens make it equally suitable for training scenarios.

UDR Dominator: Setting New Standards in Portable Search Operations

SureFire's flagship handheld searchlight pushes boundaries with unprecedented output levels. The latest UDR Dominator delivers an astounding 4,400 lumens and 350,000 candela, achieving a remarkable 1,100-meter beam distance. This powerhouse features an eleven-position selector ring, offering nine output levels plus strobe functionality, while maintaining SureFire's signature durability through its aerospace-grade aluminum construction and Mil-Spec anodizing.

XC3 WeaponLight: Compact Without Compromise

Building on the legendary X300's legacy, the new XC3 weaponlight brings duty-grade performance to the concealed carry market. Despite its compact 2.6-inch length and mere 2.65-ounce weight, this versatile illuminator produces 550 lumens and 7,200 candela through its hybrid beam pattern. The result is optimal target identification with sufficient peripheral illumination for situational awareness.

The XC3's ambidextrous controls and front-loading battery system demonstrate SureFire's attention to practical functionality, while its compatibility with existing holsters makes it an immediate option for both duty and civilian applications.

Fast-Attach HUB: Revolutionary Suppressor Integration

SureFire's innovative Fast-Attach HUB adapter introduces SOCOM-level mounting capabilities to the HUB suppressor market. Precision-machined from heat-treated stainless steel and protected by black nitride coating, this U.S.-manufactured component enables tool-free suppressor mounting in seconds, regardless of barrel temperature.

Available for both 5.56mm and 7.62mm SOCOM adapters, the Fast-Attach HUB maintains SureFire's exacting standards while expanding suppressor mounting options. As a non-NFA device, it offers immediate accessibility through standard retail channels.

Each of these innovations continues SureFire's tradition of advancing tactical illumination and firearms technology through practical, reliable solutions for military, law enforcement, and civilian applications.
