The M3 (the equivilant of the one you have there) is only like $200 and the M6 upgrades to an integrated laser aiming device for less than a $100 more. For just over $400 you get the M6X with a 80k CP xenon bulb, laser aiming device, plus a nearly indestructable waterproof body. Most police forces use Streamlights, not SureFires. PM me if you have any questions.

I'm probably going to go check out all the options at a local shop and pic whichever one feels more quality and gets the best reviews.

Check out the StreamLight model if you can get your habds on one... it's a nice little unit. Comes with a good warrantly as well. The surefire does FEEL nicer though because it uses an aluminum bevel around the lens whereas the StreamLight uses a polycarbonate unit. It all comes down to personal preferance and budget. Add the DVD Star Wars Trilogy box set to my list.
