#163 Shot Show 2025: Geoffrey Stout w/ SureFire LLC

In this After Dark episode of the Iron Sights Podcast, I sit down with Jeffrey Stout from SureFire. This conversation was recorded back at SHOT Show 2025, and I held onto it until now because they had some new product drops coming down the pipe. We talk about those, along with how SureFire designs, tests, and delivers gear that professionals and civilians alike depend on when it matters most.

Geoffrey’s a solid representative of SureFire and brought a ton of insight into the conversation. I’m not paid by them — I’ve just been a long-time user of their gear and know a lot of you are too. So whether you’re on the job, at the range, or just a student of the game, there’s something here for you. Sit back and enjoy this one.
