I don't think so.
I also think putting a flashlight on a firearm is extremely stupid, but that's just me.
I have a 4 D cell Maglight LED. It's extremely bright and the batteries last for a long time with the LED bulb. SUPER bright, and will easily blind someone temporarilly.
It's also really good for a self defense tool, something that holds much value for a repossessor. Even better, it's an obvious deterrant. No one wants to get smacked upside the head with a bigass metal flashlight.
A tiny little sure fire isn't going to intimidate anyone, is worthless as a head knocker, lacks a focusable beam, so has very short range. They're also very expensive, as are the batteries they use, and they go through them FAST. Their one real upside is that they're extremely compact.
