==History== John Matthews founded the Newport Corporation in 1969, which specialized in industrial lasers and photonics. After Matthews developed a laser sight, he, Peter Hauk, and Ed Reynolds founded the spin-off company, Laser Products Corporation on October 17, 1979. In 1984, the company supplied the Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department with shotgun laser sights for use during the 1984 Summer Olympics. In the same year, the company also supplied and supported production of the film The Terminator, where it provided the laser sight used by Arnold Schwarzenegger and is listed in the end credits. Laser Products developed its first "SureFire" branded product — a handgun mounted light in 1985. Laser Products Corporation became SureFire, LLC in 2000. More recently, SureFire attained ISO9001:2000 certification in 2008.
