The rev1 was sometimes known for coming apart like that, but it's much better on my rev2
They definitely fixed that issue with rev. 2. My rev. 1 never actually came apart, but it did concern me somewhat.
thanks for the heads up
it is also on sale at county.com for $55
Congrats! I note BHQ also sells the Maratac Copper AAA shipped, for $15.50 less than CountyComm.I just picked a rev2 up at BHQ for 55. I love it!
trueLooks like they upped the price to $75....
What's with the disclaimer at the bottom of the product page saying that CountyComm does not recommend using RCR123's ?
I haven't seen too many pics of the Maratac Copper 123 disassembled, so I can't verify, but has anyone had this issue with their copper 123?
"They suffer from a issue that makes them worthless to me. I can't figure why so many are willing to overlook it. The o-ring is situated too close to the body. You can not loosen the head adequately to ensure the light is shut off without making it so loose the head falls off."
I would appreciate any first hand experience. Thank you.
Jon, the rev2 was definitely better than the Rev 1. Though still not ideal for a twisty. I think there was a lot a variation on the rev1. My father still carries and uses his rev1 daily and has never had any problem losing the head.But.... was the fatal flaw of the poor the oring placement fixed?!

Interesting. The video shows lightly longer threads than the Rev 2 and the tail is different as well....
