I had considered getting one of the Raven Concealment Systems pocket clips designed for the SureFire P and G series lights but never got around to buying one. However, after reading Kestrel's great write-up on a Low light / Night fire class I decided to try one out. The clip arrived Friday and I have been very pleased with it so far.
The clip is made of high-strength spring steel and features a removable O-ring which can be used to aid in gripping the light and also act as a sort of finger lanyard. This feature allows the light hand to be used for another task, such as reloading a weapon, without having to set the light down or stow it somewhere.
Unlike some rings, such as the SureFire lanyard ring, the clip actually has a small gap in its circumference to allow the installation and removal of the O-ring. Also unlike the SF ring, the RCS clip actually grips the body of the light and will not spin freely, regardless of whether or not it is secured by the tailcap. It is still possible to rotate the clip but it has done a reasonable job so far of staying in place. Because the clip installs between the tailcap and the body it is possible that some "twisty" style tailcaps may not work in constant-on mode.
One of my favorite things about the clip is that it will work just as well on many other lights that have 1" bodies, regardless of the manufacturer. Naturally I had to try it out on a bunch of different lights and even wrote a mini-review of the clip.
That brings me to the point of this thread - I know there are a lot of CPF members who own this clip and use it on a variety of lights but I have never seen a listing of all the lights it is compatible (or incompatible) with. I thought it would be a good idea to pull this information together in one thread as a service to anyone considering the clip. Share your experiences with the clip and I will add them to the list!
I will start off with my observations. Most of these are based upon a sample size of one so I wouldn't be surprised to hear of someone having different results than what I observed.
