Tape pressure switch for G2?

Does anyone make a tape switch that will fit the G2 and/or is it possible to hack surefires tape switch into the G2? Trying to make a poor mans tac-light for my mossberg 500. Thanks for any info fellow CPF'ers.

I just saw a post by DumboRAT:

"In my other hobby, airsoft, the G2 is a very popular choice in building "weaponlight" modifications to our replica pistols and rifles. One item that's been a favorite add-on to the SureFire lights is the G&P tailcap, which includes a 6" remote pressure tape switch. "

You may want to contact him for more details...

check this site out,

they got a bunch of G&P stuff. G&P is basically some cheap taiwanese Surefire knockoffs that many airsofters use, I don't know about their quality, but I will say don't depend your life on it... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/icon3.gif

i think this is what he was talking about to be more specific:

6P's got it. =)

Here's a US airsoft hardware retailer that carries the "G&P" brand product:

Specifically on this page:

Last row down, third column, description: "G&G GP6 Tactical flashlight pigtail switch $20.00"

There's a slight problem in that although the vast majority of G2s will work with this item, a minority will not.

My quote above came from this thread:

Which as you will see, Size15s made a guess as to why my KL3 refused to work on two of my three G2s.... It could be that this very same issue is at work.

Strangely enough, with all three of my G2s, this particular G&P pigtail worked just fine.

Go figure. =P

Regardless, I would take 6pOriginal's advice to-heart. While fine for everyday use and for airsoft/paintball skirmish gaming, I definitely wouldn't trust it for my life on this accessory in a home-defense or any type of police/military application (on firearms, etc.).

PS: Would this SureFire tail cap replacement ( http://www.lightfighter.com/item.html?PRID=1320545 ) work with the G2s?

That is the S06:

and NO, it will not work with a G2 TailCap. I've tried. The Sxx switch assemblies require a Classic Z31 (Non-LockOut TailCap)

I do not have one, but the UUxx TailCap Tape Pressure Switches for the Millennium Universal Series should work on the G2/G2Z

Yes,the UUxx pressure switches for the Millenniun Universal series will work with the G2/G2Z.

Street price for the UUxx is between $50/$60US.

The UUxx series of switches from Surefire are highly reliable and designed for tactical situations.

Thanks for the info guys.I'll guess i'll try the cheaper G&P first, go plinkin and see how it holds up.I've read some stuff (can't recall where) about using regular surefires as weapons lights and they hold up fairly well !?
I'll give it a try & post results. Thanks
