Does anyone have a photo of a Z49/49 tailcap without the rubber guard on the end? I like the clickie type switch, but the rubber guard gets in the way and I want to know if it can be removed without trouble.
Wow, the "naked" Z48/Z49 looks pretty good and seems more functional for holster use. I have an M3 with a Z48 tailcap but there's no way it works with the SOE holster cause the rubber housing is too big.
Do you just use brute force to remove the rubber housing or is there a special technique? And how about if I want to put the rubber housing back on? Is it possible after removal?
I tried the blow dryer method on 2 of my black Z49's and they were easy enough. But then I tried it on my HA Z48 and it's damn near impossible. Anyone else have this problem with the HA Z48's?
Update: Using the flat screwdriver head from a Swiss Army knife, I was able to just pry it off without any damage. Yay, 3 naked tailcaps.
