    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    [ QUOTE ] Lightedge said:The momentary "on" button can't even be depressed with one of these lamps in place. [/ QUOTE ] Okay, that really puzzles me. The tailcap switch is inside the tailcap and not mechanically subject to pressure from the battery compartment at all. I don't see how...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    [ QUOTE ] Lightedge said: I guess my question is do you lose the momentary on functionality of the GL3 with this mod? I've tried it with several P90/P91's with the same result. [/ QUOTE ] I don't know how to explain the problem you're having. Mine still works normally with the modified P91 in...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    I'm interested in your reasons for filing down the reflector. Mine seemed to fit just fine without that, so I'm wondering what I missed. --Bob Q

    Where can I get a Surefire G2Z Bezel by itself?

    I have a Surefire G2 in which I have installed a P61. It hasn't melted the lens yet, but I understand that it probably will eventually. I'm not sure I'm up to the procedure for replacing the lens, so I am interested in getting a G2Z bezel instead. My problems is this... There are many...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    [ QUOTE ] pizzajoe62 said:does the collar grind off easily?? hand filing it wouldn't be a problem? [/ QUOTE ] The collar is just hard plastic, so it isn't difficult to grind. I'd guess that filing it by hand all the way around would take less than twenty minutes. ...possibly a lot less if...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    I feel more than a little sheepish showing pictures of my ugly work, but I hope it will help clarify what needs to be done for this to work. (I also hope no one ground away the gold band that goes around the outside of the reflector based on my inadequate descriptions.) Note that these are all...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    [ QUOTE ] pizzajoe62 said: bob, the X you are refering to is the collar where the reflector sits on or the inner cylinder? [/ QUOTE ] What I referred to as X is actually a single piece that incorporates both of those elements, but the "collar" is the area where it has to be ground down to a...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    I trimmed it down using a belt sander, but that's only because I had one handy. You could achieve the same results, albeit more slowly, using a Dremel or even a hand file. Just grind away around the outside of the circle, a little at a time, until the flared reflector hood actually touches the...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    It will probably be a few days before I can post pictures, but I'll try to get to it soon. In the meantime, let me attempt a more detailed and coherent explanation of what I did. This is from memory, but I just did it last night, so it's still pretty current. On the P91 I received, there is...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    My P91 arrived today as well. To my mild frustration it did not fit in the GL3, even after I removed the outer spring. The plastic collar below the outer spring sticks out just a little too far for the whole thing to seat properly. At the same time, that outer spring doesn't hang up on...

    Pila G3 and surefire P91

    I hope the first person to actually modify a P91 to fit in a Pila will post their experience here. This sounds like a great option for the G3, but I'd like to know whether just clipping the spring is really all that's needed. And approximate runtime data would be really nice too... --Bob Q
