I just ordered a new Quark with another deep carry clip. It came and I immediately noticed the clips were much easier to remove and install than my old ones. I remember I could barely get the old ones off without using some sort of a prying tool. After one day of use, the new deep carry clip was sprung enough that the tip of the clip no longer touched the light. Looking back at my old clips, regular and deep carry, they are all very strong. I compared the old regular clip to my new clip that I removed on the new Quark, and it appears that all the new clips are not nearly as hard as the old ones.
In an email to 4Sevens, I asked if the steel was changed and they assured me it wasn't. So, they sent a replacement thinking it was just one bad clip. The replacement came and it is the same crappy clip I got before. Now, I am considering switching my EDC light because this clip is just not going to stand up to daily use at all. I just emailed them again to ask if they are going to do anything about the quality, but it appears I am the only one who has said anything about it. I can't believe nobody else has noticed, the difference is HUGE!
