Can Surefire U2 stand on it's tail?

[U2Lover]

Hello there, I just found this amazing sight! *yay* I'm going to get a Surefire U2 because I LOVE the unique variable output and forward clicky. Brilliant U.I!

My question is, does anyone know if the light can stand upright on it's end - like a candlelight? I examined the U2 photos but the switch seems a bit protuding. Hmm.. maybe when it's switched on, the switch igets 'flat with the body' and it can be upright? Can somebody tell me please? Thanks.

Yes. Wait for the tailguard from Nekomane for U2.

it does NOT stand on its tail. however Nekomane made a bunch of tailguard replacements which solve this "problem". I use one and love it. Search the forum for z58 tailguard.

Pop out the lens on a F04 beamshaper, place on the tail and it will let the U2 tail-stand and function normally (Jars3d).


RPM is making a custom tailcap for the U2 with a McClickie and tail-stands also...

Lips: do you have a link to that?

just use the rubber from a F04

An F04 costs quite a bit more than those anti-roll rubber lens covers the AA MiniMag uses...they might fit, I can't get to mine at the moment to check out.

You could also buy a Z48 or Z49 tailswitch, although the color won't match.

Nekomane's Z58 tailguard is sold out, if I recall correctly.

 

[nekomane]

I have a handful of tailguards left.

They are not sold out but I just don't have the time to keep a sales thread open in a responsible manner.
Please email me (addy is in profile) if you are interested.
I may not be able to respond immediately, but within a day or 2. Thanks.

The accesory filter holder for a AA mini mag fits perfectly and stays on.
