Clip for KL1 on an E1...

[SCampbell]

Since the clip on the non-Elite E1 is on the bezel, it goes away if you install a KL1, right?

Is there any place besides Laser Products that carries E-series pieces/parts?

When I do get a KL1, I'll need a clip; and I'm assuming the E1 Elite clip will fit a non-Elite E1 with the KL1 in place???

Well, so much for that idea. Thanks to the most excellent photos on Sean's site, I see that the E1e clip is attached to the body of the light.

Rats....

Damn - I guess I need more than six minutes to get a helpful reply in here.

Yes, the E1e is the only answer if you want to retain the clip with the KL1 head. Bummer, huh?

 

[SCampbell]

Yup. Ah, who needs an LED for EDC anyway?

Of course, I could just put it in my pocket; but then I could use the X-5 for that.

Can the clip be taken off from the E1e or E2e?

Yes, the body has a dovetail and the clip can be pushed out. A brass punch and mallet would probably work.

If you are going to remove the clip from an e1e or e2e, make sure you take the o-ring off first. Learned that one the hard way.

Also, I had one that I could not remove by hand, so I took a flat blade screwdriver, put a piece of adhesive tape over the tip (to avoid scratches), and used a mallet. Put the screwdriver tip inside the U bend of the clip, and with one very light tap, it came out.
