I noticed my L1 was acting weird today. I took a look inside the tailcap, and the second of three "contact prongs" has fallen off. The first fell off some time ago, but now the second one is gone. When the last one goes, then no more low mode for me.

Is this a common problem? I've been hanging around here a while and haven't seen this come up before. It seems like most issues are with clickies.

I took a look on Surefire's site, and I don't see the Z62 tailcap for the L1/A2/L2 listed. I changed out my resistor, so no warranty for me, but I would like to buy a new one before it fails completely. Does anyone know if I can get this part from Surefire? If not, I'll hang out in BST until I see one, but I'm not sure how often those surface.
 
I called Surefire, and told them that I broke my tailcap and wanted to buy a new one. The lady said that they can't sell me one, but they can send one out for free.

I was really surprised - I made sure to let them know that it was my fault, but they said they will send a replacement regardless.

+1 for Surefire going above and beyond!
