There is a one cell (CR-123) extender available on AliExpress and Amazon for the Surefire 6P type bodies.

The original Surefire A19 extender is no longer available and I don't recall Malkoff ever producing one either.

I decided to bite the bullet and try one and I have been very pleased with it. The fit and finish match the original Surefire bodies perfectly and the extender is bored for 18mm batteries so I tried it on some of my Malkoff MD bodies and it also fitted them perfectly.

The anodised finish appears to be a Type 2 and matches the original finish of the early Surefire lights perfectly. It is a little bit more shinny that the Malkoff Type 3 anodised finish (see photo's below).

I ordered the Knurled version from AE and it arrived in Spain within 7 days, the extender was supplied with two 'O' rings, it is also available in a non-knurled version. It cost me less than $15 including shipping and VAT.

It's obviously a cheap way to extend a body to allow 9v drop-ins to be used without the expense of a new body.

Interesting. Earlier today I was just thinking that I wish I'd bought another Solarforce extension back in the day.

Maybe I'll get two of these to put onto my 6P so it can run a P90 on two 16650 cells. Hmm.

I have some Solarforce ones laying around to trade fir a head and tailcap to fit solarforce
 
I added one of these to a 9P. With a C-M adapter and a Lumens Factory mini turbo head this thing is a beast!
Sorry, know this is an old post. LF specifically says their M heads will not work with a C body using the adapter. Which doesn't make sense, maybe a translation issue…. Did you have to perform any fitting to make it work?
