Protected Tail caps for the Surefire 6P?

Besides the Leef McClicky Tailcap,

does anyone know of another protected button tail-cap that will fit the Surefire 6P?

I was hunting for the same thing.

I thought this would be nice with a strike bezel.

I actually have that one and with a strike bezel you will have pointed weapon on both ends. The "Tri point" design is actually fairly sharp. I like the completely enclosed one is what I want but they are out of them at the moment. So I was wondering if there was anything else on the market.

Surefire Z49 is the black one, for HA it's the Z48.

 

[warx23]

This would be pretty nifty.

Yeah that's the Z48 and Z49 made by Surefire. You can buy them separatly from the light. I have a Z49 on my 6PL and love it!

There is also the SW02 switch but its kinda pricey.

princy and long and clumsy to use, as you have to position thumb carefully above rubber boot, so not for quick deploy. Do get tailstanding, though.

Doh!.. I actually used the wrong link. This is the item I thought was nifty.

Ok that is neat, where would one get a hold of one?

Hi All, newb here

I use a maglight anti-roll device and slip it over the tail cap of my 6P. I got this idea from reading a different thread on CPF. I had to add a rubber ring under the anti-roll device so that the button is protected and so my 6P can tail-stand. Without a rubber ring, the button sticks out a bit. The one downside to this modifcation is that it makes the end of your 6P almost as wide as the head...but for me it's no big deal.

This method is a little ghetto-style, but it's a cheap solution until I can get my hands on something nice like what's been mentioned above.
I bought the anti-roll device as part of the maglight AA accessory pack.

Is that thing pretty elastic? Will it stretch over the 6P bezel, and not obstruct the light output? Ive been wanting to add some thing to protect the bezel.

No, it's not elastic. It's fairly rigid and will fit like a glove over the tail of the 6P. The bezel diameter is too big.
