Surefire 6P tailcap

[DeLighted]

The tailcaps on original 6Ps, are they all twist ON and push button temp ON? Were there different tailcaps for original 6Ps?

Thanks

The old 6P and "6P Original" models came with twist-on switches from the factory. Surefire didn't even sell lights with clickie switches for over a decade.

After looking, to determine what the standard tailcap on my 9P was called, I realised that with all the Surefire tailcap switches out there, there is, post after post, looking for this information and nowhere was all this information in the same place. I'm hoping this post will become a sticky...

Which parts do you need ? Good chance I have.
