Surefire Clips

[computernut]

I'm finding that many of my Surefires are developing loose clips. The tension is still tight on them but they wiggle back and forth. I finally replaced a clip on one of my A2's with a piece of trimmed plastic and now the light feels much nicer in the hand. Does anyone out there manufacture a nice plastic insert that's maybe GITD?

To go under the clip or in place of the clip?

I could make an insert to take the place of the clip I bet. :thinking:
I can prototype on Tuesday I think.

I'd like to replace the clip entirely. I find it gets in the way of a good grip and they're always getting loose. I've never had the need to actually clip the light to anything as I usually stick it in a pocket or in a holster.

I took a piece of plastic from a fishing box insert and trimmed it with knife. It works ok but not the nicest looking thing.

Interesting idea for people who want to carry one without a clip, as I sometimes do.

For example, if you just remove the clip of an A2, this leaves a gap where there's nothing to hold the O-ring properly in place when tightening the head.
