Big light tail click

After getting my first small light without a tail click, I realized how nice they are when in a hurry.
I also thought about one on a 3C or above light and wonderred if anyone had built one like on my old brinkman. The button sticks out a fair amount and is as wide as the light.
Such a switch on a larger light, maybe with a lock-out, could be used singlehandly (by giants) or by bouncing it off your hip.
Any thoughts?

Well I don't think this one has a lock-out "tag-out" tail switch but it is a nice one located here:

Check it out if you've not done so already. Enjoy!

I've seen those and they are very nice but I suspect it would be hard to turn on with just one hand and that is a frequent need for me.
I want one that sticks out of the body so I can tap it against my hip or head to turn it on.

Actually it isn't that difficult at all. I have one in my MagHID. For me I didn't notice any "hardship" with it like the rest of my SureFire's. Simply orienting your thumb over the button and depress, much like the protruding SureFire's among others.

Either way Enjoy!
