Is it because the tail cap doesnt come apart? I'd love to see a refinished HDS in a polished finish Or a Matte Black, gloss black?

My guess... K.I.S.S = function over form. I had thoughts of doing something to mine, but I EDC my EDC, so no point in my eyes really.

I think that polished aluminum is now a bit out of favor since it scratches when you look at it sideways. Unusual treatments are usually reserved for custom makers trademark lights or very cheap hosts like mags.

Personally, I like the my HDS the way it is.
