surefire sw02 rubber or nitrolon?

benchmade_boy · Oct 28, 2006

hi guys i have been looking things up on my next purchase the sw02 clicky tailcap from surefire. i am pretty sure the boot around the clicky is rubber but in a couple of places i have read that it has nitrolon so is the boot notrolon or rubber? what are they talking about that is on the sw02 that is notrolon if it is not the boot?

please help!

oh and sorry if this is the wrong forum

I don't know what crazy places you've been reading at but the SW02/Z48/Z49 has a rubber shroud. It is not, and never has it been ever Nitrolon.

The rubber shroud is pretty flexible - sufficient for me to remove but not quite enough for me to replace (somebody somewhere suggested I turn it inside out and somehow 'roll' it back on which is something I'll try sometime)

You meant www.supremeco.com.hk
And usually it has pretty good information.
Not this time though. I assume its a tpyo.

Oh Lord, comments like that will make him go out and buy more mirrors...:nana: :crackup:

I'll back up Al on this one... not that he needs me to back him up! It is a rubber or rubber-like shroud. I am appreciating the SW02 every day.

Maybe the nitrolon one is for the G2 and is actually MADE of nitrolon, but with a rubber boot.

benchmade boy,

The SW02 will be a nice addition to your M3T. It adds a better balance and feel to the light, though you lose the ability to do the Rodgers/Surefire grip with it. I don't like the SW02 so much on my M3, but on the M3T it feels and looks like it belongs there.

Neg2LED,
There is no Nitrolon version of the SW02 (or Z48/Z49 for that matter)

leukos,
That's why I removed the rubber shroud and also one or both of the CombatGrip spacer rings so I could still use the CombatGrip on the M3/M3T etc.

I agree, on the M3T and M4 the SW02 is right at home from an ergonomics perspective.

leukos- thank you so much for the pic i have loved your light ever since i saw some time ago that is what i want my light to look like. but why the diffusion filter? and where can i get one of those things that is green and on the end of your lanyard?

have a great day!

The beamshaper is excellent protection for the bezel against drops as well as turning the tight beam into a very usable flood when needed. That's a tritium glowring sold by Merkava: http://edcforums.com/index.php?topic=1195.0
