Shreknow91 · Dec 23, 2007

tis there any other option for a clickie tailcap for a G2 besides the one offered bt Surefire themselves.
if not, is there somewhere i can get it cheaper than the 38 dollars i see it everywhere?

Thanks

and if this is in the wrong place, im sorry, feel free to move it to an appropriate place

yup, it'll fit it…

Sometimes some custom ones do crop up in the Custom B/S/T section but I don't think it will be cheaper than $38.

IMO buying an SF TC would be beneficial since they do have excellent warranty....

These all fit and function on the Nitrolon bodies

you know.... i would think they would make a clicky switch out of the same material as the body of the G2.
I dont know, maybe im crazy.....:duh2:

No, that would be too friggin easy!

SW02 would look pretty good at the other end of the tube from my KL3.

So many lights/accessories, so little $$$

You can get cheap Solarforce Clickswitch for Surefire from Ebay :

Nextorch makes switches that fit the 6P/G2. Black only and they tailstand too. Do a Google search under Nextorch. Lighthound also sells a L6TCO Tops Stryker Tailcap that I'm fairly certain fits the 6P/G2 as well.

I haven't seen anyone that sells an nitrolon clicky but I ran across a web site showing a mod to make the tail cap a clicky, plus a interesting additional mod.

I have a couple Nextorch switches, they're reverse clickies but work well with the G2.

On further review Z49 would be a better color match to my KL3.

Doesn't mean I'll ever HAVE one however.

I thought there was a thread awhile back where someone modded their nitrolon twisty tailcap to a clicky...

jbviau · Dec 26, 2007

Yup, it was this one, but the guy did it with an older, non-LOTC tailcap.

I'll bet you could do it with a McClicky also.

Sgt. LED · Dec 26, 2007

Tell me how to put a McClicky in a G2 LOTC. I will do it, I have a spare clicky, as long as it doesn't destroy the ability to switch back to OEM. Who am I kidding, tell me and I'll destroy the OEM option!

if you go to the sandwich shoppe and find the mcclicky, then there's a link to a CPF thread on how to install the mcclicky into a twisty tailcap. You can also get some two stage options, but for the low option you need to know how many ohms you want(eg: know how much you want to impede the flow of current to the LED, thus dimming it).
