tkl: sometimes when i prefer to hold the C2 (or any other small flashlight) in a more comfortable position, i put the body of the flashlight on top of my last two fingers, with my second and middle finger wrapped around it and my thumb pressing on the tailswitch. without the grip ring it still is possible, but i would have to grip the light more tightly and rely on friction to keep it from slipping. in the case of the E2/E2e the tailswitch is noticeably stiffer than the C2, so the situation is made worse.
in the usual overhand method, i find i can also hold the C2 with a more relaxed grip, relying on the grip ring as a physical obstruction, instead of relying on friction to keep the light from slipping out of my hand. lastly the position in which the grip ring is designed to be used for (roger/surefire) feels very natural to me; no odd contortions of the wrist needed to point the light directly up or down like in the "tactical" position or the normal position that maglites are usually held in.
hope that made sense...if not, let me know and i'll try to post some pictures taken with a lousy webcam /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

aha! you use the combat grip. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif yes, i find i do the same thing when holding a sf with the grommets.
this is a good grip but drawing from a pocket was a bear. it's better off in a holster, i don't like holsters.
