has anyone compared the different 6P switches for resistance?
With the types of switches that are commonly used in flashlights, would it even make a difference?

:thinking:

I don't have any aftermarket switches for my 6p to test, but the contact plate in the stock cap should offer less resistance than say, a reverse clicky switch with its smaller contact area and additional contact points from the mechanism inside the plastic housing.

Switch resistance is measured in milliohms, but I imagine it can still make a difference on direct drive/incan lights.
