Surefire 6P clips for the bezel end

Looking for something to keep my 6P nearby, but all I've been able to find is this home brew masterpiece:



It comes from this thread in the Marketplace but the author doesn't visit very often... I've PM'd them in case they are doing these as a living.:nana:

Are there other - similar - options available? I've checked Lighthound, and their stuff is OOS or not what I'm after (tailcap mtg).

Solarforce makes clips that fit the bezel end of C-series bodies.

The Solarforce clip is the only production item that does this. It is bi-directional in that it can be used bezel-up on 6p/9p size lights, and bezel down on the 3p form factor.

I cut off the outer bend that allows for bezel-down carry, ground the end smooth and wire-wheeled the whole thing for uniformity, although the clip is now rusting on the surface.

Still waiting for someone to make a real stainless bezel-up clip. They would sell like hotcakes.

EDIT: Added pic of Solarforce clips, modified.

why would you want to carry bezel up? I prefer bezel down. Due to crenelations on my lights

this is one of the reasons i assembled this:





if you have a e2e or similar body and a e-series tailcap you can buy a vital gear e2c adapter ($30 or so) and make this one, then you will have the clip, a slimmer but still strong body (which with the clip is great to carry in pants pockets), and the options to assemble a 3Ptype of light with an e1e/e1l body

That's why most dropins use inner and out springs, to make up for any tolerances.

Found this on Botach today. Not the ideal solution, but it might work for some.

True, but for something like a Malkoff there would be the need for a washer or something similar, still its easy to make it fit and work.

the solarforce clips are alright, fit my G2 perfectly have some pics of it here

Why would a Malkoff-equipped light need a washer? Isn't there already a small gap between head and body after installation?


(I like this idea. Lighthound has them and the price is right.)
