I have 3 surefires with round bezels and lexan lenses. The beams always have a hotspot surrounded by a round circle of spill light with a crisp clean edge. I recently obtained a C2 bezel in a trade and it has a pyrex lense and a sort of retaining ring that appears to hold the lense in place. The retaining ring has notches that appear to there for a tool to utilize, I guess for removing the ring.

I just bought a new G2. It seems to have a lexan lense but it also has that notched retaining ring, unlike my old style 6P,9P and 8X.

The round circle of spill light on the G2 and on the 6P using the C2 bezel has a notched edge around the circumference, instead of the clean crisp circle edge with the old bezels.

The crisp clean edge looks much better on the wall although I doubt if it matters in normal use.

Why does the G2 have that notched retaining ring in the front of the bezel when it has a lexan lense? Anyone know what I'm talking about?.. lol
