I just bought 2 17500's, McClicky switch and a Pila charger. I also want to get a Malkoff 91 once you guys help me sort this mess out. Right now it's running a P91. It works fine off primaries but since adding the McClicky and the 17500's not so good. At first I would get a slight flicker depending how I press the switch. I put the primaries back with the McClicky and it works great. I searched here and found it could be related to the negative spring on the P91 not fitting around the 17500. I bent the spring and got it to turn on a few times but not consistently.
Upon further testing the light will come on if push the switch down at an angle not straight down. I can maybe do this 3 times in a row before that stops working also. I pulled the switch back out and tried to lengthen the spring. The spring and the retention clip popped off. Ughhhhhhh It took a while but I got it back together. It is still doing the angle thing and won't work with a straight press. I may have messed the switch up as it seems harder to get it to work now.
A couple times I unscrewed the bezel with primaries and as the bezel was close to coming off the light would come on. I assume the switch was pressed on but it's hard to keep track of all the presses when nothing happens. I know this is a bit long but I didn't want to leave anything out. Maybe just putting in the Malkoff will solve everything? I am really stumped here and need some help. Thanks!!!!!
