I love the K40 light. But I hate the lack of thumb slots and the lack of a place for the lanyard attachment ring to hide.
So after delivering an order to a fire crew, that did not like these issue's as well. I decided to make a run of custom tail caps to fix these problems.
To secure the work I had to purchase a large minimum order. So I will have extra's to sell here to the CPF community.
If you would like to get one, the cost is $28.00 Shipped CONUS.
They will ship with New Black boot, retaining ring, and fresh O ring.
Easy swap of the switch electronics from your stock tail cap, and enjoy a proper thumb position with perfectly level tail standing.
I will have more details and options soon. Switches, colored boots, custom lanyards, and more K40 goodies.
thanks for looking. H.D. Caps now in stock.

These also fit the Deft -X

Put me down for one. Just like you, I love the K40, but hated the lack of thumb slot and the edge of the tail is a little sharp.

Does it fit both K40 versions? Or is the SupBeam different?

I need to make the 2nd half of the payment by Sun. so it would help if it was before then.
There are 46 available. and looks like they will be here sooner than I thought.

These also fit ThruNight's TN31. So if if you want to replace a banged up one, these will work.

A word of warning. If you intend to replace the TC on a TN31, be sure you can get the old one off. They aren't nearly as easy to remove as the K40 TC. Good old Loctite, liberally applied, on the Thrunite.
