There have been quite a few posts concerning the pocketclips. This is an attempt to aid those who are wondering what to expect and how to adjust it. Please note, I'm speaking from what I've found to be present in my RC-2 and production Arc4. Your results may vary.
Expect the pocketclip to come in a seperate ZipLock (TM) bag with 2-screws. This bag will be contained in the bag which holds your Arc4 and instruction sheet. The 1st thing I suggest is to handle your light for a couple days without the pocketclip. See how that feels. When you're ready to install the pocketclip, dry fit it first. Hold it in position, line up the screws-holes and hold it flush to the mounting area. I expect you'll see about 1/4" space where the contact area would normally touch the cell tube. If you like it loose like that, find a small-head phillips screwdriver and go at it. I suggest putting the 1st screw in half way, that the other one. Take turns tightning up each screw, in turn. Don't overtighten. If you prefer a tighter fit, very carefully, get some softshell plyers or cover the U-bend of the clip with a towel or something. Take you plyers and very carefully squeeze at the point where the U-bend is on the clip. It's that bend which is closest to the bezel end up past where it would be mounted. Take it slow and squeeze softly and try the dry-fit test again. Repeat as needed, until the desired tension is achieved. Once completed, mount the pocketclip as instructed above.
A couple folks reported breaking the pocketclip. I expect that to be caused by either squeezing way too hard at the U-bend or possibly closing the bend too small then needeing to pry it opened again, causing the break. I've done 2-pocketclips so far and both have been fine.
