I tried to move from a P3D to the PD35 but it is just that much too long and always gets stuck at the bottom of my pocket. Do they make a 18650 sized light that is more P3D sized in length? Any recommendations?

Guys forgive me to leaving out that one of the reasons I carry it is a defensive light that I might want to deploy quickly. This is one of the reasons why I like the tailcap button - I've got one of my old P3D's setup with the extended button on the end. So I need to be able to get it out and get it full bright quickly. I also use it for every day use and often switch between light levels...

The DX30LC2 has no mode memory, it always starts on max. The tail switch has no protective "wings" around it, so it's easy to activate from any orientation. It might also be easier to activate in your pocket by accident, but I haven't had any trouble with that yet. There's no quick access to strobe, if that matters to you. Other modes require the side switch, and quick access to low mode from off requires pressing the side switch and tail switch simultaneously
It's a good 1/2" shorter than the PD35, and significantly smaller in diameter. Looks like the P3D is about 3/8" shorter still, but that's without the extended switch.
I think you mean the D25LC2 (without the "X").

Tachead - I agree - it isn't my only defensive tool, just one of. I always carry a fixed knife I can access with one hand if needed and a 9mm, either PM9 in my pocket or G19 on the waist if I can dress for it. Been to some training; could always use more.
