brian, I understand the frustration. I do thing SureFire lights are the best in their niche but I agree, The smaller lights would be 2000% in my opinion with bezel down clips. When I say smaller lights, I mean the 9volt light such as Centerion all the way down to the E2. I do not think that a clip is appropriate for the E1, at least for my uses. I have purchased 8 Surefire lights and have been almost a walking billboard for their products. 5 years ago I was involved in a legal shooting in Indiana. 4 people on the other side are in Jail today as a result, a bezel down SureFire would have helped greatly. Unfortunatly some of the criminals will be getting out of jail soon. The sentences were 20, 10, 10, and 7 years but that is not how long they will serve. While I think SureFire has the best lights in their class, If someone came out with a light 1/2 as good and had a properly designed bezel down carry clip option, I would abandon SureFire in a second. Carry pouches are not an option for me and will not have them. One of my big complaints about the bezel up carry is the swithch, When I am in the office or in the car seat sometimes the switch comes into contact with the seat or a fold in my pants and drains the batteries. I might try and see if a true custom gunsmith had the skill to do a quality job towards a proper bezel down clip. I might be willing to pay 10 times the price of the light if it is a professionally done conversion.
