I just got a Q3 and it's behaving funny. The momentary on doesn't work. It turns on, but when the putton is pressed it turns off. It wont turn on until after the click and the button in completely released. I don't want to bother with returning it. Does anyone know a simple fix?

The Q3 doesn't have a 'momentary on' since it's a 'reverse-clicky', eg: 'momentary off'

The switch was redesigned on later models.
They call it their tactical version and it's a modified reverse clicky that does give momentary on.

The original Q3 had reverse clickies. Many of the newer specimens have normal clickies with momentary on.

The momentary new clickies are still reverse. They just have a second contact that makes it light up with a little pressure. It's not a true momentary switch.
Press a little, you get light
Press harder, it goes back off and clicks
Release and it latches on.
