Ok, ditched the 6PD and got a C2-HA. And I am a fan! :thumbsup:

It's already been tricked out with a NB SST50 3 level drop-in, 17670, and a McClicky. It's blasting about 550 lm and it's fantastic! I'm with you guys now, I really like the C2-HA! :bow:
 
Fresh out of the OVEREADY 'skunkworks':

1) Do most C2 owners prefer the factory bezel-up clip or do they want a bezel-down clip ala LX2?

2) Where do most people clip it to?

3) How do you pull it out bezel-up?

3) How do you pull it out bezel-up? I don't with the LX2 Clip!

It's good. I think the first batch of LX2 clips might of broken away a bit too easy but the 2 I have here now are sturdy.

The C2 with one of these clips rides in a pocket pretty well.

Awesome! Around when did you get the 2 you have now?
 
Around 3 months I'm pretty sure. The clip on my first run LX2 had a faint scored line where the clip flares out to attatch to the body and these do not.

Did your original LX2 clip break at that scored line? Sounds like a "stress-riser".
 
Sure did. Clean in half.
I then drilled a hole in it, sanded the broken edge smooth, put a split-ring on it, and made it a keychain "dangler" style. Waste not want not.
 
Noob here but I'm already a C2 addict.

Surefire C2-HA bored for 18650 with a Xenoled stainless steel crenelated bezel and McClicky switch in a Z41 tail cap. Looking to drop in a NB SST-50 3-mode REAL soon. :)

Wouldn't it be hard to get the GITD paint charged if you're in the dark? :huh:

Its still early in the testing process, but 'runtime' does seem to depend on use.

Charged for 10 seconds with a weak UV source or intense white source, it glows bright enough to read by for a full minute and can be seen across a room with dark adapted vision, sitting in the dark, for more than an hour. It can also, for example, sit under a table lamp charging slowly, then be visible after lights out for easy location. It would not, however, be glowing after days in a dark cabinet or drawer, away from external energy.

I'll try out options for 'self charging'...

I now finally have my pair of C-series (3-flats - round bottom) with this extremely early 'crosshairs' C2:
(very early clip - no lanyard attachment :cool:)

I am very very pleased with the perfect-condition lexan lens, and check out the removable hex bolt in the Z41 tailcap instead of the pressed-in rivet. :thumbsup: This should be perfect for Moddoo's Z41 low-resistance tailcap mod - all the other Z41's are much more difficult to take apart.

I have been looking for a C2 like this for well over a year. :party:
I really like how the 3-flats C-series bodies feel in the hand - much more comfortable than the newer 4-flats IMO.

My C3 is a user and this C2 will be as well.

Is that a Z59 in HAIII–black? I didn't know they made them in HA-BK. Where do I get one?

I say that despite the fact that the SF Z59 webpage states twice that they are finished in HA: Link. Anyone know if this is a misprint or are the Z59s now finished in HA-BK?
