I use Surefire z68 tailcaps that I modify to be momentary only. Pretty easy mod to do. There was a video on the tactical response channel that I learned from. You can also see the mechanism the click style switches use by taking apart a typical clicky pen. There are four protrusions on part that sticks out the end of the cap (the piece you actually depress). Cut those off and your tailcap will no longer click into the on position. If anyone is interested, I can toss together a quick video showing the process within the next few days

TLDR: Parts may be "compatible", but Surefire isn't supporting or condoning the use of aftermarket accessories. I received a defective Surefire UE tail cap with my Modlite PLHv2 package. The light kept actuating under recoil and remained stuck in the on position. When I removed the tail cap it had an audible rattle and the terminal seemed loose. I contacted Modlite and they said I needed to return it to Surefire. Surefire said their tail caps are not compatible with non-Surefire products, but would look at it. A few weeks later, they returned to me with a note saying it's fine (it isn't). In the meantime, I had bought another Surefire tail cap. It doesn't rattle and it works fine. So in summary, I'm out $60 because I bought a defective Surefire product from Modlite. Heads up if you intend to mix and match.

Also, i bought all the lights from reputable dealers, none are fake. I'm not even hard on my lights either. Normal EDC conditions.

I had a Chinese scout pro clone on a 22, and the mount was really nice. Cleared iron sights, had the perfect amount of room to swivel in close and not catch on anything. So I got a couple surefire pros for my defense guns. The swivel mount on the pro brought the light in closer than Chinese one did, so I couldn't get it to mount how I wanted and how the Chinese one would to any of my guns. So now I have streamlights and an olight on my rifles and surefires in a box.

I'm pretty sure the rein doesn't work at full power like the other lights with surefire switches (which is why they refused to integrate surefire compatibility for so long). But the other reason is that the surefire comes out of the box in the same configuration, with a mount. And isn't nearly as LORGE Of the lights though, on raw performance, the Rein and Turbos are very close. It's more of the QoL aspects.

I've been wanting an XVL2 but I've got a ton of the older bodies as posted here. Always something .

Screw flashlights… Are we going to get an AK BF video? Or did I miss something…
