New to weapon lights. What is the difference between the standard and "clicky " switch?
Surefire standard tailcap is momentary only, unless you twist it to go on fulltime. A clicky switch is just that--you push it until it clicks on, and push again to change level or to turn off. Some clickies have a momentary feature where you press lightly for momentary activation.
So the 6Px Pro doesn't have a "clicky"? My impression was that it switches between the 15 and 200 lumen settings?
Both Pro models have clicky switches where clicking it on will turn on the 15-lumen low and turning it off and on again will give you the 200 lumen high mode.

I wonder if we'll be seeing a 9P/G3 9v variant...
Compared the 120 lumen 6P and 200 lumen 6PX. The hot spot of the 6PX is brighter and gives it more throw. The 6PX has a warmer tint. The tail cap on the 6P fit the 6PX.

Most excellent, thank you sir! So the bezel is removable on the X series.Quote:

You can spy the red thread lock on the body. Others report that their heads were stuck without some heat and elbow grease. It's not intended to be user-removed. :(
So if this light is to be used as a weapom light only, it sounds like the "tactical" model is the better choice over the "pro" model, right?
