The best CQB Light/AR setup??

[blake6551]

Grant, how much are the new XT07s and when will they be available?

So those must be the new version of those switches.

I wonder when my replacements will show up?

I called SF customer service earlier today to see what the status of my XT switch was. I was told that my replacement should go out next week.
I just sent mine out to them two weeks ago. Maybe try giving them a call on Monday to refresh their memory, as I doubt
you will get any real satisfaction from asking in this thread.

im assuming theres nothing about the design of the new back panel which requires you to mess with the mounting hardware on the X300(6 screws on the bottom)?

i wouldnt think so but i want to be sure...i stripped one of the screws during install and my fix was somewhat permanent.

For the piston ARs, the gas will be dispersed on the flashlight with that setup (12 o'clock).

I've been told "end of the month" every time I've contacted them, which has been periodically over the course of the past 12 months.

I'm not looking for satisfaction from Surefire in this thread, I'm just relaying the information that this particular switch had (and may have) some serious durability issues and that its taken Surefire a long time to figure them out.

The problem with that setup (as with all pressure switches) is that you have a loose wire on your gun. It is vulnerable and easy to snag. Too bad they don't make a bluetooth version.

nice setup Grant, I got to see gotm4's similar setup in the shop today...

I've been kicking around the idea of modifying one of these tailcaps to have this pressure switch and wire. I'd have to order one with extra length wire and then modify it (solder?) to work the the replacement tailcap. My photoshop-fu is weak tonight, but the pic below shows what I'm thinking:

I'm looking to mount the X300 as close to the front of my FSB as possible in the 12 o'clock position. This modified tailcap assy would allow me to run the soft wired pressure switch wherever I want (without the bulk).

Is something like this doable?

I can sell you the XT with a regual tape switch from SF if you want.

I like the idea of the 12 o'clock mounting position, but frankly, I think I'll wait and see if these switches hold up before declaring this a winning set-up. I had two of the first versions of the SR07 and neither of them survived a single trip in the range bag before the switches broke in the exact same places.

Since I had to wait a year (and counting) for Surefire to actually replace mine, I think I'll hesitate on jumping on the bandwagon on these for a while. Is the tab that holds the switch shut still plastic?

This is the new setup. The switches I have run in the past (old version) held up for me.

You do not mess with the rail adaptor (other than install the Picatinny plate in).
