I don't know of anyone that is still making a AA or AAA powered light that has a 1 inch diameter body, plenty have 1" heads but much slimmer bodies in order to save weight.
If you are dead set on those batteries you might be able to put something together using a 3xCR123 body with a battery sleeve and a low voltage drop in. If money wasn't an issue I would go with an Elzetta Charlie host, Oveready delrin sleeves and a Malkoff M31, it would cost about $185 plus shipping/handling and tax but I can't think of anything better.
If you want to build something a bit cheaper you could look for a used Surefire 9P as a host, or a 6P (or quality clone like a Solarforce L2) with a 16340 extension. You could also fashion your own battery sleeves to save some more money, but I would stick with the Malkoff M31. Even if the gun is just a range toy, the value per dollar of a Malkoff drop in is hard to beat in my opinion, the quality, durability and warranty are better than nearly any other drop in around.
