I just purchased a G2 & P61 upgrade. I couldn't be happier with it, plus it's less expensive than the 6P.

I think current 6P's have flats milled on the sides. these flats may interfier with putting the light in a weaver ring.
The G2 will not fit in a 1" weaver ring. I have two G2's. The first one I gbought over a year ago. It is very well made. The more recent one appears to use a less dense plastic, and the switch isnt as "tight." Of course what do you expect for a $25.00 flashlight that comes with batteries. I'm pretty much at the point that I view the G2 as a spare battery and lamp carrier, that is shaped light a flashlight. |

Quoted: The G2 will not fit in a 1" weaver ring. What size rings will it fit in? |

Quoted: .... I'm pretty much at the point that I view the G2 as a spare battery and lamp carrier, that is shaped light a flashlight. Okay. But have you had any problems with your G2's?? From my experience and what I've seen with other AR15.com G2 users, the G2 is a durable little light. It can easily perform "personal light" duty, and does very well as an inexpensive weaponlight on a 5.56. IMHO, G2's are an incredible buy at $28. Not so much that they are underpriced (another $10 higher puts them out of their market), but that they are simply that good/durable. EDITED for a typo. |

Quoted: The G2 will not fit in a 1" weaver ring. I have a G2 Mounted in a el cheapo 1" ring on the side of my rail system. Granted, the ring will not close totally, but certain 1" rings will work. Mine is a two-piece ring that splits horizontally through the ears, and there is just a little gap left. - Nw - |

The G2 is better than the 6P in my experience. Same ratings; but cheaper and the Nitrolon body appears a lot more shock resistant than the aluminium body of the 6P.
For the price of a single 6P, you could have two G2s - which gives you a spare flashlight and batteries should your first G2 fail. The G2 will not fit in a 1" weaver ring. I am using a Millet low-mount 1" weaver ring to mount my G2 in and it fits in there. You have to open the rings all the way up to get it in there; but it does fit. Mine is a two-piece ring that splits horizontally through the ears, and there is just a little gap left. Same here. I paid $20 for two of the Millets at Academy; but you can buy cheaper versions of these through CDNN for $3-5 per ring. |

Try the TRG "Weapon Flashlight Mount". Fits dam near any flashlight and is rugged as hell. I think I saw pictures of the 82nd Airborne using them in Afghanistan+Iraq on their M4's. It also reqiures no tools what so ever.

Quoted: The G2 will not fit in a 1" weaver ring. [gary coleman]What'ch you talk'n about Willis?[/gary coleman] I've got two G2's sitting in 1" rings right now. I even ran a night course with a G2 in a 1" ring. I'm pretty much at the point that I view the G2 as a spare battery and lamp carrier, that is shaped light a flashlight. ?? I much prefer my G2s to my 6P. Lighter, cheaper (like half the price), textured grip, and can take dropping much better (got that from a Surefire rep). I just wish they made the 6v classic weapon light in their plastic - it would sure help with weight. |

I must admit that I have to agree about the tailcap issue. It's disappointing when you have to chase around the 'guts' of your t/c if you're not being careful during a battery change. BF |

I must be different, I change the batteries by removing the lamp. Once I get the tail end set to where I like it I just hate moving it. Now I know there is a better reason not to remove the tailcap.

I have other 1" rings, that use 4 screws instead of the two screws common to a Weaver ring, that will work. |
