Yes I converted my 6P to LED with the KL3 head.  It's not as bright, but it works, battery life is supposed to be great.  Yes you can use it as a weaponlight.

I've put an inexpensive DX drop-in in my 6P, and it works great - too bright, and lots of battery life.  There are fewer issues with the cheap drop-ins in the 6P than the G2 because of the metal body.

That said, I'd be cautious about using an inexpensive drop-in for a weapon light, as quality control can be spotty.  Surefire's P60L is a good bet for the same approximate lumens with much longer battery life and good quality.  They haven't released the high output P61L yet, I don't think.

Got the SureFire LED replacement for the 6P and gave it to a friend. He absolutely loves it...brighter and better light than a new incandescant lamp he had recently replaced his 10 year old one with after it broke, and tons more battery life too. I was definitely impressed and will get a few more for my own older non LED SureFires as well.
