Cleophis--
I bought an the Sure Fire 9-volt L91 light from Sable Co. I decided to go with this light because the techs at SF stated that the handheld 6P just WASN'T MADE to be used as a weapons light. He stated that even if I used the shock isolated bezel on the 6P it would eventually fail--as you found out. So, with this in mind, I decided to buy the light I mentioned above--the L91. It's also water proof. By the way, this is only the lamp module so you'll need to selec a tail swith cap to complete the unit. I went with the 5" pressure switch. The cost for the L91 was about $77, the cost of the tail switch housing was about $70 (I don't remember), plus I also bought a battery pack and got a deal on a GGG "Down and Dirty Mount." Total cost was around $200. But minus the GGG mount, you should be looking at around $170. I'm looking at using GGG's M3 light mount instead and attaching the light via an ARMS 22 throw lever light mount to mount it to the M3 light mount, which is essentially a small picatinny rail. Don't know yet, though.
You could also look at getting a Millenium series light. This lights are different in that they come with either a thumb screw or ARMS throw lever mount BUILT into the body of the tac light. They do run a little more, though. A comprable light to my L91 light would be the M962PN, which is the MU System, 9 Volt, Monetary-On, A.R.M.S. Lever Mount, Waterproof model at [b]$303[/b].
