Just got mine form Calvin at "Brightflashlights.com" who took my order over the phone on Thursday Evening (actually called me back), and I received the switch on Monday via USPS Priority Mail. Outstanding!
This is the "TG" model remote switch for a TRP and an X200A light.
1st thing is that SF doesn't tell you in the instructions that you should remove the mounting plate from the light before trying to take off the old switch. Hence...I broke one of the hinges on the original momentary, On/ Off swithch. Oh well, no back-up.
So, after breakng the original switch, I took off the mounting plate, and the new one snapped right on. Perfect.
The first thing I noticed is that the pressure switch doesn't go all the way back to the to the Springfield TRP frame front strap. I was dismayed by this because I wanted a switch that "in the middle of the night", could be activated by my strong hand like the other remote switches SF makes for other gun models when there isn't time for a 2 hand hold. The "TG" switch is activated by the "Weak Hand" grip top finger under the trigger gaurd. I now believe this is by design. (More below)
Secondly, the switch needs to be adjusted (bent into place) to properly fit under the trigger gaurd. Out of the box, the switch had about a 1/4" gap between it and the bottom of the trigger gaurd which could allow for the switch to snag on a piece of clothing, bedspread etc.
This is no problem. Just a little bending (very rigid material, but pliable) here and there, and you're good to go. There is also no interference when using my Blade-Tech Thigh Rig Holster.
I have re-thought my initial desire for a strong hand activated pressure switch due to the following:
1. By just grabbing your weapon with a switch that is controlled by your already "adrenaline filled" grip, you will most certaintly activate the "White Light" ..whether you intended to or not. With the "Weak Hand" activation, you need to think a little more before the light comes on. Not much more, but enough.
2. If the BG is so close to you in the middle of the night (Like right up your fanny)...he needs to be incapacitated immediately. In this situation I don't agree with those who question if the intended target is a "Possible Family Member" that is not properly identified.
If someone has already come through my locked bedroom door, and is 3 feet from me, advancing, and is already "Up my fanny"...they're going to get it.
So much for..."always be sure of your target." Perfect in theory, but again in this instance (which is very possible)...when the threat is that close, has already broken in and you don't have time for a proper 2 hand hold...it needs to be stopped!
(Boy.... I just know I'm going to get some heat on this one!)
Overall, this switch exhibits the same top quality we have come to expect from Sure Fire. It is rugged, well designed, and very functional (so much better than the original switch whhich severely bruises the tip of your thumb when actuating the switch moentary switch, and firing "Full 45 ACP Loads".)
Just my $.02 worth. YMMV
