Surefire problem

Post by TORCH2J »

I picked up a m116D light made by surefire for my M9 for this deployment. The grip switch is starting to go out. I emailed Surefire asking if they made a replacement switch a few days ago and haven't heard from them.

Anyone know where I can pick up a replacement switch, if they even make one?

Thanks Ranger Goog, but...been there already. This is what I have http://www.surefire.com/maxexp/main/co_ ... rrfnbr/958#

I need the "slimline switch" cause I'm cheap and don't want to buy another light. I should have taken the insight M6 from my wife's gun I guess.

Yeah, I'm finding out about avatars. Just got to freaking shrink one and attach it.

They are on 41A in Clarksville. Jim Gafney and his wife run it. Both are super to deal with, and they move a lot of Surefire lights.
I've dealt with them before and bought some stuff before deploying, but they need to special order weapon lights. I don't know how quickly they could get it. I just figured that it would be faster to get it direct from Surefire. I think I'll just bite the bullet and order a new light and holster.

Rangers, thanks for the help and the suggestions, you know who you are. I have been contacted by Surefire and they want me to send the light in "when I get a chance"

I appreciate it brothers. :!:
