The SwitchBack 2.0 is the next evolution in the innovative SwitchBack Flashlight Ring product line, incorporating new features and refinements based on thousands of hours of use by our subject matter experts and customers. The SwitchBack 2.0 mounts between the tailcap and body of your flashlight, making it secure regardless of impact, moisture, and heat/cold changes. SwitchBacks can be used with handguns or long guns, allowing the user to:
Reliably deploy and index a flashlight from both pockets and pouches, using the SwitchBacks rigid, but releasable, retention ring.
Shoot using a natural two-handed grip (the SwitchBack Technique).
Employ all traditional low-light techniques such as Neck Index, Modified FBI, and Harries.
Positively retain the light when drawing a firearm, reloading, and addressing a malfunction.
Designed and manufactured in the USA.
Tailcaps larger than 1.004 inches in diameter are not compatible with the SwitchBack Large.
For installation, first try installing the SwitchBack on your light without use of the o-ring or aluminum washer. Simply unscrew the tailcap, add the SwitchBack, and rescrew the tailcap back on. If the light does not activate upon use of the tailcap switch with the SwitchBack installed, try installing the aluminum washer as shown in the diagram below. Streamlight models tend to require the aluminum washer, but may not, depending on the tailcap features of the light. Elzetta and Surefire models do not usually require the aluminum washer, but users may find that addition of the rubber o-ring will help to stabilize the position of the SwitchBack.
