Great addition that transforms my 6P light to a weapon light. The small rim around the button prevents inadvertent activation, yet allows rapid access to the switch. In my opinion, this should be standard on the 6P light, it's such a worthwhile addition.

The Z59 is just about the same length as the stock 6P tail cap and less than 1/8 of an inch longer than the stock G2 tail cap. As of now, I am using it on my 6P LED since the twist-on tail ...

This is a great addition to my G3. I just wish that they made a poly version in order to match my poly flashlight.

Highly recommended. Also works with Surefire 6PL (as this is what I bought it for). This can be confirmed through some searching on the Surefire website.
