Most Helpful Positive Review Surefire Tailcap Switch Assembly
I used to use the regular tape switch with an ERGO Tactical Light Switch Mount. This is a lot more secure and a lot more reliable when paired on my ar with an x300 it is a very compact, rugged and reliable setup. If you can get over the price then I highly recommend. Pros: rock solid, rugged and completely reliable Cons: Cost

Remote tailcap review

by starforce, Verified Owner from SC, United States Written on June 22, 2025
Surefire once again did not dissappoint, there are two notched areas that need to fit into the weapons groove in order to stabilize the remote switch. Works perfect.

turn your x400 laser light into a full size weapon light!

by Jon, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on January 19, 2025
Definitely would recommend, have it sitting on my get right next to my night stand, it’s a 7.5” 5.56 with a .22 BCG adapter in it. I love it, definitely makes my x400 feel a lot more useless than just a $600 pistol light lol.
Pros:
  • Price
  • fitment
Cons:
  • None

Careful on Installation

by D, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on August 16, 2023
The switch is a little stiff out of the box but works well. Be careful when installing the cap on light as one of the hooks immediately snapped and bent the bar. It still works but I suspect I'll need to reinforce it to keep the cap in good contact with the batteries.
Pros:
  • Effective and good price
Cons:
  • Fragile Installation
Would recommend: Yes

Hard to find in stock.

by JS, from WI, United States Written on February 20, 2021
Works as expected. The tail cap arrived in surefire packaging. The on and off switch on the back is great for accidental pad activation. The pad unplugs from the tail cap if you want to use a different pressure pad. Great stitch option.
Pros:
  • Quality Surefire product
Cons:
  • Expensive
Would recommend: Yes

Tape Switch

by Panda, from OH, United States Written on February 23, 2018
Used surefire when I was down range in the Marines, and now as a LEO. Switch in pic on site is of the original model, new model was shipped to me. Shipping was super fast, arrived faster than estimated, and best price I could find. Switch is of standard Surefire quality, what more can you say.
Pros:
  • Momentary AND constant on.
Cons:
  • None.
Best Used for:
  • Range, LEO, war fighting.
Would recommend: Yes

High quality, great function

by Rozier, from GA, United States Written on July 16, 2017
Fitted a X300 on an HK build and needed a tape switch that would work so I didn't have to change my hand position to activate the light. The Rail Grabber pressure pad that came with the light works great with light pressure input and stays on the rail. As others have said, it's a bit pricey but it's definitely worth the one-time investment. You can find a cheap knock-off brand from overseas but you get what you pay for and Surefire, as always delivered with a great product. Worth it in the long run for sure.
Pros:
  • Fit and function. Reliability.
Cons:
  • price
Would recommend: Yes

Easy attach, easy to use

by Brad O., from TX, United States Written on August 22, 2016
High quality cabled remote control for my Surefire x400 light/green laser. Really like the intermittent plus constant switch feature. The switch pad easily and securely attaches to picatinny rail and is easily removed.

versatility

by JORDAN MULLEN, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on November 29, 2015
good product, I didn't need it but thought it would be fun. I have a short rail so I located the light on the 2 o'clock position and placed the pad on the 12 o'clock. Works nicely and allows me to keep my carbon fiber grip panels for my ARAK21
Would recommend: Yes

Tail cap switch

by JK, from OH, United States Written on November 12, 2015
Fits like a glove and works flawlessly. A bit pricey but then Surefire make a splendid product. The wiring can be routed and hidden under the Magpul panels. Full on or intermittent operation. Don't know what else I can say about the product that cannot be gleaned from the description.
Pros:
  • Precision Fit
Cons:
  • pricey, but you get what you pay for
Best Used for:
  • Ar 15 or similar
Would recommend: Yes

Sure fire Tailcap Switch

by careyc, from TN, United States Written on July 21, 2015
Installs on Surefire X400 Ultra light/laser and mounts on AR-15 mil spec rail easily. Works as advertised, and makes control of light/laser much more efficient/ergonomic. Would definitely recommend to others with similar setup, as this is my second of Surefire X400 and same tailcap switch. Surefire products do not disappoint - flashlights, weapons lights, etc.
Would recommend: Yes
