I had already sanded down the stock Switchback DF, and it was solid but it struggled to pocket easily, which is really frustrating. At first, with this second mod, I was disappointed because even though it pocketed very easy, there was no tension at all, and the light would fall out of the pocket when sitting down. As you can see in the second pic(I forgot to take a pic before the grip tape) there is a huge gap between the smalles OD of the 18350 tube and the actual clip. I wanted it just right so I did three sections of grip tape wrap at a time so I could get the perfect tension on my pocket. Now it is velvety smooth in, and just enough grab pulling out, with solid tension on my particular pants pockets. I’ve been carrying the 18350 W3 Pro Tac for a long time and have made incremental changes to get it where I want. Hopefully this saves someone some time and frustration and they can get theirs where they want it right from the start, as this is arguably the best pound for pound pocket LEP out there atm.
