    Surefire Stiletto disassembled

    Mark2: Could you measure the dimensions of the battery? It might be possible to source a generic 3.7V 950mAh battery elsewhere. From what I can tell, this is a narrower battery than typical 3.7V 950mAh batteries easily found online. Those tend to be more square. Also, if you can see, are the...

    PK Knight Tailswitch

    @Got_Lumens? Oh, I'm not trying to use the dental pick to remove the tailcap. Just hoping I could fish out the broken piece of metal floating around inside. But from my testing with a bent paperclip, it seems that the broken piece of metal is on the other side of the flat contact and thus...

    Streamlight Protac 1L1AA Custom Paint Job

    I have never used these guys and have no affiliation with them, but they seem to do an excellent ACU finish in the very durable Duracoat epoxy-based finish. https://762precision.com/custom-duracoat-firearm-finishes/digital-camouflage-finishes-pixelated-camo/ It's not exactly the true UCP...

    #1 FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration!

    Re: FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration! I thought about this, and it doesn't seem possible because there is a 90-degree bend right before the o-ring. You can see it in the drawing--it is the "bulkhead" against which the pocket clip is screwed. I think this would be the way to do...

    PK Knight Tailswitch

    It could be a sliver of metal, but I suspect that it's bigger than that because there are times when it actually blocks me from pressing the tailcap down. In these rare moments, the tailcap feels solid, like it's locked out, so I figure the broken piece is about 1mm in thickness. I'm wondering...

    Please recommend something to replace a FourSevens Paladin...

    @Thetasigma: I definitely checked out Prometheus and especially their new FourSevens models--nothing they make yet fits my needs. They could always release something in the future that is a perfect fit, though. @AVService: The Acebeam TK16 looks like a good fit. I just have to make sure I'll...

    PK Knight Tailswitch

    Thanks to peter and Chauncey for responding in the other, main thread about the Knight/Paladin. My Paladin seems to have some small metal piece floating around inside the tailcap. Looking at the diagram from PK that peter posted up AND combined with the photo badtziscool posted, it does look...

    #1 FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration!

    Re: FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration! Whoa, thanks Peter and Chauncey! I will go post in the other thread. (And nice Paladins/Knights--makes me want to buy another, but I really shouldn't since I drop these things on a regular basis.)

    #1 FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration!

    Re: FOURSEVENS Knight and Paladin - PK collaboration! Sorry for the necropost. This appears to be the proper thread for this question. I have a Paladin that I've dropped a few times and broken something inside the tailcap. Occasionally it will turn itself on, even with the tailcap screwed all...

    Please recommend something to replace a FourSevens Paladin...

    Thanks for the replies. @mrnobman: The Fenix PD35 is pretty cool but still too long. I might get one anyway, but not as my EDC. Thanks! @AVService: Wow, the PK PR1 looks like a winner! I am a bit wary that it will be hard to get parts/repairs for it, though. Same dead-end as with the Paladin...

    Best budget compact Non-Rechargeable Battery Torch

    How about: Olight I3E EOS ($9.99 MSRP, 1xAAA). It's single mode. 70min runtime at 90 lumens. Waterproof to IPX8. Attaches to a keychain via a tiny split-ring. It's not very large, but it works. There is one downside to these. If you have an alkaline battery inside for a long time and it...

    Please recommend something to replace a FourSevens Paladin...

    I contacted Streamlight and they said that "All Streamlight products are type II anodizing." I know from personal experience that I'll destroy Type II anodized finished fairly quickly, so unfortunately, the the Protac 1L-1AA and Protac 1L are ruled out. It's too bad--they were close to being...

    Please recommend something to replace a FourSevens Paladin...

    @mrnobman Wow, the Protac 1L-1AA looks great. It looks like it meets all my requirements, but it's just a bit too long. If it were just 0.75 inch shorter... I still might give it a try anyway. The price is low enough that even if I don't carry it, it wouldn't bother me to toss it in a...

    Please recommend something to replace a FourSevens Paladin...

    Hi, everyone-- I'm a long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks in advance for any help you can provide! My beloved FourSevens Paladin is starting to fail (the tailcap switch has something loose moving around inside that sometimes interferes with function, often turning on the light in my...
