I posted in the other thread, but I guess I'll post an edited version here too.
I've been using one of the new tailcaps for a few months now, and I'd I haven't found any down side to it. I've never been a fan of needing to use tools to open a piece of gear to change batteries, and in the case of these pieces of functional titanium art I was always worried about scratching the finish. Also I don't use a lanyard, I use a belt pouch, so the bead wasn't really an option.
When I got the new tailcap, my first and only fear was that contact through a thin sheath (or pocket bumping) would cause it to fall off. This has never happened, even though I have tried to make it happen through testing in exaggerated versions of real world scenarios (basically frequent fidgeting and fiddling).
I like the idea of a semi-waterproof tailcap, but for EDC in normal circumstances, this quick-release is excellent, and I've been wanting a second one for another light. (I've tried it on both a Tri-V1 and 2, and left it on the 2 since that's what I carry.)

Does anyone know when this new tailcap might be ready to purchase? I've had my Tri-V2 for a couple days now and I would definitely take one of these new pinless tailcaps. (Especially since there are no opening beads to be had.

My understanding is that they are not for sale separately ....

This is AWESOME! Too bad that it does not appear to be a fit for my original Tri-V...but that's not the end of the world I think it's going to be a killer upgrade for the newer lights!
Great job Dave!

Great review PSM, the new tail cap looks great! Great design Dave! Another great option would be a extension section to allow for higher capacity cells like the 16650 Samsung li ion. It could fasten just like the original cap does, Dave could design that in his sleep.
