Features
Like all our SwitchBacks, it can be used with handguns or long guns, allowing the user to:
- Reliably deploy and index a flashlight from both pockets and pouches, using the SwitchBack’s rigid, but releasable, retention ring.
- Employ all traditional low-light techniques such as Neck Index, Modified FBI, and Harries.
- Positively retain the light when drawing a firearm, reloading, and addressing a malfunction.
The SwitchBack HOG Flashlight Ring also provides fast deployment and enhanced retention during many activities such as climbing, backpacking, car and home maintenance, and self-defense. If you’re using the Modlite HOG as a patrol light, improve your access and mounting ability with a SwitchBack HOG!
Additional SwitchBack HOG Features:
- A finger ring that releases under heavy force/torque, but can be reset.
- A strong pocket clip that also works with MOLLE/PALS webbing.
- A wide thumb rest with traction features.
- Small crush ribs on the SwitchBack HOG’s lip create a custom fit.
Designed and manufactured in the USA.
The SwitchBack HOG Flashlight Ring is the largest SwitchBack in our series of SwitchBacks. Looking for a SwitchBack for a smaller light?

Installation
Installation is simple: Remove the tailcap of the Modlite HOG, place the SwitchBack HOG, then re-screw on the tailcap. If you would like a tighter fit, an o-ring comes with the SwitchBack HOG and can be placed on the last step past the threads, as shown to the right; it is a #018 Buna-N o–ring (1/16″ thick, 7/8″ OD, 3/4″ ID). You will see in this image that the Modlite o-ring on the threads should stay where it is. Please contact us if you have questions.
