SwitchBack S Backup Flashlight Ring

SwitchBack S Backup Flashlight Ring

$19.99

The SwitchBack® S Backup Flashlight Ring turns your Surefire® compact flashlight into a flexible tactical tool.

We’ve improved on our original design to fit the EDC models without a flared lanyard shroud, while remaining compatible with most Surefire E-Series legacy Backup flashlights.

See compatibility table below for details.

Description

The SwitchBack S Backup Flashlight Ring enhances your compact flashlight, optimizing ergonomics for searching and shooting.

  • Securely mounts between the tailcap and body of the flashlight.
  • Rigid retention ring helps reliably deploy and index flashlight from both pockets and pouches.
  • Shoot using a natural two-handed grip (the SwitchBack Technique).
  • Employ all traditional low-light techniques such as Neck Index, Modified FBI, and Harries.
  • Positively retain the light when drawing a firearm, reloading, and malfunction clearance.

Designed in collaboration with Chris Costa, Costa Ludus. Designed and manufactured in the USA.

Surefire Backup tailcaps that do (straight) and don't work (flared) with the SwitchBack Backup S Flashlight Ring

The SwitchBack S Backup comes with two o-rings.  See below for compatible lights and recommended o-ring to use.  Shrouded and flared tailcaps are not compatible (a flared tailcap is shown in the image at left/above).

Note that the E1B- Backup MaxVision comes with a shorter tail cap so that this flashlight cannot be activated with the knuckle in the SwitchBack Technique.  Instead, users turn the light on with a finger, then can modify the position of the light using the SwitchBack.

The SwitchBack S Backup is not compatible with lights larger than 0.830 inches (2.1082 cm) in diameter.  Have a 1-inch diameter light? Check out the SwitchBack Large 2.0. Looking for a 1.12 inch inner diameter Flashlight Ring? Try the SwitchBack DF.
