About pocket clips
A very kind member sent me this Original Novatac Pocket clip,
as you can see it is a different style than the one on the red hat, in the above post.
not to look a gift horse in the teeth, just comparisons
the clip shown on the red hat is stiffer and does not flex when gripped, it also does not ride on the knurling, is not split on the ring, and is thicker
the clip shown in this post is lighter, springier, holds tighter to the body, is slightly smaller, does not stick out as far from the body, and weighs less than the clip on the red hat
I am fortunate to have choices, and also very grateful that both clips were gifts.

About bezel mounted clips
Ive carried the Gold Novatac with the clips under the bezel for a while and have a couple pro and con reactions.
I like
the option to clip the light to my hat
that the light wont roll off a table
and the option carry clipped
I dont like
pushing on the crenelated bezel, when Im pocketing the light.
the extra bulk when gripping the light

About Titanium Bezel options
A friend ordered these Titanium bezels from RPM and gave me a chance to check them out:
P/N TI-990-350-SP
P/N TI-990-350-SC6-060
I like the smooth one, it is gentler on my hand when pushing on the bezel, and I have less concern about it chewing a hole in my pocket.
I like the crenelated one too, it is not as sharp as the stock bezel, and I like the option to do this:
I checked if I could still fit a clip under the Titanium Bezel, the answer is yes. I note that the clip on the red hat has a much larger hole, and fits easily over the threads, but the ring also sticks out beyond the body of the light more.
The clip with the step on the blade has a tighter hole, and the fit of the ring is closer to flush with the body. the ring is split so it can be forced to thread onto the bezel (I chose not to do that with the Ti Bezel, but I know it works because the fit is the same as on the stock Gold Bezel).

About Lenses
A new bezel and a new lens go well together
I use these 22.61mm x 1.90mm UCL Lenses on my Novatacs
