New Convoy Deep Carry clip

Greetings all.
This new clip has been mentioned in the green S2+ thread but since this clip fits more than just the S2+ I figured it should have its own thread. The clip comes only in black. This is a stainless clip with a black oxide coating that should hold up well. If you care about the story read on past the pictures.

Edit: Simon was referring to something else when he mentioned the oxide coating. The clip is painted black but should still hold up well.

You can buy it on Simon’s store here:

There is a minimum quantity of 5 if you’re just ordering the clip but If you’re ordering anything else from Simon you can always message him and ask him to add a single clip or two to your order.

Here’s what it looks like:

Shown here on a Convoy S2+ shorty making it a sweet EDC IMO.

Shown here on the Convoy M1. I was pleasantly surprised what a great fit it is there.

Shown here on the Convoy C8. Not entirely practical there but it might come in useful depending on the situation.

For those not in the know, this is a project Simon and I worked on over the last few months.
When the BLF A6 was introduced with a deep carry clip I loved the concept but I did not care for the fit and finish on that clip and being a Convoy guy I thought the S2+ line should have a deep carry clip.
I’m a knife guy too and along that journey I became a big fan of deep carry clips. I’m sure this will fit some other light as well. Once I get mine I plan to try it on several. I’m hoping it will fit the BLF A6 and a few others in my collection.

Cheers! :beer:

Ordered several days ago. Looking forward for the new clips.

Looks really great!
I have one tip, make the battery tube of the lights symmetrical (or make 2 places for the clip), that way the clip can either point up or down. Should be great for the M1/2 and C8 with their bigger heads.

:bigsmile: I’m already working with Simon to see if we can add a groove at the head of the S2+ for reverse mounting to turn the S series (particularly the short S2+) into a makeshift headlamp. :beer:

I knew you were! :smiley:
Great, it’s just that little bit extra. 0:)

How’s the feel? How stiff is it? Does it rotate and flex a lot? Is it secure?

I can’t give a first hand review at this time as I have not yet received mine. I will report back when I do. At the start of this, the Roche F6 clip was used as an example for mounting so I’d expect it to be about the same in that regard. Several people here reported that the F6 clip is a nice tight fit on the S2 and S2+ and is reportedly very sturdy it just isn’t a deep carry clip and I really wanted a deep carry clip so we designed this one. I can’t really see Simon giving the green light to a clip that rotates and flexes too much.

I have the original (bolt and nut) clip and I found the edges pretty sharp, which would cut into the jeans. I plan to file it down and make it rounder. The U-shape band for this new clip seems pretty good but is the edges sharp or is it somewhat rounded?

I do not like that bolt on clip at all. This one should be much more refined. I can’t really accurately comment on the edges until I have one in my hands though.

I’d love to try out this new clip, but I have to buy 5 at a time. Is there any way I can buy just one?

Though I mentioned that already but that was in the green S2+ thread. Too many posts… 8)
There is a minimum quantity of 5 if you’re just ordering the clip but If you’re ordering anything else from Simon you can always message him and ask him to add a single clip or two to your order. I added that note to the OP here now too.

I’m definitely gonna try them on my other tube lights n see how they fit. My green s2+ n clips shipped yesterday, so another week of anticipation. Great work jdub!

Looks great on a C8… I guess the main problem with these snap-on clips is that they come off if pulled hard enough, and repeatedly putting them on again will scratch the anodizing, will wait for a review, they look great and I would put one in each S2+

I’ve never cared for the bolt on clip either, unless I tightened the screws to the point that the nuts were gouging into the back side of the lanyard holes, the clip would move from side to side. I also had the same problem as Roadie, I bought two of the clips and on both the edges had sharp burs that I had to waste time knocking off with a stone.
These look like they might be a better answer, I’ll have to give them a try, now if I can just find something else I need to buy from Simon’s store.

If properly made they don’t pull off that easily in my experience but these are valid concerns. My EDC for the last several years has been the Olight I3S which has a snap-on reversable clip. I have snapped it on an off and reversed the clip position countless times without any scratches and you have to apply significant force to get it off. I’d take a picture right now but I lost it again… That’s the curse of ultra-small lights. The I3S is a much lighter flashlight but if properly made the same ruggedness should hold true with the new Convoy clip. As soon as mine arrive I will do some testing. I eagerly await their arrival.

Nice! I just ordered some. Been using the bolt on clips for some of my s2’s for a while now and have been wanting this for some time.

You could use the others on sharpies or other big fat markers….

Tactical hotdog or salami holder….

Tactical curling iron…

You get the point, usually you can find a use for extras…

But Simon is cool, he will usually sell just one or two if you are ordering other stuff…

I am looking forward to this clip.

For those that don’t want tactical hotdogs, buy a green S2+ and add a couple of clips, problem solved :wink: I just spoke to Neal, BG will be stocking these in the new year so that may be an alternate way to buy smaller quantities.

PS Tactical hotdogs made me LOL, just don’t do a google image search, there is one particular unpleasant image.

ah… this came out the moment I ordered my bolt and nut clip.

should’ve waited a while :weary:
