Hope the Chinese guys have SRK/Q8 - sized holsters.

They should fit in the ones that have been around for a while. You might have to look around but they are out there.

They also will fit in a larger jacket pocket no problem.

Proto #1 with a new full baked look:

The switch retaining ring was soaked in Greased Lightning to remove the anodizing, then polished up. Tailcap was left a little more red. darker. I used the rubber switch boot from the other proto that had the short stem (harder to press), and glued an extension- came out well. I'm using a thinner UCLp lens, and found a larger o-ring in the same position under the lens to make up the difference - tried some sanding on the o-ring because it's a bit too big, still can't screw down the bezel all the way.

The switch retaining ring scratches the black off real easy. All 3 I've touched got scratched up. I'd rather have it in silver/aluminum finish just so scratches don't show, and it matches the bezel well.

The tailcap came from another SRK clone. But keep in mind - for the real Q8, you won't be able to LEGO parts with other SRK's because the battery tube threads on both ends are true square, making them no longer compatible.

Inside views:

In pieces:

In the above, you can see the difference in color of the tailcap. The colors vary a bit from picture to picture. Near the bezel, apparently because it's thinner, it heated up a bit quicker, and started changing color to the next shade, slightly more brown, when I turned off the heat.

Did TF say if the anodization on the prototypes was just a quick and cheap job to get the proto out faster and that the production models will get the full on, more expensive and time consuming hard anodization?

I’m hoping the production versions don’t scratch real easy.

Wait, are you saying the black on the body or on the switch ring scratched easily? That’s a big difference.

BTW, that baked one looks real good. :+1:
