Very carefully 
I don’t like ano damage.
“How do you hold your side switch flashlights?”
If my right hand is occupied then I hold it with my left hand.
If my left hand is occupied then I hold it with my right hand.
If both hands are occupied then I don’t hold it at all.
Hope this handy guide helps any of you having trouble holding your flashes especially side switch ones.
WTF. 
Depends.
Not very but thats part of the potential dropping problem.
Concrete is very rough :cry:
“Depends”.
Ok tell us how ya hold your Depends?
I hold em’ between my index finger and thumb farthest away from the soggy parts. Arm fully extended.
I successfully threw you off the scent from my metal bending superman strength grip 
Side switch under my thumb, lens pointing forward away from me
“Side switch under my thumb, lens pointing forward away from me.”
Appreciated how to. I was wonderin’ why my side switches were illuminating only my a*s.
Ya really learn somethings here that ya could never learn on your own.
Thank you. I built it
The tail switch is a much better choice. I know this wasn’t your question but reconsider your objectives. The gas petal is always to the right of the brake for a reason.
For side switch… usually fingers down, thumb up to operate switch, & light pointed away from me.
Is their any other way??? 
For the FW3A, other tube lights, & C8 size lights with a tail switch I use a “Cigar Grip” to activate & toggle switch. Then many times I will transition to the grip mentioned above.
Side switch lights like purse! Real light have a tail switch, so you can hold it like a man.
I can’t impossibly hold it with just two fingers.
Reverse (icepick) grip all day, unless the light is uber-tiny like the Olight S1. Then I pinch-grip it.
Handshake grip with thumb on the button. Lens at the front.
I hold mine sideways, gangstah style.
It looks so cool…
Dangit, beat by Lightbringer.
I was going to say I hope it like a Glock with sights on the side of the slide. Not enough “O’s” in coool…
Wolf spider eyes. Showed that to a neighbor one night while we were shooting the breeze. He walked on the pavement going back home!
thumb on the side switch///
(not “COP CARRY”)
