Here is a thought to create a resource for people to find their ideal pocket clip for different flashlights that may have less than ideal clips for individual tastes.
The idea is to share personal experiences with mixing and matching and which clips may be cross-compatible with different hosts. And post resources for sourcing aftermarket clips and which lights they will fit.
I’m personally in the camp “double sided clips are evil incarnate” and so many really great flashlights these days have awful double sided clips that make me want to say something like, “Gee wiz, I sure don’t like that…” But I wouldn’t dream of saying anything so ridiculous as, "My way is the “right way”…
Theres plenty of “Tint Snobs” out there, am I the only “Clip Snob”?

The T4 clip fits great on the S21E:
The clip that came with the S21E was pretty aweful, but I found that the T4 clip, even though it is meant for a 21mm body, stretches to fit perfectly, And is just the right balance of function and slimness, and feels great in hand. The T4 stainless steel clip is much sturdier than the painted steel S2+ clip, which also fit just fine, but I found it to be too long, and flimsy… dont like it.

I generally think 99% of all clips I encountered are shiite, and usually just rip them off as soon as I get the light.
Some rare exceptions are the deep-carry on my MH20s, and the deep-carry clips I’d get from Fasttech that would fit S2+es and the like. Both of those fit quite well and were true deep-carry, and not just some POS clip with an extra bend that gets called “deep-carry”.
Those 2-way clips are just too bulky and dig into my hand on pretty much any light I ever used them with, so off they go.
The bolt-on clip that’s on '502s has that curvature that actually fits my hand nicely almost as a reinforcement, so those don’t suck.
