Finally received the x200 today... I didn't have any fitting problem although it looks like it's tilted up just a little bit. Looking at the magazine cover again and it's looks the same way. Does anybody else notice this?

As far as the remote switch, as of right now I don't think I want it. For $65, I think I'll pass... for now...

They already have it. It's called duct tape.

I believe it's called a 'tactical adhesive roll'.

I might add a little advice if your going to test the new X200 at range a small plactic plug cover will sure keep the lens from getting flash and powder blasted. That lens is a bear to get clean after a firing test.

Also if your not sure just how tight the light is being locked on to the XD I also advise rigging a laynard to keep the light from flying off if it lets go.

Yes I agree if they really have them meaning the S.F. X200B at $196 then it's a better price then I paid.

What made you say this? Are there reports of these coming off during shooting?

Mine is pretty rigid, but it also easily comes on & off when you press down on the lever.

Well my first attempt at installing my X200B was finding it somewhat hard to remove. So I started reworking the locking finger on the small spring loaded U plate on my X200. Well I got it filed down where it would now come off a lot easer but when I took it to the range to give it the firing test it came off after around five shots.

To make a long story shorter I called Surefire and they confirmed that some units need a little tuning. But it's best to have it somewhat hard to remove then have it fly off while being fired.

Surefire will send a new locking plate free of charge but you can re-work the P plate by filing the wide edge flat with the finger and it works fine.

Just be glad your fit good and just give it a good shoot test.

Thanks for the heads-up. Hopefully everything works ok when I go to the range. I used the U plate on mine which is already on it. I did try to put the P plate to see if it'll fit but as you said it's wide and won't fit unless you file it.
