I've got a Switchback on my EDC Modlite but I don't care for the "Switchback technique." I tend to default back to a temple or neck index like @BillSWPA described. This method seems to work well and requires less grip futzing than the switchback technique. I love the Switchback for acquiring the light in the pocket and the clip hangs onto pants nicely.
I don't use a light on my carry guns. I always have a Streamlight Microlight with me, clipped in a pocket next to my folder. I use a head hold when using it with a gun. I have yet to use it "for real", thankfully; that's just the way I've been trained. I do have a TLR-1 on my nightstand gun.
Like the folder, the light gets a lot of use in day-to-day tasks.
