The XT2C, Nitecore P10, and XT2CR have all done well for me, bezel down. In the past I've rolled an inner tube over tailcaps to make the button harder to pocket activate with some success but these lights don't need it.

Think for yourself. Question authority.
How well-shrouded is the switch on the new Malkoff light?
Pocket activation of the switch on my Klarus XT1C and Terralux TT1-EX are both quite frequent.
The Klarus XT2C is the best light I've had in many ways (see this thread). I have not had problems activating the main switch accidentally. The light has held up well, despite rough treatment--multiple drops on concrete, and water submersion. However, there's a firmware bug where repeated taps of the lever switch can cause it to stay on. It's enough of a problem that I can't recommend this light.

It uses this shroudless body https://malkoff-devices.myshopify.co...dless-123-body
Click for some pictures. I wonder if the other 123 body would work? https://malkoff-devices.myshopify.co...r123-body-only

Just ordered the single cell light. Will see how it compares to my XT1C.

Depends on which body you order. The complete light come with a shroudless body to allow easy access to the button;

This is the "tail standing" version where the button is recessed and better protected from accidental activation;

This is the tail-standing version that will accept two CR123 cells (and get the highest output from the Bodyguard head);

Thank you for that information. The description on the single cell light does say shroudless, but that button looks quite recessed. The 2-cell version would completely defeat my purpose for this light. Hopefully the shrouded-looking "shroudless" one will offer adequate protection for the switch.
Anyone know: what is a “shroud”?
