Some 1-CR123 lights are longer than others. If the light is close to four inches AOL, I can get a good grip and use the light effectively with my pinkie under the head.
As important to me is a "clean" surface to grip. For this reason, I detest pocket clips - they always seem to interfere with my grip. A clean uncluttered body, devoid of scallops and pocket clips, with some basic knurling work the best for me. For carry I just drop the light in a pocket.

I agree on the POCKET CLIP thing! It seems like every flashlight comes with one but I can’t recall ever putting it to use!?!
I have a 1-cell Malkoff BG2 that I EDC, and another one with an 18650 body that I almost never use. The longer body just doesn't fit in pockets as well.

I couldn’t figure out how to display the vid. Let’s try this again:

This is probably gonna depend on how monstrous or diminutive your paws are, but for me I've found that sub-4 inch lights are on the small side and that results in sometimes bobbling deployment. The freefloating in the pocket without a good pocket clip end up with me bobbling the deployment even more often.
From what I've tried, 4.25-5" with a solid clip is a goldilocks size that is big enough to comfortably draw+use+pocket. There are both single and double cell lights in this envelope. I'd prefer two cell if possible, because that allows for dual fuel of a sizable rechargeable or single use cells. But IMO overall usability > fuel preferences.
I'm experimenting with a coupla more setups that I plan to report back on.
