Got my SB. Made a cosmetic and slightly functional change.

Bevel and raw aluminum matches tank well...

Really liking the Sb so far. But it's only been a day. Thought about machining the battery tube down some as well to slim it a bit and reduce weight but it just sits so nice in the hand as is. Then of course the only black would be the top switch part so I didn't bother. I like the small changes. Not sure why, but I really like bevels instead of rounded edges, and the raw aluminum/black combo looks nice imo.

    Turn the switch housing over and look at the bottom of it, see the hole? The SB is vented through the switch. You would just about have to cut the entire bottom out of the SB to provide it with a larger vent than it already has. Of course another vent isn't going to hurt anything.

    You did a nice clean job with the bevels.

    I don't think that the Silver Bullet has vent holes.

    Actually yes they do but not in the bottom. It will vent through the top and bottom of the switch. I asked Altsmoke about it and they confirmed the switch. Take the headcap off and blow hard into it and you'll feel the air come through. If the air doesn't, send it back to them and they will fix it.
