Question on P10's future upgrade

[atavanhalen]

Hey David,

I was wondering if there is enough room in the p10's switch to offer the locking button and removable contact post that the bigger precise plus have. Obviously you know the limits of the metal, given its size but I cant help but think how awesome a little p10 with all of the upgrades of the 18350 and 500 would be.
So what do ya think, can you squeeze a locking mechanism and threads for a contact post into that little button? If not, can I ask what the ideas where that you had for the p10 upgrade. I know that this is a bit premature since you said the p16 and p18 will be first but this has been on my mind and cant help but ask thanks

Unfortunately, theres no room for a locking button on the Precise (at least not like the current one). One could do an simple, inexpensive screw/locking nut type lock that are on several devices out there, but they aren't my favorite type of lock.

Morning Atavanhalen! I forgot to answer your other question, on the P10, i haven't firmed up quite yet what approach i'm going to do with the button. It's a tough call...

Would it be too expensive to do the tri plating on the whole switch? I think it would look pretty sweet with a shiny rhodium plated button, but obviously might be costly.
