I just pulled my Sparklite out of my Becker handle and it works fine. I wonder if the problem may be that some Sparklites are not mil-spec? I got mine from Countycomm. Is there more than one manufacturer?

Just as an aside when taking off the handle for my Crewman I discovered that when I replaced the three allan head screws with slot heads, I stupidly and inexplicably left one allan head in place! That means that in an emergency I would not have been able to access the stuff in my handle as I no longer carry an allan wrench. Kinda embarrassing. <img src="/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Needless to say, it pays to periodically check your gear!
