Modifying Tactical Light Pressure Switch

Ok,

So heres what I have.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&sspagename=STRK%3AMEAFB%3AI T&viewitem=&item=180082204604&rd=1&rd=1


First, in case anyone is wondering. For a small handheld flashlight this thing is amazing. It can light up my entire backyard without any problem. The only problem is battery life.

To combat this I was going to use a pressure switch but there a pain in the butt to use because you always have to be pressing down on it. At first I was going to run the wire inside the front grip and have the pressure switch on the outside so I just squeezed when I wanted it on. After thinking about it for a little I wasnt really happy with this idea either.

What I want to do is drill a hole in the front grip, near the top. Cut the cable down and put some sort of push button switch on it. I was thiking somewhere along the lines of this:

It seems pretty easy to do. Just take the two copper cables and solder them to the switch. What I am worrying about is not melting the grip or my hand for that matter. What type of push button or togel switch should I use on this?

Any helps appreciated.

Thank you,
