I carried it in my purse for awhile, but the little quick-on button on the back got pushed down inadvertently and drained that very expensive little battery.

Being an adherent to the carrying a flashlight is always good school of thought, I propose four suggestions that will help you:
1. Twist the end of the light to the 'lockout' position. This is Surefire's way of making a 'feature' out of the fact that you're just backing the switch off far enough that it no longer works the light.
2. Get a 'clickie' tailcap for your light from Surefire (or other sources). This will be harder to inadvertantly engage as the pressure switch is guarded by a big rubber rim.
3. The CR123 batteries don't necessarily need to be expensive. I buy mine from
http://www.amondotech.com/index.asp?...S&Category=241 for $1 per battery instead of $8 per pair at Wal-Mart.
4. Investigate
http://www.pentagonlight.com/. The ones I've handled are comparable to Surefire's products, but still cheaper. I find it telling that the USAF (at least locally) has switched from Surefire's to Pentagonlight.
