  Cops use a multitude of rubber bands on their metal flashlights. Not 
only does it help them to hold it under their left armpit (via friction 
on the clothing), but also when they "doouszh" someone on the head, 
there is less liklihood of a serious injury, not to mention it 
insulates the flashlight when it falls, therefore saving the bulb from 
breakage. Some go to the extreme of coating the rubber bands with 
something like "liquid electricians tape", so as to conceal the bands 
and bring the flashlight back to black.
  Yes, I would use rubber bands.
