Hi Karey; I reached out to Performance Tool and they said you can remove the end cap on the FirePoint X # PT57RR and take it apart to clean the button. Unfortunately, they don't offer any instructions on how to do this so it will be up to you to figure out how to disassemble and reassemble the tail cap for cleaning.

Hey Karey, were you able to get the end cap off your FirePoint X flashlight and clean the button contacts? Knowing how that went could help others trying to fix the same issue.
