Got this for $70 at a gun show in Jan 2013. I got the last one and their display model, but it was in perfect shape and they gave me extra batteries for it. It installed very easily on my .308 Saiga front rail, but took some messing around to get the quick release handle to grip the rail in a solid fashion. It fits comfortably in my hand. Idk what other guys are saying about how the grip is "small," I'm 6'3" and this is great for me. The quick release does its job really well and can be taken off and reinstalled in under 10 seconds (so shooting supported is easy). In the dark, this light is BLINDING, but my laser sight and red dot aren't washed out by it. Perfect. The button placement for operating the light is ideal, as it is the natural position for your thumb to use. I'd easily pay $100 for this thing.

I thought there would be a little storage space in the handle but the battery takes up all the space.

What a great light! Blindingly bright, easy to operate, the push-button switch at rear is in the natural position to activate when your hand is on the grip. Though designed as a on/off switch, with a little manipulation you can work the button to give you a "momentary on" feature. The light's head is very compact, so you don't have the long light tube protruding in front. Did I mention this thing was bright? With other brands selling in the hundreds of dollars for their rail-mounted lights, get this one that combines the vertical grip we all have anyway plus a great, compact light as well. Money well spent!

Fits well in my 5 year old's hand. Appears out of place on my AR. Too narrow to be useful. IT's sturdy and well built, but it is just not suitable for use by adult sized hands.

i was extremely shocked by how bright this light is. the grip is very strong and sturdy, attaches easily to the rail on my rifle. i would definately recommend this grip/light to anyone, it is very well worth the money.
