Light is great, cord is junk - Streamlight TLR-1 HP Rail Mounted Tactical Flashlight

This is a mixed review. I have several Streamlight products and like the quality and brightness, but the pressure pad remote cord that came with the TLR-1 is too wide to fit any of the vertical grips that have slots for inserting. It has 2 holes that look more like it was designed for screwing to a wall. I do not understand why the accompanying pad is so large. Even more, why Customer Service at Streamlight has failed to answer repeated emails directly to them. I am disappointed in those aspects.
Pros: Very bright light
Cons: Pressure pad is too large
