Very nice grip, minus one small problem... - Troy Aluminum CQB Vertical Grip

This is a very nice grip. The fit and finish of every Troy product I own is top tier/amazing.

The only fault I find is it uses two rubber or silicone O-Ring gaskets, so you really have to crank the grip to make it semi-secure. But even then, it is prone to loosening up by vibrations. I would maybe recommend a very small amount of LocTite to secure it.

But you'd may have a hard time removing it or accessing it's storage compartment, if necessary. There is no really clear installation instructions as to how to keep it from loosening up or even a tool to remove the lower bottom cap.

I enjoy this grip, and consider it fantastic, minus this one problem. I'm going to try a rubber strap type wrench to tighten the center section to quite a bit of foot pounds. There really is only two solutions to this problem I can really count on. Use a very small amount of LocTite, or hold onto both sections very tightly.

I'd honestly give it a 4.7 star rating because of this little problem is just that... "a little problem".

You may want to try a polymer version, they do help cancel out vibrations.

If anyone has a solution to this problem, please let me know, but currently I'm not sure I want to LocTite it. I'll try a little bit of MS-232 and see how it goes. I guess this is just a problem with any twist on VFG. Using a through bolt is just a more a more reliable way to go. Or don't expect to be able to use the internal section for storage.
