I have to be honest Chorst, I too have been very impressed with Surefire - but they are impressed themselves with their products and it reflects in their prices.
I would love to add their forend grip to my AR platform,
M900A Frontgrip. That said, I can't justify spending close to $500 for a vertical foregrip because of the name on the unit.
I have recently bought a couple of lights from Inova, specifically the
Inova T5. These lights are very well built and very bright, plus they aren't anywhere near the price of the Surefire lights.
As the topic was whether or not I was impressed with the Surefire,
I am, but I am also looking for a good value that leaves me with the ability to have multiple lights for multiple occassions as opposed to one light to try and make fit into
any situation.
