A Surefire griplight alternative that isn't preposterously expensive? (lemmy.world)

I never picked up a Griplight when they were common, and nowadays they are hard to find and priced to match the rarity.

I'd like something with the same form factor. I don't mind if I have to provide my own switch for the light, so long as I can easily install the light in a similar layout. I'm not looking for one of those hideous aliexpress grips with a super cheap flashlight that sits on top of the grip. The light being forward of the grip is a big draw. I'm hoping some company makes a clone or design inspired by the Griplight out there.

Viridian does an angled grip w/ integrated WL or WL+Visible Laser.

Not sure if you want the function or are trying to clone some specific build. But instinct tells me if you want something in that form factor not made of chinesium you're probably SOL.

Dang. I wasn't looking to make a period accurate clone or anything, but I wanted grip to try out for some builds with limited space. I suppose I can get something close enough designed and printed.

Printed is a good idea I neglected to mention that in my comment as an option. I've got a cloud defensive set-up on a gun that takes the equivalent of one 12 o'clock and one 9 o'clock mlok slot.

But I wouldn't recommend using any laser or light from pre 2010 because doubtlessly someone(s) buying them to clone some obscure setup and they only ever made a limited production run.
