Just bought one of these for my CC/bedside gun. Anyone else out there using one? Just trying to get some real-world feedback rather than manufacturers mumbo-jumbo. It is 100 lumens and activated with natural grip of firearm, tha's what sold me on it.

    While I don't have that particular item,....if it's like the other CT products I own, I have no doubt you will be happy.

    Let us know what you think after getting it installed.[:)]

    I have one..I sent the first one back as every time I fired the gun it stopped working..CT sent another one it had the same problem,so I fixed it my self. I cut a small piece of the packing bag and put it in the right hand side of the unit. Works fine over 500 rounds and NO stoppages..

    was the battery shaking loose upon firing?

    got it installed, fit and finish is 2nd to none. Activation by normal grip is awesome, just relieve pressure on middle finger and light is off, grip normal, it is on. Went into my pitch black basement and it lit up the whole room and you can see the sights very well. Have not fired gun with it on yet but am very impressed with it so far.

    Good to know!

    My XD SubCompact .40 has an Insight X2, and my Full size XD .45 has a Lasermax laser on the rail.

    Still don't have anything on my XDm though![:0][:p]

    I have mostly used their LaserGrip product line previously.
