Just a note for some of you who might be interested in purchasing that new fore grip and flashlight combination that Sig has come out with. I saw one at Gander Mountain the other day, and the price amazed me....over $200!
Here a few links if you don't know what I am talking about.

Well here is the answer, if you don't mind not getting the pretty blue box and the Sig label on the flashlight.

It's the same grip for $56, add a surefire G2 for about $35 and you have the same set up for less than $100. That is half the price of basically the same product, without the SIG Label!
Or get it here, with some different options (like a green laser) for a few bucks more.

Sorry for the rant, it just irritates me when there is no basic obvious differences, and the pricing is so far out of line.
By the way, I don't have anything against SigArms, I think that their firearms are some of the finest made, and priced accordingly to their quality.
The reason I noticed this is because I want a light on the carbine, but not for the $500+ a good surefire set up costs.
