12ga Pistol Grip Light

[Dewyz1100]

Greetings all...

Those that have seen my build thread on my Mossberg 500MILS know that these projects can become an ongoing labor of love...

That being said... I am looking for an accessory that may or may not exist...

...a pistol grip that has an integrated light to replace the stock washboard horizontal fore grip...

I have looked into replacement fore grips that have built-in lights (Surefire and EOtech), but neither of them are of a pistol grip configuration...I have found that a pistol grip up front makes for a much more stable and comfortable shooting experience for me...

The old ATI pistol grip I had was simply solid plastic with no recoil absorbing comfort materials, but it allowed me to spread the recoil out into both my arms... Now to combine that notion with a weapon light without taking up space on the side of my tri-rail would be a bonus...

Anyone know of, or have experience with, an accessory such as this?

I suppose you could always just get a tri-rail forend, add foregrip and light and you'd probably be at least in the ballpark of what you're looking for. I don't know if an integrated sorta thing like the Surefire with a foregrip exists though.

That is the problem, I don't think what I want exists...

I have a warhammer rail system for it, but even that needs custom barrel brackets milled due to the additional thickness of a military barrel... Plus, I don't want a clunky light hanging off the side of it...want the light on the fore grip...

Worst comes to worst, I will modify the ATI grip I have, but as I know all too well - "Custom" usually means cobbling something together to make it work...with questionable results at times...

Oofta, that is a lot of metal. I do know there are some integrated grip/lights you can slap on a rail... But my Google-fu fails me concerning an integrated foregrip/forearm/flashlight.

Well, here is the only combination I was able to find that fit the bill for my requirements concerning the pistol grip weapon light...

Surefire G2X mounted within a Fab Defense T-Grip fore-grip along with a Fab Defense PR-MO hand guard mounted on the 500MILS...

I will have to massage the T-Grip a little bit to get rid of some rough edges, but overall the setup works well...hope it holds up under multiple shell shots...
