These guys contacted me about becoming a dealer for them.

They only make one product.
At first I thought, cool.
But on further review I am not so sure. For a light with a tether I guess it might work, but the way they are displaying it, off hand pushing way out on the forearm and using the sling swivel to activate the light. Just seems awkward and uncomfortable.
Thoughts?

Awkward, uncomfortable, and I bet I could melt that bitch right off.

i know it wouldn't work with my side swivel mount. also, without using a pressure switch, who the hell uses a stance where your forward hand is in a spot to activate the light?

Depends.

IMO, a new, unknown, untested, maybe questionable-usefulness product, and they're contacting you, they can comp you one or two to see if it's something you want to sell. If you like 'em, you'll buy more at whatever terms.

If they have some ridiculous buy-in or volume requirements, IMO, on something as little as that, I wouldn't touch it unless you *know* it works, you *know* you can move a lot of 'em, and the buy-in gets you half off the sticker price.

Functionally, looks tough/uncomfortable to use to me, unless (like you said) the light has a remote tether.

And I put about as much faith in firearm parts reviews on About.com as I put in auto parts reviews on Amazon. Websites/companies that dilute their mission to that degree lose all credibility with me, and IMO, do more harm than good for the manufacturers whose products they cluelessly whore.

See if this works... from their own contact page... I think it says it... right-click for properties even if it's a red x... :laughing:
