If it tells you anything, this is my third review of it.

I was at a shooting event a little while back and came across a product called the Ryker Grip.

I quickly discovered it was a side-attached vertical grip (according to the ATF).

I have to be honest; I thought, really?.

How many ways can we market grips?

What is wrong with the standard vertical grips I have?

That was, until I held it and aimed.

Again, I thought, that feels really different/strange.

I really wanted to get one of these to put on it and put it to the test.

I cant really explain it you just have to hold it and see what you think.

I had a buddy over to do some shooting and handed him the SOCOM with the Ryker on it.

He held it up and said the exact same things.

But all of these initial impressions are irrelevant.

The only thing that really matters is if it makes a difference when you shoot.

The next thing I wanted totest was the Viridian X5L-RS Gen 3 Laser/Lightin conjunction with the Ryker Grip.

The X5L-RS did NOT disappoint.

With the way the grip is positioned, it was a match made in heaven.

Dont take my word for it, see for yourself!
