The term refers to an accessory designed to enhance the functionality of a weapon-mounted light, specifically the Streamlight TLR-7 Sub, when attached to a firearm utilizing a 1913 Picatinny rail system. This small platform provides an extended surface area, often improving a shooter’s grip and control, particularly during weapon manipulation. As an example, a shooter might use this accessory to achieve a more consistent and secure grip when activating the weapon light under stress.
These accessories offer several advantages. They can contribute to improved recoil management, faster target acquisition, and enhanced overall weapon handling. Historically, modifications like these have emerged from the practical needs of law enforcement, military personnel, and competitive shooters seeking to optimize their equipment for performance and reliability. The demand for these items reflects a commitment to improving ergonomics and operational efficiency in firearm usage.
