    I've had mine for about a month and have been out shooting with it twice. I like it a lot. It is just long enough to get a good grip on it with my thumb forward on the left side of my hand guard. I don't miss the lack of storage space as i never use it on a VFG.

    The cap is not removable? Why the tapeswitch parts then? I can see carrying over the endcaps and somewhere in the production process epoxying them in place, but I don't see where in the production process they needed to make a mold with a fake tape switch pocket. That is unless they are overruns that have been cut down but I'm 99% sure that's not the case, right?

    I like them just didn't expect them to look exactly like the homebrew variety.

    I'll hazard a guess that it's not a new mold and is made the same way the non-retail Irish grip was...with a saw.

    That TD grip looks pretty nice. I have been using a TDI/First Samco HKPDW-style stubby grip for a while now. It offers some storage space, too.

    The tapeswitch slot is there because it's just a cut-down fullsize.

    I guess so. Thought they'd be making a new one without the hassle of having to cut and glue a few pieces...

    Wow. I never thought this could be spun into a negative.

    Less product? Less functional? For some, the shorter size is the right size, that is, it fits the way they use it. For others, the longer size is best for them.

    TD offered one length, and now they offer two. This is what is known as "improving the situation."

    Vote with your dollar. The other way to skin the cat is that you're not out any functionality if you roll your own. Considering there is actually more labor involved in the short grips I'd expect them to cost more...
