    I bought a Midwest industries 2 piece rail for my S&W. Nice rail for not a lot of money. It is fairly light and is robust despite being the 2 piece kind. However, I bought 2 of the Magpul MOE HGs (for my Colt and RRA/BCM mid) and really like them. I used the IWC Mount and Slot for a Surefire light and I am planning on using the IWC QD mount for a sling. Very nice set up and economical as well.
    Another thing to consider is how much "stuff" do you plan on putting on the rail?? Most of that rail space is just that, space. It usually ends up being covered up by a panel or ladder of some sort.

    Sounds like you might want to lean towards a FF rail in that case.

    I have been very happy with the DD EZ CAR rail. It is light yet very solid and took only about 2 minutes to install.

    I would also look at the FF DD Omega rails.

    The more I think about it maybe it would be best if I just poney up the extra and just go with a free float. That way if I decide to mount an optic later I will be GTG. Im in no rush. I just wanted to be an informed buyer.

    The new trend of modular handguards (such as the Troy Extreme) are a really clever way to reduce weight, give a nice grip, reduce snag, AND drop cost.
    They do get warm under a very fast firing tempo, but most people never notice.
