When I first saw the description of the clip, I did stop and think, "what if molle-compatible means it will be like half an inch wide? ... Nah, that's ridiculous." 😛
Well I've got my clip mounted to the light. Now I'm trying to find the least painful way to grip it. If I hold it the way I usually hold a clipped light, with the clip running along the tips of my fingers, the long upturned tip jabs into my thumb before it even gets to the button. If I position it opposite that, the edge of the clip cuts into my two middle fingers uncomfortably, the edge hits right at the joint. Clip towards knuckles feels insecure, the tip starts slipping across my hand as soon as I exert pressure on the button. The best I've found so far is to get the angled tip under the tip of my index finger and use that to help grip; but then when I go to push the button, the new position the clip is forcing on me and the pressure on the light cause it to rotate in my grip with the positioned index finger as the axis. Meanwhile, my index finger slowly starts to slip up the ramp from the pressure and I have to increase my grip pressure with the rest of my fingers to pull it back down and secure it since my fingers are wrapping over the clip and only about halfway around the light due to having to turn the clip to a tolerable direction and move the light outwards to get my thumb on it. Increasing the pressure, of course, causes it to once again bite into my fingers at the edges. After a couple minutes of just experimenting with gripping and activating it, my lower two fingers feel slightly abraded to the point that I do not look forward to using the light for any more extended period without gloves. But this is my initial impression after just putting it on, so take it with a grain of salt. We all know how we tend to learn to deal with things. I'm going to use it a bit and see if it stops irritating the heck out of me.
On kind of a side note, the clip is fairly flexy. It's no problem to compress it down all the way to the light, which gives a very secure grip that reduces sliding a bit. But it's still uncomfortable and I don't use lights to exercise my patented kung fu grip. Can you tell I'm not entirely sold on this design yet?
