I had the gangster grip with the tactical flashlight, mounted forward on the bottom quad at basically the same place you'd have to mount yours. While I found it to be very cool on the internet and it looked great mounted on the rifle, I also found it to be fairly useless for actually firing the rifle. Mine is currently residing in the spare parts drawer.

Cool does not equal functional. I'm not going to be going on any commando raids any time soon, and since I have common-wall neighbors on either side of my condo, a rifle that could kill somebody two units away is not the gun I'll go for as a home defender (unless it's zombie apocalyse time and I don't give a shit about errant rounds). I shoot this gun at the range, and at the range all the cool gizmos just get in the way.

But buying this stuff and farting around with it is a fun part of the process, so knock yourself out. I certainly don't want to discourage you from doing that.
