| Are there any manufacturers looking to build a pistol with a light integrated into the frame? I would envision a modular system like what Surefire makes to avoid obsolescence. I would also envision controls integrated into the grip like Crimson Trace grips. Seems like if it was done right, it could be really slick. |

i wouldn't doubt that one would pop out, but then you are kinda stuck with factory options. a lot of folks like the modularity that a rail gives a handgun, just like it does an AR. you can choose the light/laser to meet your requirements rather than being stuck with the one the factor decided upon. i like the integral controls idea though.

| perhaps it could be built-in, but have removable/exchangable parts? bulbs, higher-cap batteries, etc. Maybe a user-ejectable grip-mounted beam like on the Crimson Trace handgun grips. A small tool could eject the mechanism completely for replacement. It would require more miniaturization of components, however. |
