Decent
The bands were decent, but the handles were poor material, and the "door anchor" was a joke. If you're wanting something cheap get it, but i'd suggest to just spend a little more for better material. Preferably, go somewhere where you are able to see the material in person like a sports-shop.

Great flashlight...BUT,
3 of 3 found this helpful It is a great flashlight, but I'm not so sure how well it is for a compact hand pistol, I have a Springfield XD9, compact 4" barrel, and it fits perfect, the flashlight is super bright, it works great, handles great at the range. Shot 100 rounds without a problem, batteries didn't fall out and flashlight didn't turn off as I've seen in other reviews. BUT I do have a problem with it, when it came down to cleaning my gun, as soon as I took off the light, you can hear the gun powder residue grinding in the flashlight lock whenever I open it and close it, I used some of my gun oil to clean it out, but after 10-15minutes of cleaning it, I sorta just gave up. I did take a vast majority out, but I can still hear it grinding in there....now I don't know how bad it'll affect the light in future uses, so if it messes up in a week, or mknth, or a year, I'll be sure to give you guys an update how many uses it lasted me. Also, I'll be adding some pictures for you to see, the light does stick out "in front of the barrel", so if you have a compact gun, be advised, you will have to clean off your light after every use. Goodluck to anyone trying to find a good light...I do recommend it, I love the light, just not so sure how well I like it for a compact. Again, IT DOES FIT, it's just a hassle to clean off and it might not last if you continously use it. I only go to the range about once a month, so it's a good one for me. It'll definitely work in an emergency setting, or for your home/counter gun.
Picture #1 (withe the wooden background) will show what I meant on how the flashlight sticks "in front of the barrel".
Picture #4&5 (close up of the light from that locks to the rail) the lever to the right is the lock, which tightens the lock into place which by the way is tight and snug, but I hope you can see that gap on the right, that is where all the residue gets into, and when you pull the lever back to lock, or forward like it shows, you can hear it grind and feel it tighten up.
I really hope this helps out anyone looking at this light.
