Sorry for the absent of spring mod, probably it is left out in latest batch? It is just a 3min job that you can easily DIY ( I assume you have the necessary tools). I agreed that it was surprising heavier than a lot of similar size lights out there. However, you cannot ignore the fact that stainless steel is heavier metal than aluminium.

Based on this review I bought one of these. It’s a nice looking light, and bright, good thrower with a 14500. It gets warm but it has enough mass that you can run it for a good while on high before it gets uncomfortable. Sadly mine came without a tail clip of any kind and did not have a factory spring mod. Supposedly they are going to send me a tail clip but it’s “back ordered”. Just a heads up. I don’t find the grip to be a big problem, but it is a shockingly heavy light. Even if I ever get the clip, I doubt I would EDC the light. But it’s a good nightstand light, very classy looking.

You can see the same spring bypass in M4D M4X's review too. I doubt it is done deliberately just for the reviewer, as mine has several quality issues (mentioned in the review itself). They could have supplied me a "perfect grade" if they want to fool the readers... but it did not happen.

>>> Spring by-pass is nicely done by factory. [on the review copy] >> amazed at the spring bypass coming from the factory…they ARE listening > mine came without a tail clip of any kind and did not have a factory spring mod. Well, they’re listening. Maybe they screwed up and accidentally sent one through without the mod Or an old batch and a new batch are coming to buyers, China Lottery style. Or the reviewer received a modified light meant to perform better than the stock light. That does happen, in any industry (it’s why Consumer Reports buys retail off the shelf, to not be fooled again). Or … what else? Time will tell.

If you do not like shining finishing, this flashlight is definitely not for you. Yes, I would like to see it in black or other colors too.
