Crimson Trace MVF-515 Review A few years ago, I had a chance to compete in the last Crimson Trace Midnight 3-gun event to ever be held. 2003 Anti Product Activation Download Free Software. Part of my invitation as a writer, included my choice of a handful of Crimson Trace products to use at the match. I picked up a pair of green and red laser/light combination units and a Modular Vertical Foregrip from Crimson Trace that includes a laser and light unit built in. At the time, might stock of AR-15 accessories was a bit thin, so I figured why not kill three birds with one stone?

Get myself a tac light, tac laser and a VFG in one cool package. Also, since it was a gift, I didn’t bother looking up reviews for it beforehand. When the MVG-515 arrived, the first thing I noticed was how cool the packaging is. I know that sound stupid, but first impressions are permanent, and aesthetics/packaging is important when you’re paying hundreds of dollars for a product.

The Crimson Trace MVF certainly succeeds in that regard, but what about performance and features? I’ll be honest, I’m awful at reading instruction manuals.

I like to sit down, play with something for an hour and get solid visual memory of how it functions and feels in my hands. Yes, even with firearms I still do this. So When I first played with the MVF-515, I found its features to be lacking – like it wasn’t a very well thought-out product. At least that was until I went to the trouble of actually reading the instruction manual. See, by default the MVF has both its laser and light set to momentary only.

So if you depress the button for either function, it remains on only while you continue to hold said button. Above these buttons is a small nipple-like nub button that functions as a master on/off switch.

If the user holds this button down, it cycles through the available functions of whichever component is above it. So the right one controls the tac light, and the left one controls the laser.

This is actually pretty cool. It means shooters can independently program either accessory to fit their personal or mission critical needs.

The available functions include a momentary normal, momentary strobe and constant on/off. While tactically I normally like to have my lights set to momentary so I can quickly clear an area without broadcasting my position to anyone lurking nearby, the stiff controls of the MVF make it difficult to depress fully and hold. This might seem like a bad attribute, but it actually helps prevent shooters from accidently turning on either portion of the light, or from it being clicked on while inside a rifle case or safe. One thing I found surprising about the MVF, is the extent to which the laser portion of the grip is adjustable for windage and elevation. Sure, most laser aiming modules are adjustable, but this thing has like 40 MOA of adjustment.
