How's the quality control? Some folks say it works in the grip, others say no. Some say lasts as long as original, others say 1/2 or 1/3

I'm not having any problems with my replacement battery. It seems to last just as long as the orginal . I have one in the grip and one in the camera. I cannot tell the difference of which one is where. The replacement is physically lighter so long term it may not last as long . Great bang for the buck value.

I run mine in the extended grip and the performance is close enough to make it a great deal for the $$

It's less than 1/3. 15 minutes of video maybe. Never charges more than 70% and the charger indicates a charging error by rapidly blinking the amber light. I absolutely don't recommend this. The seller refunded me promptly.

I cannot address the battery life as I have only used it for a couple of hundred exposures. My big complaint is the tight fit in my D7000. It will not eject like the OEM battery. I have finally resorted to a strong magnet to pull it out. Therefore, I only use it for emergency backup as the original battery will give me over 550 exposures.

to be honest i can't tell. i use it in the grip, so it just adds on to what i have in my Nikon En-EL15. it certainly adds some battery power though.

When i got my case 3 of the grips were on perfectly center except for one. I pulled it off and re-centered it with some super glue. It has not moved since. If you still have the grips I would recommend to try and re-glue them back on. If not contact, the seller and see if they can send you replacement grips. Hope this helps.

Yes, it works. Read the full review below from Brian Dudenbostel - he describes very clearly how to program this grip; much better than the instructions that came with it. In fact, I printed out his review to keep with the original instructions.

Fit the poly like a glove. I also have an early stainless public defender had to do some grinding on the inside of grip to get a decent fit. Maybe I got a bad one? But did not fit my early Judge as well as the poly. But for sure gives you a better grip. Put these on both of mine. But the regular judge fitting was very frustrating. Broke screw off in my older judge had to drill and tap it out thank God I did not get the threads when drilling but was very unhappy with the work I had to do on the older judge to fit the same grip. But poly took about 15 minutes stainless one took about 4 hours. Hope this helps. Fit the poly like a glove.

Yes it is, The cheeper hand grips are poorly made compared to the original hand grips with all the control markings on the cheeper version coming off after just a bit of use, and the controls themselves start to malfunction after a short period of time. The original grip is just better made, and from my experience is worth the extra money you will never have a problem with it. I hope this helps.

Just rec mine and it tore along the seam during installation. I was still able to fit it with the tear and get an idea of the enhanced grip - it feels awesome! Yes - you need to trim it to accommodate the grip safety however it's such a snug fit i can't imagine that it will shift around especially with the springfield grip under it. I exchanged it for a new one since obviously I thought it was a bit defective to tear along the seam and reordered a new one. With my second attempt at installation I plan on either use windex as a lubricant or bust out my heat gun to soften it up. This grip transforms the XDS! Can't wait to shoot with it!

I emailed your question to my son who actually got that grip from me for Christmas. I am about 99.9% sure that grip will not come with a cartridge. 99.9% sure

I think it's about the same quality. I would not buy it thinking it will outlast the OEM part. I've had my sander over 10 years. Never a foam decay problem. Velcro wore out every time due to lots of use.

I have a 642 with this grip on it and it is real nice to hold. I do not know if my 642 is a 642-2. I will let you know on Monday.

Yes it is. The grip is nice but it wears out very quickly. Like 1 to 2 months of regular use.

Yes ; it is about an inch longer and a little bit wider at the middle of the grip. But givesa better grip than the original.

Hi Mike, I just received similar batteries from this vendor and I am 100% satisfied with the quality and performance of the products. After receiving them, I oredered two more for a 12 v Makita also. They appear to be a perfectly acceptable replacement to the originals.Buy with confidence, I did and don't regret it.

That's how I've been using it for the past six months with no issues. I can also use one battery in the grip and it still works.

I think part of the reason this grip works well with the later model pistols (Gen 3 and beyond) is because it's cut to fit around the finger grooves in those pistols. Will it fit? Sure, but it may not stay as well.

There are a number of non-OEM (not Canon that is) suppliers of this identical grip for a third of the cost. I have one I bought, after a year and a half I can say with confidence it works every bit as well as the original. That and the fact that I could buy 3 for the cost of Canon's made me willing to take the chance. Probably manufactured by the same people that make them for Canon as a matter of fact. Like Moe, I'm a CPS member but tired of the manufacturer raking us over the coals for accessories (check the price of a lens cap for instance!) after we've already spent thousands of dollars on equipment.

If you have a friend that has a functional grip, try theirs too. This could help in troubleshooting. Good luck!
