Very light

The handguard is extremely light yet strong enough to handle the firearm with. Easy to install. Worth the money if looking to save weight.

Almost weighs nothing

I got this for my version of a WWSD rifle. Since I got a slightly more heavy criterion pencil barrel, I needed a lighter handgaurd for balance. This fit my needs perfectly. My version is an under six pound rifle with a scope and an empty ten round magazine. The handgaurd is featherweight and much stronger than I expected. I'll probably be getting another exact handgaurd, for a clone of the first WWSD rifle.

Lightest handguard on the market

If you want the lightest handguard on the market this is it. Feels very tough in your hands, does not seem weak or flimsy. Only real con is the price but have you tried being less poor?

Best on Market

I've used numerous handguards and nothing has matched the Brigand Arms handguard. Ultralight, super cool and durable! I've purchased two of them (9" and 15") and I look forward to using their new parts as well. Highly recommend. Everyone at the range wants to see it and try it out.

Better than expected

I used this on a PCC 9mm build. Boy, it's light. Surprisingly rigid and tougher than I thought it would be. If you push on one segment you can feel it give, but overall the "tube" is rigid and braces well on walls or support. It's pricey... the only reason it's 4 star and not 5. I'm planning on getting a 15" version on my 3gun rifle. I like the feel of the tubes, they offer good grip.

Very poor design

It is very lightweight and attractive but if you are looking for strength, safety and stability look elsewhere. This product is held together with glue. Mine came apart while firing in the field. No matter how strong carbon fiber is, this product is only as strong as the glue.... Not worth the money. Too many other solid carbon fiber handguards available.
