Ryker CTRL – Control Your Rifle and Your Light

Out of stock

Product Short Description:

All the ergonomic benefits of the Ryker Grip, plus integrated light and laser activation without breaking your shooting position.

 

The Ryker CTRL is the evolution of the side-mounted Ryker Grip. It keeps your support hand in the same powerful, low-fatigue position—but adds a modular control interface so you can run your weapon light or laser with a simple thumb press. No more awkward pressure pads, cable mess, or compromised grip. CTRL lets you manage recoil, stability, and illumination from one consistent hand position.

Product Description

What Is the Ryker CTRL?

The Ryker CTRL is a side-mounted forward grip that combines biomechanically efficient support-hand placement with integrated accessory control. Instead of mounting under the rail like a traditional vertical grip, CTRL mounts on the side, aligning your hand in a more natural position that mirrors your pistol grip. That position lets you engage stronger back and shoulder muscles, pull the rifle firmly into the shoulder pocket, and manage recoil with less strain.

On top of that, CTRL adds a thumb-accessible control surface and connector port so you can run a weapon light or laser without shifting your grip. The result is a cleaner rifle, faster activation, and a more stable shooting platform.

CTRL Base vs. CTRL Pro

The Ryker CTRL comes in two core configurations so you can build the system the way you run your rifle.

CTRL Base

  • Same side-mounted Ryker ergonomics as the Basic Grip

  • Textured body for solid purchase in gloves or wet conditions

  • Removable top plate that can be upgraded later with a connector kit

  • Built-in cable management channels on both sides

  • Ships with Short Post M-LOK mount and one Ryker CMC (Cable Management Clip)

CTRL Base is perfect if you want the grip and control foundation now, and plan to add a light/laser or connector option later.

CTRL Pro

  • Everything in CTRL Base plus integrated connector and cable

  • Available with USB-C, Crane, or SureFire-type connector

  • Thumb activation surface positioned so you never have to break your firing grip

  • Includes Short Post M-LOK mount, one Ryker CMC, and a 7" cable matched to the connector type

CTRL Pro is the ready-to-run package: mount it, plug in your device, manage recoil and light/laser from the exact same grip.

Why Side-Mounted Control Beats Pressure Pads

Traditional setups force you to compromise: either the grip is comfortable but the switch is awkward, or the switch is perfect but the grip is weak and fatiguing. Pressure pads and top-rail switches also tend to create cable clutter, hot spots, and accidental white-light activation.

The Ryker CTRL solves that by:

  • Keeping your hand in a strong, neutral, side-mounted position

  • Letting your thumb do the work of activation—just like it does on a pistol

  • Eliminating the need to shift your hand or roll the rifle to find a pressure pad

  • Giving you predictable, repeatable control of both the gun and the light/laser from one position

You get faster response, cleaner ergonomics, and fewer ways to fumble when it matters.

Key Benefits of the Ryker CTRL

  • Integrated control, not an add-on – Grip and activation are designed together, not bolted on as separate parts.

  • Improved recoil management – Side-mounted leverage pulls the rifle straight back into the shoulder pocket, helping control muzzle rise and improving shot-to-shot stability.

  • Reduced fatigue – Uses larger back and shoulder muscles instead of isolating the front deltoid and forearm, making long training days and high round counts more manageable.

  • Cleaner rifle setup – Built-in cable channels and included CMC reduce cable snagging, tape adhesive, and improvised routing.

  • Faster, more intuitive activation – Thumb-driven control mimics pistol mechanics, making it easier to maintain a consistent firing grip while managing white light or laser.

  • Scalable system – Choose CTRL Base and upgrade later, or run CTRL Pro with your connector of choice from day one.

Like the original Ryker Grip, the CTRL was developed with input from biomechanics and ergonomics experts, engineers, and experienced military professionals. The side-mounted position keeps the wrist in a more neutral angle and allows the shooter to generate rearward tension directly into the shoulder pocket. That means:

  • Less strain on the wrist and elbow

  • Better control during rapid fire and transitions

  • A support-hand position that feels more like a pistol than a traditional “under the rail” grip

CTRL takes that ergonomic foundation and adds control of your weapon light or laser so you don’t have to sacrifice stability to reach a switch.

The Ryker CTRL is designed as a complete stand-alone upgrade to your rifle’s ergonomics and light/laser control. When paired with the Ryker Retention Sling, you gain a system that keeps the rifle tight to the body, ready to drive out, and easier to control through movement and transitions. The sling is not required to run CTRL, but together they create a more stable, efficient, and repeatable shooting platform.
