The hand grip on my LE6920 is a bit small for my hand...I have long hands and fingers. Any thoughts on good grips that would fit both my rifle and my hand? I will be doing offhand shooting as well so it needs to work both ways. Thanks!
Magpul's MIAD is worth a look...
I like the MIAD grip with the largest back strap installed.

Are you referring to the pistol grip or the forgrip?
I really like the Stark Industries grip- photo by Stickman. IMHO it improves the grip angle on the AR and allows a straighter "press".

Here's another vote for the Magpul MIAD or MOE.
Then that is my vote to
I'm in the same boat, I'm 6' 3' and I have large hands,
I have set up all my ARs with the Magpul MIAD "full kit" with the enhanced trigger guard and the largest back strap.
Before that, I used to be fond of the CAA G27 grip. It;s worth looking as well, probably the only CAA product worth considering.

I tried the Magpul MIAD's largest grip and found it very comfortable, but it made using the safety a bit harder. I went back to the medium (B2) grip.

I have large hands and put the First Samco G-27 grip on my Bushmaster as soon as I got the rifle. Works great for me. Cheap, but it works.

This this this this. I searched for a long time for the perfect grip. As soon as I saw the Stark I knew it was for me, and I was correct. I don't think I could ever use another grip.
The only thing they need is to rubberize the textured part. That would be perfect.
It brings your hand back away from the trigger so that you pull with more of your finger tip instead of after the knuckle.
I don't think the above photo is by Stickman. Zero7One is someone different I believe.

They also make it in digital desert. Or as I like to call it, digital dessert :)

That's the CAA grip...

I think I can see why you liked it. There appears to be a black cap of sorts on the bottom, is there any storage space inside?
Look into the Sierra Precision SPR grip. It's very filling.

Yes there is, and the cap is pretty secure, it's a tight fit in there.
Another vote for the Stark, love it.

Yeah. I'm not sure how safe it is though. The cap fell out in the cold with nothing in it. It just sticks in, no latch. That's another thing they could change about it.
Kwrangln is right, it does feel tight at room temp. Have you ever stored anything in it in the cold?
The Ergo Tactical Deluxe is one I wanted to try but never had the chance

Another vote for the MIAD. ;)
The Stark is one option, but not everyone's cup of tea.
It does offer storage in the grip and a version with an attachment point.

Fascinating. Now that concept I really like.
Assuming it is mounted properly and durably, of course.

I like the MOE grip a lot....I used the medium MIAD insert with the plain front strap anyways so the MOE was a natural for me. I do wish they would use a higher quality cap though...the MOE caps seem to rattle around a little bit. The MIAD grip cap/core works better.
The ERGO and TD Battlegrip both feel too skinny to me.
I'm currently running an MOE with the MOE trigger guard. It's working out okay, much better than that damned A2. And yeah, the bottom cap is a piece of junk, though it does stay in place.
However, the Stark grip has really piqued my interest. I like the grip angle and the broad, smooth transition from the front strap to the trigger guard; looks even more refined than the MIAD. Manipulating my rifle one-handed (such as when reloading) puts a lot of force on my ring finger, and even with the MOE setup I have, it still get some irritation.
I need to get my hands on one.
Another for Magpul MIAD/MOE

To each their own, but I think that Stark grip is just goofy looking! Function over form though, right!

It looks a lot better with a carbine stock than it does a rifle stock..

I like a good looking rifle, but whenever I'm running scenarios in my head of times when I'd have to use it, I'm glad I choose accessories that feel natural and aid with just simply being able to get ammo where it needs to be accurately.
6'1" 260 lb gorilla with decent size meat hooks... I prefer the MIAD as it gives good length of pull on the trigger, but not so big as to diminish grip. Use the old 1911 analogy... grip a broom stick and the fat end of a base ball bat... have someone try and take them from you... then decide which you can grip better... fat or thin.

I had one of these and did not care for it . When you look from the side at the curved section that goes over the web of your hand , you can see how much thicker this area is compared to other brands . It positions your grip at more of a right angle to the bore .I let my two sons try it on thier ARs and even as inexpierenced as they are they said it was uncomfortable .
I prefer the CAA with adjustable backstraps....

I am looking at another miad or a moe or maybe a serria precision which ever is the larger of the two .

That precisely what I like about it. It takes getting used to because it's so different, but it's a more natural wrist position.
+1 for MIAD. I have big hands and long fingers, and used MIADs with the large back straps on both of my ARs.
