Anyone here done a side by side comparison with the new BCM grip?
ETA: ^^^ You beat me to it.

I liked the BCM MOD 3 grip gapper on regular receivers. So far, without much range, I think (?) I prefer the newer K2 over the BCM. Every body is different, so time will tell. The gapper may not apply, depending on the trigger guard you have.

MrGunsngear, Poofdaddy, whatever review on the K-2
^That's already been posted in the previous page. It only discusses the grip features itself as opposed to a comparison between similar grips.
Finally received mine and installed it tonight. Much more comfortable than the MOE and the texture is perfect. Also much more comfortable than the BCM I had. I liked the angle, it was just to thin for my hands.
Thanks Magpul, you guys got it right!

I guess I'll be the contrarian. I don't like the K2 I received today. I've been using a BCM Mod3 grip on my AR and thought that it was almost perfect, but wished that the thicker portion of the sides could've run a bit higher on the grip before tapering off. The Magpul K2 IMO is too thin. I don't feel like it supports the portion of my palm by the index finger and thumb very well. I also don't like the recess where the web of your hand is supposed to go. I feel like it tries to make my hand cant forward at a steeper angle than the grip is supposed to. While the sides have a good texture, the front and back are pretty slippery and I felt my fingertips didn't have as good of a purchase to hold the weapon compared to my BCM Mod3. The K2 sure is light though.
Took a few pics comparing to the Umbrella Corp. grip. The Umbrella Corp. grip has more of a verticle angle than the K2.

From what can tell my K-2 has the same angle as my BCM Mod 3. So far I like the K-2, especially the "index groove" for the web of your hand; it really seems to locate mine almost like locking it in. I'm going to shoot the match with it on Saturday and see. I like the thicker front to back size than the BCM. If I had any gripe at all and it would possibly be only a very, very slight one, it would be that it's a touch thin in the side to side dimension but again, that's negligible.
It does make the elbow tuck down almost automatically (most of us shoot that way anyway but it's nice that it promotes GOOD habits by design).
I'll let y'all know how it goes.
