Anyone have a concrete release date on this?
Not even us. We finally got signoff on the texture for it. We've got a lot of things stovepiping right now as we try and get agile for the move. Frustrating, but we're working it as fast as we can.
Wow nothing like hearing it straight from the horses mouth. Thanks for the reply. Will this have a rubber texture like the MOE+? I love that texture!
Duane,
I really like the MOE+ grip with the rubber texture.
A K2+ would be the equivalent with a more vertical angle.
Any plans for a version like this?
I would be interested too, along with a handstop that attached directly to MOA handguard (without rail). Or a AFG that attached to MOE handguard without a rail.Quote:

Looking forward to this... will buy one once its available
Looking forward to getting my hands on the K2. Thanks for the update.
I would like to see a K2+ grip as well. I love my MIAD' s but want to try one of these.
I too am dying to get my hands on one... :p
The first I noticed when I got my AR and shouldered it was that I was instinctively pointing the rifle too high.
So I ordered a BCM Mod 1 grip. I MUCH prefer this angle (it MUCH closer matches my AK hogue grip, which I am so used to) but the grip tapers too thin too quickly. I preferred the thickness and "feel" of the MOE grip.
I just discovered this as I perused the 2014 catalog. It will be the next grip on my SCAR.
Yep I'd take a K2+ for sure.
I saw that the MOE AK grip recently started shipping. Can we take that as good news on the K2?
At the very least, can we assume similar texturing?
Another vote for a K2+ grip.
O.K. I'm new to the AR world, but I keep reading about the negativity of buying unnecessary equipment.
This particular grip strikes me as a really nice, but completely unnecessary, but what do I know...?
Am I way off base or (hey, I'm a newby...) is this something the mod loving crowd wants, while smirking at the austere equipment crowd who recommend no mods that aren't absolutely necessary...?
The difference between grips like the standard A2, MOE vs the K, and Gunfighter grips is the angle. The A2 and MOE are 56 to 58 degrees, as the K and Gunfighter grips are 65 degrees. The angle design is based off of using the squared stance with a short length of pull, and the idea is to reduce the pressure and strain on your wrist when using the squared stance.
The K2 is going to be an improvement over its predecessor, obviously. The +, as in MOE+ is a rubber overmold that in my opinion really improves grip, as well as grip comfort and helps the grip fill my hand better. This is my personal preference though, but is also why I feel the K2+ would be a necessary improvement, as well as a few other members. I hope this helps. :D
I really need one of these grips on my 8" rifle. The magpul grip is almost MP-5 style in the degree of angle and that's exactly the grip I was thinking about finding for my shorty AR.
DAMN you MAGPUL! Quit making awesome products! You keep stealing my hard-earned money!
Since the BCM grip will not fit on either of my lowers, I will buy two of these in FDE plus rubber over mold, once they are out. :)
Almost there, gents. This may be my new favorite grip.
This looks like a very nice grip. I have the MOE-K on one of my lowers and its too small and narrow for my hands. The K2 will be a very nice upgrade!
Waiting with $$ in hand.
Need a few...:D
A K2+ would be a nice touch to my rifles. Looking forward to their release. Good luck with the move.
Thanks everyone for the reduced grip education.
I haven't shot my AR enough to know if one will benefit me, but I'm sure going to find out...!
Larger by a bit.
Any idea of a timeframe for a K2+? Since switching to the moe+ on two of my rifles I've become attached to the rubber overmold. I really like this new grip with the dovetail but it needs to have some rubber for me to rid my sbr of its miad.
I will be buying at least two, one for an AR and one for my McRees 700 chassis. Maybe several more if they are as good I expect.
I'm interested in seeing these as magpul always does a great job with their products. I have moe+ grips on two of my rifles, but I really like the angle of the uc grip23, so this should be a good mesh of those two great grips.
I recently purchased the Umbrella grip to try out and while I prefer the angle, I couldn't get over the lack of grip (I run MOE+ grips) and storage. A friend told me to try out the BCM grips but I'd rather now wait for the K2+........hopefully very soon!
Oh snap, I totally forgot this was coming out! I'm looking for a grip to get and I definitely plan on getting this! Hopefully its released soon enough. (and I mean before 2014)
