    Grip suggestion for larger hands?

    Hey guys, new to the forums, but lurked for quite awhile. Finally put together my first AR build last week and took it to the range. I noticed the standard a2 grip seems a little insignificant in my hand.

    I'm 6'4" and have bigger hands. Any suggestions on a replacement grip? I tried searching the forums but didn't come up with many answers.

    I'm a big ape as well and like a larger volume grip. I tried a few on friends' builds, but didn't find anything just right and ended up getting the BCM Mod 2 grip with changeable backstraps. The grip is already wider than an A2 style and has a more comfortable angle. The switchable backstraps really allow you to get it right. It has built in storage cap as well, so you can store batteries or whatnot inside the grip.

    You might also check out the Magpul MIAD grips, which are also size adjustable.

    Ergo also makes some interesting grips. Some people love them, so hate them.

    I love the Magpul Miad's. I have shot the new BCM and I didn't notice it bothering me. It felt good.

    I notice / appreciate the miad when manipulating the gun. More beef more control.

    In addition to those mentioned above, I suggest you try the large Tango Down grip, one of my favorites.

    I totally agree- first thing I ditched on my rifle.
    Now, I don't know how big your hands are, but I have pretty large hands (for reference, I can wrap my hand completely around a rail with XTM panels on the sides with my fingers still meeting at the top), and a standard MOE grip works fine for me.

    However, the BCM grips look real nice....

    Not a big guy at 5' 10" 195 but I got big XL mits myself and I have the BCM grip, not sure exactly which one. It feels fantastic.

    Edit: Mine is the mod 3 gunfighter grip.

    Thanks for the Ergo link. I'm wondering if those will fit on the Colt 901-16S. It has a larger lower and "normal" grips are too small. I too like larger grips.

    As a fellow large handed I have found 3 grips that work depending on what othe factors you like:

    1) MIAD
    2) BCM mod 2
    3) Stark SE (I actually love this grip)
