    That depends on how you look at it. The mod 3 fits my hand perfectly, I have no need for the adjustable mod 2, nor the extra complexity when the mod 3 fits the bill at a cheaper price point.

    +1 I agree. If it fits why bother with the chance of a part coming loose if a 1 piece would fit. Now if you needed the choice of different backstraps then that is a different story.

    I found this the best solution. Tried the BCM and they just didn't work for me at the time. Also look at the Ergo tactical. My brother uses it cause he has huge hands.

    This is all true if buyer has a chance to try both in person or has owned one before. However, a lot of us have to buy some parts online without ever getting a chance to try them in person in a LGS

    In my case, I'd tried Mod 0 & 1 before on other people's builds. I knew I wanted something like it, but bigger. Given that situation, it made more sense to buy the adjustable Mod 2.

    So if someone knows the Mod 3 will work for them, then they should buy it. For those that aren't sure, which is likely many first time buyers, the Mod 2 is a better option.

    Mod 3 is a more simple design, but the Mod 2 attachments mount very well. I don't see those backstraps ever coming loose. Still, if you know Mod 3 fits your hand, it is a little cheaper, I think.

    That looks very interesting. To be honest, my BCM Mod 2 works well, but is still a hair small.

    However, upon viewing the way it mounts and adjusts, I'm not sure I'm convinced.

    Do you have one of these? If so, is the mounting system solid? Any problems with the gap between the grip and lower receiver?

    I am also 6'4" and I run Magpul MOE's on all mine. They feel great!

    Update from original post: So I received the BCM Mod 2 and set it up with the #3 backstrap, giving me the largest surface area possible. This definitely fits my hand better, so I am happy with the purchase. It mounts solid and I have zero concerns about the interchangeable pieces moving on me. This is well designed and fits my Spikes tactical lower very well.

    With that being said, I still feel like I could use a little bit bigger grip. I think I will keep this for awhile though and keep my eyes peeled for a deal on an Ergo to try it out. Thanks to all those who made suggestions. Great forum.
