    Actually, they feel great on some B5 keymod handguards. I purchased two sets to mount on three handguards, and mount the scales at 10 and 2.

    Certainly superior in grip and ergonomics to any VFG I've used and your fingers really 'lock' into them when gripped.

    Considering what some people pay to have grips stippled, or what-have-you, I think the price is reasonable and I am VERY pleased with the product.

    That's great that they work for you. I admit I was tempted to get some also till I looked up prices of other keymod items.

    1 Rail Scales pack (3 pieces total) $69
    6 Noveske Polymer Keymod packs different colors available (48 pieces total) $72
    4 Midwest Industries Keymod panel kits different colors available (12 pieces total) $72
    2 Noveske Polymer Keymod packs and BCM Keymod vertical short grip $64
    1 Noveske Polymer Keymod pack, 1 Midwest Keymod panel kit, and BCM Keymod vertical short grip $70

    I've tried both the Noveske and KAC panels and they feel cheap (and slick-no grip) compared to the G10....the G10 panel has some good grip and the finger grooves on the panels strike the right balance of depth without being to abrasive.

    Comparing polymer to G10 is apples to oranges...for instance...I wouldn't compare my stock polymer SIG grips to the aftermarket G10 grip panels I purchased from Hogue (not cheap either); the G10 is a stronger, durable, non-flexing machined product that will last the life of the pistol.

    I'll admit, given that all my pistols are outfitted with G10 grips, it allowed me to justify the price point given the known qualities I would get from the product.

    Looking at the MI panels...wo...girth...which begs the question...one purchases a svelte hand guard and then adds panels that take the OD to that of M4 HG's? Noveske, MI, other vendors are missing the mark with their panels, IMO. Hence why I paid the piper and got the correctly made product for a slender hand guard.
