Favorite AR Pistol Grip

[P2Vaircrewman]

Tried a bunch and settled on the Magpul K. I don't like any grip with the beaver tail, they move my thumb too far from the safety. I wish the MOE K had internal storage but I can live without it.

I actually like the A2 pistol grip. I've never felt a compelling need to change it.

Having said that, the Magpul MIAD is a good grip, as is the BCM gunfighter grip.

Can we discuss vertical foregrips, too?

Fave:

1. TangoDown VFG, both in stubby and full-length configurations--heavy duty polymer, water tight storage compartment, sturdy installation. I keep debating if I like the one with the American Defense quick detach mount or the two locking tabs better. Either way, a winner and my personal choice.

Okay:

1. Magpul foregrips, both in M-LOK and rail-mounted versions. They work. No fanfare.

Junk:

1. MFT vertical foregrip. Cheap plastic airsoft quality junk with a cheesy rubber plug for the storage compartment.
2. BCM Gunfighter vertical grip, rail mount model. Shocking I would say this is junk since I like most BCM products, but I decided the attachment method seemed a little fragile with two dinky springs and a moveable polymer gripping surface that locks down with a screw. It's just too Mickey Mouse for a fighting weapon IMHO. I found the stubby grip to be too short for all my fingers. I caught myself shifting my offhand position constantly. (And I use forward grips more as a hand stop rather than like a Tommy Gun foregrip). It also comes with a cheesy looking rubber plug for the storage compartment. I DO like the option of mounting it slant forward or backward, though. I have not tried the M-LOK or Keymod versions, so those may be okay.

Favorite is the BCM Mod 3, but not by enough to switch out from original Magpul MOE that I much prefer over A2 and even A1 grips.

Ergo on my bench shooters that have scopes, bcm on the training guns with red dots or lpvos. I like the more vertical grip of the bcm when actually running a gun.

I like the ERGO's on most of my rifles. Though as ugly as the Larue grip is, it feels pretty good in the hand with the palm swells.

I'm with these guys. I like a more vertical grip when shooting upright and a more angled grip for prone/bench. I don't know that is a by-product of breaking my wrists, or normal for most folks.

When I unboxed my 6.5G Ultimate Upper one of my first thoughts was wow, that is a butt-ugly grip. I found I actually liked it for what I got the rifle for, which is more prone-ish shooting.

I've settled on B5 Type 23's for everything else. I've tried several other vertical grips - Gunfighter, K2, etc. - and settled on the Type 23's.

Talk about an irrelevant question. Kinda like asking what hand do you use to choke your chicken! Do you use 4 fingers under with your thumb on top or reverse cowgirl with you thumb underneath facing your balls. BTW.. What size shoes do you find the most comfortable?

So it is wrong to ask a question? Even though I posted in the wrong forum

Nah, maybe a poll in which you asked that question and also asked folks to explain their choices would have been more useful, but it's good.

I also appreciate GH41 providing pro-tips on self-gratification. If you find yourself alone and unable to get a woman, practicing prostrate health by hand is a good idea, just don't overdo it, you'll go blind.

After being a "grip snob" and trying out pretty much every grip on the market, I've went full circle back to the MOE on most of my builds. I've got a BCM lower that came with a Mod3 Gunfighter which I like and have no plans to change though.

A carbine's grip is a personal thing, no one answer for all.

Personally I dig the modern reduced angle grips offered by several different manufacturers.

On my AR's I have BCM Gunfighter grips; Mod 0's on KISS carbines, and either Mod 2's or Mod 3's on everything else.

Hogue overmolded grip w/beavertail and finger grooves.

NYH1.

Not to offend OP, but this thread is pointless and can be summed as - list every grip on the market. same thing as people ask what stock do you like the most... personal preference prevails over in this case anything. i've discovered that for such things such as grip, stock, forward gip, and even a muzzle device it's impossible to say which one YOU like unless you actually use it.

For barrels under 14.5? Plain old A2
