Just looking for some feedback on the various aftermarket grips out there.
What are your experiences, preferences, and warnings?
Thanks in advance.
BTW....I have fairly large hands, XL glove size.

The Magpul MIAD is my absolute favorite. 2nd is the Ergo and 3rd is the Tangodown.

It's expensive but it does fit about 95% of all people you can make it big like an Ergo/SPR or small like an A1Originally Posted by Templar

I would say the Magpul MIAD. adjustable back straps to fit your needs.. I have bear paws aswell. and my opinion the Magpul MIAD fits the bill for me.. my second choice will be Tango battle grips. followed my first samco G27. The three mentioned also have Grip core storage for 123's,AA etc.
Good luck on what fits your needs..

I like my Tango Down grip but if you've got big mitts I'd try the MIAD like they said. The TD is small even for me and my smallish hands. I'm going to try the MIAD on my next build.

what do you guys mean by ergo? The donut bottomed, hk style grip?
Thanks, Pete
Templar, I think you'd like the MAID grip.
I prefer either a standard grip or a Tango Down if I need to carry batteries for my EoTechs. On my guns with Aimpoints I run the standard, A2, style grip.
I find the MIAD the most comfortable, as do most shooters and officers I deal with. Aside from the MIAD, I am a big fan of the A2.

My 6721 middy with MIAD grip
After: LMT with Magpul MIAD grip
Before: My stock LMT when I first got it with factory TD Battlegrip
+1 with the Magpul MIAD grip, I have them on my carbines, they come with three size backstraps, the good thing with that is you could switch to a smaller backstrap when using gloves.
I got a TangoDown Battlegrip which was a factory issue on my LMT Defender 2000 lower but it's small for the size of my hand so I switched to MIAD.
My second favorite is the A1 because I got used to it with my first AR a SP-1, these days I just use Duck Bill grips on my two plain Jane ARs.
