    With everyone really starting to switch from a vertical grip to a magpul AFG I was wondering if you like the afg or afg2 better and why you run that particular one ...thx's....

    I actually see alot of people going away from the AFG ( I or II) and going back to either a VFG or nothing at all. For me, the AFG really limmits hand position in anything other than a standing position.

    I like Afg2 mainly because it doesn't block of your side rail spaces

    if you want to mount a light or something else that has a downward facing mount you wont be able to with AFG1. It also the two takes up less space on the bottom rail as well.

    This. Even posting on a wall or a table with an AFG on your rifle is hard because it essentially puts the rifle on one single point instead of spread out like a flat/round surface would. I am not a fan.

    I use an AFG-1 because it is what I have.

    It works for me, so I don't see a reason to switch to the AFG-2.

    Ditto. I've used VFGs and I prefer the AFG2. I don't find it limiting while shooting from unconventional positions as some others have found. Like most things with firearms, I think this is a really personal preference.

    i have an afg 1, and like it. had to stipple the shit out of it so it was easier to hold but other than that its gtg. no reason for me to switch from 1 to 2.

    Whether or not an AFG will work for a person is highly dependent on their arm geometry and where the AFG can be placed. For example, almost everyone finds the AFG to work poorly on 7" Handguard/rails.

    Exactly. Now once I moved my AFG to my DD Omega X 12" rail, it feels way better, as I can really get some purchase on it. And as already said, stippling helps alot with the grip.

    I had an AFG on a carbine length handguard and it was okay at first but it fell out of favor. I now use a VFG.
