[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Question about the ergonomics of VFG's on the front of your rifle. specifically the ARMS Pistol grip

I dont have one and havent found the use for one yet, But I have noticed that no one seems to use VFG's like the ARMS quick detach pistol grip VFG.

Is it that a more verticle rounded style has better ergonomics and is easier to control the weapon from more angles.

Is the ARMS VGF less useful because its angle matches the pistol grip on the weapon?

It does seem as though virtually no one uses the ARMS VFG I never see it in any picture post.

The magwell works fine for me.

While I can appreciate that, it is nothing to do with the question, thanks for playing anyway. No door prize for you.

Here's mine.
I like it a lot, and I think the grip angle works for me.
The older versions used a cut-down pistol grip. This newer version uses an additional spacer and an original, unmodified grip to make the angle work. The A2 finger groove is a little strange, since I cannot bring my hand up to index my pointer finger at the top of the grip (Insight M3 prevents this). I've mounted mine about one or two slots farther forward than most VFGs that I've seen, but it works.

Also notice that the angle is somewhat less than the rear pistol grip.

I have the ARMS grip and I like it, works just fine for me.

I do tend to like the straight grips a little better though.

Love mine. I replaced the regular A2 grip with a stowaway grip.

I have large hands and the stowaway grip feels better to me.

I've got a round VFG and prefer it over the pistol grip. The're easier to get a comfortable grip on at different angles and easier to swivel the gun around by. The magwell or regular pistol grip can't do those things as well.
