I have noticed that people have spent thousands of dollars on their weapon, but still have the stock grip on it.  What gives??
I myself didn't give much thought to the grip, but once I changed it...WOW a whole world of difference.

It was the first thing I did, some folks must just like their A2 grips.

First time I picked up an AR15 while shopping for them I knew that I would be ditching the crappy A2 grip.   I think I've handled pencils that are wider in diameter than that A2 grip.


For target uses, I use the Sierra Precision Rifles grip and for general use I have the Ergo grip.

I changed out the grip on my Oly, I put an A2 on it!  I like the A2, it works, I've never dropped the rifle so I figure it's just fine.

Personally, I prefer a G27 on my Colt 6731...

I certainly have not tried them all, but I think the Hogue is darn hard to beat.

I like the A1 grip most of all, in second place i like the A2. I never got the feel of the Ergo Grip. I just never liked it.

For some reason I like the A2 grip best of all I've tried but I've never tried an Ergo grip.

Lots of people change the grip.  You arent paying attention!

Lots of people also like the stock A2.

For me, it's Hogue or nothing.

It's a very personal, individualized thing.  I love Hogue pistol grips (on pistols) and have several, but their AR grip just doesn't fit me.  I have small hands (6'3", 300#, huge feet, but tiny hands - go figure... [:D] ), and the Ergo grip is the most comfortable I've found so far.  I'm breaking in a couple of new BATTlegrips - comfortable so far, but the jury's still out (but I do like that battery compartment...).

I would never change my A2 grip!  If  it's good enough for the military, then it's good enough for me!

If you want a comfortable grip, hold your pee pee!

Another vote for the Hogue.[uzi]

1.  G27 grip
2.  Houge / Ergo grips tie
3.  A2 grip

I like the soft feel of the Houge but it does not space the trigger finger correctly and does not have the beavertail to let you get a high grip.  The Ergo has the beavertail but is too thin.  G27 is the perfect grip for me.  The only improvement would be a slightly softer material.  I have rarely seen a report of someone not liking the G27 once they try it.  Ergo and Houge are about 50/50.  If you have not tried a G27 grip you are doing yourself a disservice.

yipper,the first purchase i make is for hogue grips. A2 are too hard.IMO.

I originally had the A2 stock on mine, then bought the Ergo grip. Very comfortable. Then decided on wanting to have a suppressor on my post-ban so decided on the ATF legal vertical grip. (gogogadgets.net- not on website, have to email him for info) Just like ZM weapons grip only longer and more comfortable.

This was the first mod I made!

I put on a Pearce 1911 style grip. Black rubber type with finger grooves.

Of course, I am a dyed in the wool 1911 FREAK.

Dual Hogues on my M-4rgery. Another Hogue on my RRA Nationl Match A-2.

I like the A2 grip best.

I change 'em out so often I bought the long T-handle allen wrench set from Sears.  Hogues are my favorite, but the Pachmeyer (once you get past it's strange looks) is also very good.

It's also a flat-top so it's a double no-no [:)]

The standard PG was the FIRST thing to go, after I bought mine; I have long fingers, and I just can't get decent trigger control with the A1 or A2 grip.

Hogues on my ARs. Hogues panels and slip overs on my pistols. I think they have the perfect feel.

Four Ergo grips on three rigs!

my vote is for the ambi Ergo (cuz Hogue doesn't make anything in Coyote Brown and it's just too cool not to have....)

Hogue grips for me.

I prefer the A2.  The finger grips on the Hogue make it more difficult to grab in a hurry to me, and the others look like a silly revolver grip.

Depends on the gun, what grip I have. I have a JP laminated wood stock on one gun, that is used only for long distance shooting. I have TangoDown battle grips on the guns that are used for fun. I have Hogue on a couple of guns that fit between play toys and long distance rifles.

I have the Hogue on my M4gery, I really like the feel of it...funny, 'cos I have SMALL hands, but still like the feel of the Hogue.  I've got an Ergo grip, but I don't like it...it feels too long front to back, and too narrow side to side.  It's sitting in a drawer as we speak.  I'm about to order another Hogue grip I think...although with a couple of the other ones in the Brownell's catalog for less than $20, I'm tempted to try them.

I love the feel of the Hogue, but it is a little small in diameter near the top.  My wife thinks it the best thing since sliced bread, so it found a home on her carbine.  I just went with the G27 on all of my ar's.  I never tried the Ergo, but aside from that the G27 is the best I've used.
