Replaced my moe handguards with a  dd omega 7.0  rail this weekend now I'm trying to decide should I go with a vfg avg handstop or nothing.  

And before someone cries my oal is 27 inches so vfgs are good to go

I prefer the AFG so it remains a pistol.

i was all vfg until i ran my carbine through a class, as the instructor pointed out most of use don't use the vfg under stress, i use the c-clamp with my index finger pointing forward, by far my favorite grip
under rapid fire, it is the best for managing recoil
afg is just too small for my hands,
BUT its all truly preference
i tried them all and found what i like,

I personally use a stubby foregrip as a handstop.

I like the feel of a afg, but hate the look.

I was using a magpul mvg but I was entertaining the idea of something else.  I might pick up the xtm hand stop today only 18bucks and try it

I'll be using the Magpul XTM hand stop kit on my pistol build, the AFG just looks too bulky and I want to keep my pistol build as slim line as possible.

I found that by using the AFG, I was putting undue stress on my support side.  I was pulling the gun into my shoulder too hard.  I have big hands and I felt like I was still trying to manhandle it.  The natural feel of holding the hand guard/rail is indeed...natural.  Therefore, I went with the handstop kit.  I haven't looked back since.  My support side is more relaxed and the position of my handstop is muscle memory and feels natural.  BTW, I have the handstop in the same position for each of my ARs.
