Looking for new grip. My lower came with a standard A2 style, but I dont like it. The gun is currently set up in a pistol format until my paperwork comes in for my SBR. I found a good deal on a Troy Battle grip, $10, but turns out its a little short and thin for me plus it rubbs my middle finger on the trigger guard a bit. I do like the more vertical angle of the grip versus the old school angle. Has anyone used the new steeper angle grips with SBR or regular AR's, do they do what the grips say or are intended? Who all is making them; Magpul, BCM, Umbrells Corp?

IMHO, Magpul K2 nails it. I hate the angled A2, and the K2 angle it like heaven for me (matches the angle of my AK Hogue grips).

I like Magpul's MIAD or MOE Grip or the LaRue APEG Grip

The sky is the limit on grips. Mako, Magpul,, Hogue, BCM, Tango, UTG and the list goes on. Just be advised that each grip gives a different feel. Some are very wide, some angle differently, some have finger grips, a few are adjustable.   As everyone's hands are different, it is impossible to say which grip is best for you  I prefer the stock A2 because it has a narrow grip but that's just my taste. Go to a store that has different grips in stock and see how they fit your hand.

I know the sky is the limit with standard AR grips, but I'm looking at the new steeper angle grips.

Who has first hand knowledge of with these grips and did you pick just one or go through a few?

I have fallen in love with the simplicity of the Magpul K grip. It's got a steeper grip angle.

I have the BCM, Umbrella Corp, and the new Magpul. All are good, but I like the new Magpul the best.

Looked around gun show today. Ended up with a Magpul K2, put it on rifle and love it, angle is so sweet.

I LOVE my K2. Sooooooo much more comfy than my ergo or BCM.

I pray\wish that they make one for the AK.

Tagged for more responses. The a2 grip causes fatigue way to quick because of the angle for me

I love my Magpul MIAD grip. Nice steep angle and you can change out front/back strap to suit the shape/size of your hand. My front strap is an A2 style, and the back is the medium profile strap.

I bought 2 K2 grips a month or so ago.

Put one on my Son's rifle and one on my home defense rifle.  Happy with them so far with limited use.

I like the K2 as well. The shape is perfection. I went back to the MOE plus for the rubber overmold. They really need a k2+. My life would be complete then.

I agree...That's the only reason I haven't switched out my remaining grips with the K2
