Quote HistoryQuoted: I'm not sure if it is or was an issue with the Magpul grip caps themselves (never happened to me personally) or if it was user error in not making sure that the grip caps were fully pushed up into place and clipped in, but I've heard of it happening more than a few times. I do know that the grip caps on older Magpul grips used to be pretty loose to where they'd rattle around kinda loosely in the grip. However, on the Magpul grips I've received over the last 5 or so years the grip caps no longer rattle... So Magpul has tightened things up in that area. Yeah I had an issue with older, pre Gen 1.1 MIAD storage cores dropping free at the range. That was quite some time ago, I’ve since swapped to BCM GFG Mod 3s and haven’t looked back. |

As your experience indicates it might have just been an issue with the older Magpul grips. I was never really a fan of the MIAD grip (not that it was a MIAD specific problem), I just preferred the configuration that basically made it into an MOE grip. So in the end it just made more sense to buy the MOE grip and call it a day... Less cost, no extra parts sitting in a bag in the parts bin to never be used and I believe the MOE to be the stronger of the two because it's just one molded piece. To each their own, but I've never really liked the more vertical angle grips as offered by BCM and many others that are all the rage nowadays... I'm always surprised at what catches on in the the world of the AR15. Kinda like the slimline keymod/m-lok handguards that have exploded in popularity. I can certainly appreciate the slim and lightweight aspects of those types of handguards, but they are worse for actually guarding your hands against heat and I can't get behind the more complicated and less sturdy mounting system that's more easily subject to installation error. Having said that, if I'm going to use a rail then it's going to be a quad rail and it's going to be a part of a monolithic upper. I've basically come full circle over the years and have even reverted to plain old plastic handguards on most things... Heck, even iron sights are making a big comeback for me.

My brother had it happen, but it's because there was so much shit crammed into the grip that the latch wasn't seated properly. I've never had it happen. |

I'm a fan of ergonomic palm swell grips with my favorite, at least of the AR grips I've tried, being the rigid polymer version of the Ergo Tactical Deluxe, which they don't make anymore (they made a wood version as well, that I'd really like to find). The rigid version fits my hand a little better (slightly different dimensions) plus it's not rubber. I'm not big on the Suregrip® rubber overmolding (or finger grooves for that matter but at least the finger grooves on the Ergo Tactical Deluxe fall reasonably well with my hands and aren't too obnoxiously deep). They do make a plug for it, if you want the storage capability.
I really like the LaRue A-PEG also. They're not quite as hand filling as the Ergo Tactical Deluxe but they are made out of rigid polymer which I prefer to rubber overmold grips and they're really comfortable. I'm trying out some MDT Elite grips (the wood and rubber overmolded versions) that I'm liking so far. It's a smidge smaller than the Ergo Tactical Deluxe with a slightly more vertical grip angle (and the Ergo is a little more vertical than the LaRue) and the rubber on the overmolded one is not quite as spongey as Ergo's Suregrip®. L-R: Larue A-PEG (rough texture), MDT Elite, Ergo Tactical Deluxe (Suregrip®) The Ergo pictured has had it's beavertail thinned (the beavertail thickness is one of the dimensions that is different between the ridged and the Suregrip® versions)  Attached File Attached File |

Quote HistoryQuoted: B5 Type 23 P-grip. I like 23 on SBRs/Pistols Ergo Tactical Deluxe on long range rifles. I like how filling it is. The Apeg is really cheap and works ok along with long length of pull stocks . I don’t like it on anything short since the grip feels to be really angled rearward For carbines- K2 or K2+, BCM mod 3 |

I have tried about everything and I always end up at a MIAD with large backstrap and flat front insert. Never any issue with the grip plugs falling out but the only thing I keep in there is a paper copy of form4 on SBR's.

I have their AK grip and it’s not bad. I may have to try their AR reduced angle grip. It’s hard to get away from Magul K2’s and BCM mod3’s for working rifles and Larue grips for bench rifles. |

Well, I'm an AR noob so I don't really get a vote, but one of the things I love about it is how well it fits my small hands. I'm new to the platform and used to shooting pistols. That reach to the trigger can be a bugger with some pistols so it was nice realizing the AR platform is so comfortable!
Having said all that, I also really like the single finger "groove" on the A2 grip. It doesn't seem super popular though as most folks replace the grip and most replacement grips forego the A2 finger groove. (Is there a better or more appropriate name for it?). If I do replace it, I'm debating between the Magpul SL and the K2+ with the rubber grippy. |

They had a problem with this back in 2017 or 2018. I had two fall out on me, as well as a friend who built up a rifle using one too. Only ever had it happen then. Magpul didn’t push back on it like they normally have for warranty stuff either. |

I've always loved the "esthetics" of the Tango Down BG-16 grip. Finally picked one up and that old school angle is just not for me... I know they make a more modern angle one, but I'm not really into the looks of it.
I like the newer textured B5 grip, but I wish it was a bit slimmer. BCM Mod 0 might be the answer for that. |

I also like the finger nub on A2 grips, but the shallower angle of modern grips is so much nicer that I don't miss it lol. Try a Magpul SL if you like thinner grips (like me). I just ordered one of those $10 AC Unity pdw style grips on a whim. I'll post my thoughts/comparison on it when it comes. ETA: not a fan of the AC Unity grip. It's pretty similar to a Magpul moe; maybe a bit thicker feeling, and it's not very grippy. |
