Okay, so I am putting together one of the smorgasbord LPK's and am down to the grip.  I would like a farily vertical grip angle.  Which do you prefer and why?

http://www.redbarnarmory.com/AR15-Grips-s/1818.htm

I am leaning toward the MOE K2 but open to others.

I use the K2 on pistol/SBR builds and the MOE+ on regular rifles...

Been using a Miad for 3 or 4 years now and tried a K2..didn't like it at all and sold it. The K2 was also too small for me and I don't have huge hands.

PS: I like the Glock grip angle over a 1911

Same here. I will add that the new gen 2 K2 feels much better in my hand than the original.

bcm gunfighter mod 0 or something or other, its the thicker version so it fills out your hand a little bit more than the standard one

This one on anything that is an SBR or a QCB type carbine. Its the most vertical I have found yet.

I am debating what grip to use on my pistol build and am looking at the k2 and umbrella corp 23 grip in fde, never used anything other then a moe and miad.

How is the UC grip as in size wise compared to a moe/k2 ?  A pic would be great.

this^^^^  I use bcm  mod 3  on all my builds also, a pic of the one I just put on my wife's build,  the stippling  gives you good grip and  no slip even in wet and muddy  conditions,  grip angle is excellent and thickness is just about perfect for medium hands imo

For a fairly vertical grip, you want either

1.) B5 systems grip
2.) Umbrella corp grip

Just picked up the BCM mod 3 for my fist build. I've had hands on and it's pretty comfy. The texture is great, I do agree with that.

I've tried a lot of grips and have yet to find anything that bests the plain MOE grip. There's a few out there I'm curious about (Jesse James skeleton grip, G10 grip, etc) but the MOE feels perfect.

I like the K2 for SBRs and the MIAD for larger guns.

bcm all the way imo, it does not look as cool as a moe style but it just feels right.

I run grip 23s.
The Color match is perfect to magpul. Thats a big deal to me.

$15 when on sale. Smooth finish. Win.

Thanks for that picture, i was also curious how good they matched..

Now to decide between this and the K2 for my pistol build..

As far as this umbrella grip and the moe's and other magpul grips how does it compare in thickness . like a pic from the back next to eachother?

The k2 is nice but the BCM mod 3 is on all of mine now but my SPR which has a umbrella on it.

Here is what a B5 systems grip looks like.

I haven't seen anyone mention the HK Battlegrip yet.  That is supposed to be a verticle style grip and one I would think is high quality.

And retardedly expensive, especially when you can get the BCM, which is pretty much a clone.

I just got a B5 Grip 23 (exactly the same as the Umbrella Corp) and I'm in love with it. It has a really nice round shape that fills the hand. I found the A2 grip and even the BCM mod 1 didn't give me nearly enough reach to the trigger. The Grip 23 puts the pad of my finger perfectly on the trigger, similar to the reach I get with my Glock 22 but possibly even a hair longer. Just to be clear though, the grip angle and shape are nothing like a Glock, I'm just trying to describe the reach. Its also cheap, which is nice. AIM has them for $19 and free shipping.

Deja Vu.  I too bought several different grips before I settled on one that suits me best.  It helps if you can go to a storefront and wrap your hands around multiple models, e.g., Rainier Arms in Auburn WA.  The main things to consider are: large hands or small, hard plastic or rubber, fairly vertical angle or more like the old A2.  In my case, I finally settled on the Ergo Tactical Deluxe - its big and fat, more vertical angle and rubbery like a Pachmayr grip.  In any event, be prepared for some trial and error.  At least grips typically cost less than $50, which is more than you can say for many of the triggers you haven't actually tried. - CW
