I just picked up my Draco-C today, and can't wait to start changing it! The first thing I want to swap out is the grip. I am looking at the U.S. Palm and Magpul MIAD/MOE. Does anyone here have experience with both? I am leaning hard towards the U.S. Palm, but have heard some people say that it is a little uncomfortable. Let me know what you think.

I put a US Palm grip on my Draco "C" when I got it about a month ago.

I liked it so much I pulled the ERGO Classic AK grip off my SGL and replaced it with a US Palm too!

I'm a Hogue grip guy, but I will concede that I have not tried the US Palm grip yet. Their stuff is supposed to be top notch, I have just had no desire/need to change out my Hogue grips for anything else. I have an MOE grip on my AR and it's nothing to write home about, although still worlds of improvement over factory AR/AK grips.

Great, I'll give the U.S. Palm a shot. It's definitely the cheaper route. Now I need to figure out if I'm gonna go with an ACE stock or a Magpul like Gardner...

What about one of MD Arms' Molot clones?

My favorite AK grip.  (Well, I've technically never used one of the above, but my factory Izhmash grip is my favorite, and it's the exact same as the above grip, minus the finger grooves).  Just another option to think about, and it's only $12.  The US Palm grip is just an AK version of the Tando Down Battlegrip.  A nice grip, but not $30 nice, IMO.

I like the Hogue too.  Very comfortable & secure for me, which is key with an AK pistol.  Person tase.  No experience with the others.

I like the ATI grip.

I run the MOE's on my AR's but wanted to try the US Palm on My Draco.  I prefer it to the Ergo thats on my Maadi.  It is a touch bigger with a larger palm swell.  Give it a try.

I'm not a fan of rubber grips, so the Hogue is out, and I'm on the fence about finger-groove grips, so not sure about the Molot...

They're easily ground off.  When I get mine, I'll be grinding mine down, to match the grooveless style of the factory Izhmash.

I might give them a try as well, in that case.

Hogue without a doubt.  Most comfortable grips made.

Thank you! Awesome pair.

Thanks!

I should be sending in the Form 1 on the Draco to SBR it in the next couple weeks.  Then I have to decide which stock for it.  I'm leaning toward an ACE folding mechanism and the ACE 7.5 stock or one of their AR style adaptors and a Magpul MOE or VLTOR IMOD, but I'm not sure....

Same here, does anyone know the weight difference between the ace/MOE and the ace folder? I'm really leaning towards the ACE though.
