i dunno how to make it a poll, but why do you use the pistol grip you do?
magpul moe magpul miad stark se-1 tangodown battlegrip ergo variants standard other also, i'm looking for recommendations for small hands (fiance) thanks, |
|
I actually like the Hogue, but prefer the MIAD because I can custom fit it to my hand and I like the storage.
|
|
my wife has found the TD battlegrip to be the most comfortable in her hands.
she has one on both of her AR's. |
|
how about the Troy CGB? anyone who has one like to comment on it?
|
|
I like the Ergo Sure grip. It just seems to fit in my hand the best. I have one on both of my lowers.

|
Standard A1 and standard A2 grips are all I use. They feel perfect for me.
|
|
I am running Miads on my carbines (I wish it was a little larger)
SPR- sierra precision grip (once again, I wish it was a little thicker) My GF likes the Hogue grips. |
|
I prefer the MOE for the simplicity, storage, and it just fits my hand perfectly.
|
|
MIAD fits my big hands with the tall backstrap
Larger Ergo variants are nice too though... I've got one of those two on all my AR's except for one with a MOE. |
|
Had MIAD grips on all my rifles until I got my first LMT with an Ergo-grip....
Ergo on everything now - The material is "grippy" without being "tacky". Good length with feeling like something is missing off the bottom ... |

Don't get me wrong, it's a little more ergonomic. But that's basically what it is. Or if you have small hands. I do not, but it's passable even if you don't. Just not as good as a MIAD for me. I take my MIAD with a medium backstrap and winterguard. Squeezed, not shaken or stirred. |

I wear large size gloves and here's what I'm currently using on my rifles and carbines:
MIAD - no finger nub on the front strap and medium size rear strap all on my 5.56 carbines MOE - slightly smaller for me but works OK it's on my 9mm carbine A2 - I don't prefer the finger nub but it's the correct grip for my A2 clone rifle What I had before: DuckBill - same size as the A1 but have an extension to cover the gap between the trigger guard and grip TangoDown Battlegrip - was a factory supplied grip on one of my lower, too small for my hands A1 - this was the grip I learned with my first AR SP1, it's a small grip but one of my favorites For shooters with small hands I would recommend the A1, DuckBill, and TD. |
|
Ergo is thin enough to wear with or without gloves. Length wise fits the bill. As far as material - the rubber is "grippy - without being "tacky" |
|
The stock trigger does not have nearly enough trigger reach for me. I have a MOE, MIAD and Ergo Tactical. They all work well. I probably prefer the MOE.
|
|
The Hogue fits me like a glove. I've only really tried the standard grip and the Hogue though.
|
|
I have tried many of them throughout the years and my favorites are the rubber Ergo and MIAD with the largest backstrap and not finger grooves. I like the rubber Ergo because of its grip and its finger grooves are not too pronounced. The MIAD I like for my precision rifle because it fills my hand better when shooting prone off a bipod.

I had a new gen ERGO on my 308 rifle, but the plug kept coming out with recoil,
so I put a MIAD on that rifle. I liked the MIAD so much with the large backstrap that I put one on my go-to AR-15. The other three have ERGO grips though. The main weak point on most grips is the core and/or plug in the bottom. Either too easy to pop out, or impossible to pop out. or requires a tool. The MIAD has a rough texture and is hard plastic, but the core is easy to remove but won't just pop out. The different cores are cool too. I wish the ERGOs had a more secure plug. I have tried so many different ones and the MIAD is the best compromise. |

I agree, but I have a Magpul MOE on a PSA complete lower I purchased a few months back. I don't think I'll replace it. |

standard. it just feels right to me. Yep. Plus it comes on the gun already... or in the LPK!! |
|
Quoted: Magpul MOEs and ERGOs For me as well. I have Ergos on all but a few of my ARs, and MOEs on a couple. Small hands, FWIW. (Freakishly so, given how big I am in general. ) |
|
I use the MIAD I have large hands and my wife the MOE+you get storage.
|

Ergo Ambi Suregrip (#4005)
Has a compartment for battery storage, but more importantly it fits like a glove with a little bit of give. Wont be buying any other pistol grip for any future build. |
|
I tried a MAID once and liked it.
I use A2 because it is required for the competitions I shoot. |
|
Ergo grip.
It is much slimmer, and fits my hands better. You know what the say about small hands... |
|
2 Ergo's and a SPR
SPR on my scoped rifle. Ergos because they feel so right. |
|
I prefer the ones that help lower your grip some like MOE Miad or Stark, so trigger finger lines up with trigger more like the rest of my guns.
I have not decided on a favorite yet. have one waiting for me to make a decision on that to try next. Darn personal preference gotta love it. |
|
A2 w/ the finger shelf shaved off on my carbine and Stark SE-1 on my scoped rifle. The stark is extremely ergonomic, placing the hand at the right angle and distance from trigger (for me). I am curious about the Sierra Precision SPR grip.. might give one a try.
I wish I could find something like the MIAD but with the Stark (1911) grip angle. |
|
Ergo. Fits my hand the best compared to the A2, Hogue, and MIAD. I love the look and storage of the MIAD, but the Ergo is defintly the best for me
|
|
TD BattkeGrip. I hate the nub on the A2 because I hold the pistolgrip with a high tang grip. My middle finger ends up on top of it and it hurts. The TD also has a little extension at the top that blocks off a part of the trigger guard that also hurts my hand when using the A2 grip. The MOE is okay, but you need an aftermarket trigger guard. I haven't really tried anything else.
|
|
Ergo with the suregrip texture, im right handed so i always buy the right handed versions, the thumb rest is great.
Ergo on all my ARs plus they are lighter than the standard grip |
|
Ok, you all like ERGOs, and I do too actually...
I wish the MIAD would buy the ERGO a drink and bang the hell out of it. |

The MOE is the best grip I've felt, much better than the A2 grip.

magpul miad
The grip in the lpk sucked bad...inless I wanted to pull the trigger with the side of my finger. The MIAD with the larger parts fits as a grip should. |

Small hands -Tango Down
My wife is petite & has small hands and loves hers over all others (I would like her to try that Troy though as it looks pretty good for smaller hands as well) |
|
small hands = troy grip, although hogue is comfortable as well.
