However, the position of any grip is only limited by the amount of space your handguard has.Īnother thing I noticed about the MVG is that the M-LOK setup seemed to be beefier while costing considerably less. As shown you are restricted to a fist like a grip. The location of the grip determines how the rifle can be held. Made of polymer and available in many colors, this grip mounts directly to the rifle’s rail. Magpul’s first entry on this list is very similar to the previous but is noticeably more rounded. Using a grip in this way increases the pressure on the shoulder, which makes reacquiring the desired sight alignment much easier.Īlso, it improves the position of the support arm, lowering stress on the wrist when compared to just the handguard. This particular way of holding the AR offers some unique recoil control. Pictured below is a variant of the broomstick grip, much like a ¾ grip where the handguard is held, using the grip for rearward force only. The grip juts out perpendicular to the barrel allowing for a firm hold and more pressure on the shoulder.
Measuring 3.25 inches tall and 2 inches wide it provides maximum grip while presenting a sleek profile. Elegantly designed with rounded edges to fit comfortably in the hand, this grip will feel natural to all but the largest shooters. This is the epitome of a vertical grip, made of durable polymer and available in different colors, and is compatible with M-LOK or Keymod. Lastly, special grips are a group that is home to some extreme examples of ingenuity to further the quest for complete recoil control and come in far too many forms to give a general description. Horizontal grips run more parallel to the barrel but still add substantial control and comfort. Grips in a vertical position are fairly common and consist of a peg sticking straight down off the bottom of the frame, thus earning it the nickname “broomstick” in military service all around the world. Arguably these are similar enough in function to list them together, but I feel that each is unique enough to deserve their own section, as well. Later in this article, I am going to discuss several subtypes of foregrip, namely the vertical, horizontal, and finally, special. It should be said that foregrips can also be used as a makeshift bipod by pressing it against a wall or barricade to further snug the rifle.

Whereas with a foregrip, you get full control of horizontal as well as vertical stabilization. When using your hand to clasp the bottom of the handguard you only have control of your grip in two directions. This is achieved through its very design. Having said this, when they are used in burst or full-auto, the added stability of a solid foregrip allows for more accurate placement of groups. 223 or 5.56 don’t have much of a kick, and most range shooting is done with time to reset before sending a second shot. It’s important to note that ARs that fire a. They are a place other than the frame to place your steadying hand and offer better, more centralized control.Īs I mentioned, foregrips are designed to help with control, specifically recoil control. However, at the core of it, all foregrips share a common purpose and general concept. The term foregrip actually describes a broad range of attachments, each that offer their own pros and cons. Foregrips can enhance the marksman’s overall experience. And while that style of shooting works fine, you can greatly improve your accuracy and stability with a foregrip. When firing an AR-15, most shooters simply cup or grasp the handguard along the bottom of the barrel.
