Lets face it when building a AR the stock A2 leaves alot to be desired its cheap plastic is uncomfortable slick and not really ergonomic. The first pistol grip was born on the Lesoinne Et Pirlot Fils, Liege, a rifled .69 caliber percussion fired single-shot carbine made in 1840. It is believed that the designer added the pistol grip because it gave the user more control. There is nothing worse in shooting than having to constantly adjust while trying to make use of the grip. Luckily, The grip is easily replaced and most are relatively affordable! Heres a few options to address those issues!
Advanced Tactical Grip from Hexmag-Black
The new Advanced Tactical Grip from Hexmag is the latest AR-15 accessory to hit the market. This pistol grip features Hexmag’s signature hexagonal pattern for superior grip but can also be outfitted with Hexmag’s Grip Tape. The Advanced Tactical Grip goes beyond style and great looks, it features X-Tech tactical’s patented 3 position adjustment so it can be set at 17,25, and 33 degrees. If you have a short barreled rifle or a pistol you can set the grip at 17 degrees if you are maneuvering in tight spaces. If you have a regular carbine length AR you can set it at 25 degrees, or if you need a more relaxed position that is set further back you can set it to 33 degrees. This is all done by loosening the screw a few turns with the supplied Allen wrench and resetting the grip on the mount to your desired angle.
