Magpul k grip or BCM gunfighter?

Featured Replies

After my recent class I now know my rifle is too short for the grip angle I currently use.. My wrist kept turning down and started to hurt. I'm looking at these two grips but reviews say their kind of narrow. Anything else I should look at?

I think grips are like underwear. They are cheap enough, not all of them fit everyone the same, and you don't want to borrow your roommates.

 

Try a few different ones you can always unload them for a few bucks less to other people

I have both and prefer the BCM for completely unknown reasons.

 

Do you feel either is to "skinny"? Or do you have carny hands anyway?

I have hands like a 12 year old Swedish girl.

 

I have TD, BCM Mod 1, MOE, MOE-K, and MIAD (medium insert) grips. They all work, they all feel solid, but if I have my druthers I would have BCM on all rifles that I intend to shoot standing more than prone or seated.

 

It is completely subjective and I can't put my finger on exactly why.

 

BCM also has a Mod-3 which is a "fatter" version of the Mod 1.

I have tried several grips over the years, but find I am most comfortable with the BCM Mod 0. I have switched all of my AR's to this grip.

I'm partial to the MIAD grip. Great feel, nice storage especially with the rubber insert. Keeps extra round, batteries and I drill very fine holes in order to hold those dang thin hex wrenches for various optics and add-0ns...

Also, Magpul has this rubber grip.. MOE..., has a great feel that makes your grip feel really secured. Also if you shoot in wet climates... Here is the MOE...http://www.midwayusa.com/product/2319198047/magpul-moe-plus-pistol-grip-ar-15-rubber

I actually have the moe + now but I want one with a steeper grip angle.

i have the bcm mod 1 on 2 rifles.  i dont notice any issues.  i greatly prefer the grip angle and i have freakish size hands.  if you are worried get the mod 3.  

Hey Checko I just got my first BCM Mod 3. It has the more steeper angle, beavertail grip and the tab on the bottom that covers the gap between the triggerguard and handgrip. I really like it. It seems to be as wide as the Magpul MOE+. The plastic has very positive grip texture and fits nice and slip free.installs easy. If you want to check it out. Let me know...

This is the way I think I'm going.

I switched between dozen grips including the ones u listed ... ended up with ERGO Sure Grip on all of my rifles....

So I finally got the BCM Mod 2 in and installed. Little weird so far, feels like I have way to much finger on the trigger (with back strap #3) but I can instantly feel a better wrist angle and makes the gun feel easier to handle.

 

Stupid question but I should loctite the screw in yeah?

I use a small drop of Blue Loctite on everything - including grip screws - and I use a paint pen to put witness marks on everything I can see that needs to stay tight.

Loctite won't hurt. Is having more finger on the trigger common with a lower angle grip?

I totally agree with this. I like the feel of the Ergo grip better than any other grip I have used so far.

 

I know it wasn't included in your choices but for $20 bucks may as well give it a try you can always get rid of it if you don't like it.
