Tried The Bravo Co. AR15 Grip

[UltraT]

I just got the more vertical Bravo Company AR pistol grip Mod 2, the one with multiple inserts. I'm sending it back, I didn't think any of the inserts felt that great. I like a nice tight pocket for the web of my hand to tuck into, and this grip didn't have that. Also the thickness contour causes me to want to choke my hand up on the grip a lot, which is kinda strange. But I do like the more vertical angle, since I'm trying to run my AR with the adjustable stock set shorter for more compactness and better balance.

I guess I'll keep looking. Any recommendations?

I haven't seen one in person but I think some people here have tried it.

That's a nice idea for a featureless build, but I have a fixed mag so I'm looking for a true pistol grip.

AHH My bad! I've never upgraded beyond a stock pistol grip. So I can't help you out there.

Yeah that's what I was going to try next. Magpul is always top notch.

Everyone's hand is different, there are also different shooting techniques and preferences. Try different ones and see what feels best. That said, standard A2 or A1 grips should be sufficient for most shooters. Mil. spec. parts are not just pulled out of a hat, they are developed to fit the majority of users.

Yeah I don't mind the standard grips, but they're not as comfortable when I run the stock with a short LoP.

I'm just looking for some other grip ideas. Who makes some of the more vertical grips, Magpul, Bravo Co., HKParts, others?

Yeah I don't mi, but the material is available from home centernd the standard grips, but they're not as comfortable when I run the stock with a short LoP.

If the length of pull is not right, no grip will fix that. With proper LoP the stock is pulled into the shoulder without much effort, you are not muscling the rifle. If you must use short length stock, that's what you will have to sacrifice. I don't think more vertical grip is going to help you.
You can experiment by adding material to the upper back of the grip. A lot of pistol shooters build up their grips to fit their hands. There is temporary material and permanent material. I don't remember exactly what they use, it's something you can buy at Home Depot.

OP has an AR pistol which generally has a very short lop.

I didn't consider that. He can still build up a pistol grip into whichever shape he wants by cutting and sculpting epoxy type of material. It is somewhat time consuming and will look ugly, but if the fit matters people do that.

Umm, no its just a standard AR with a telescoping stock. Don't know where you got that from.

I'm not talking about right or wrong lop. I'm saying I want to use the AR with a shorter lop, I feel it has better balance in that length. The only problem with using a short LoP, is that the standard pistol grip angle makes me have to crank my wrist forward too much and it's uncomfortable. A steeper angle should fix this.

My fault, thinking of wrong person.

So I got the Magpul K2+. I like it much better than the Bravo Co. one, just based on the shape. There's a bit of a hump on the back, below where the pocket for your hand web is, which isn't ideal but I think I can get over that. Good enough for me.

I have one of these:

HIPERGRIP TL

Not sure how i like it yet. Nothing wring with it.....it is just different so i am getting used to it.

The grip seems great......teaching the safety to turn it on is challenging.....but turning it off is fine. Again, just something new to get used to.

That one looks good, nice shape.
