    Default I hate angled grips

    I used to have a Magpul AFG on one of my ARs years ago, recently bought an angled grip made specifically for the Grand Power Stribog and don't care for either of them. Am I alone? I see sooooo many pictures of people's guns with these damn angled grips and I don't know if it's because people actually like them or they see a bare rail and need to spend money. The thumb over bore grip with no angle feels so much more comfortable and natural to me.

    you hate afgs, yet bought one?

    yes...they suck. c grip works much better.

    Some are ok.

    I like the one that your pointer finger wraps around the fron and it has a second attachment that goes on the side rail that acts as a thumb hook/rest

    I am toying around with the BCM offering on a 11.5” up now and I’m not really feeling it but I haven’t shot it yet. Basically another FU to the NFA on giant pistols that are really short rifles with braces that are really stocks.

    None of it is great but it all works.

    the psa I just picked up has a magpul attachment for c gripping. not sure if it's staying or not at this point. there are a crapload of what amounts to a curved wedge to act as a handstop for such purposes.

    the afg was a bad idea thati swear almost everyone wanted, because it was magpul.

    The FAB defense PTK set I think? Yeah, I had one of those on a 590 with a railed forend. It felt nice but I never liked the aesthetics of those and prefer the natural grip angle.

    Thats the one!

    I like the holding feel of it, but never fired anything using it.

    they are good for not shooting your fingers off on a ar pistol.

    It's a personal preference thing. I was comfortable with my Colt carbine hand-guards. But when I went to a slimmer M-Lok rail, I tried the bare rail, a M-Lok AFG, and a VFG. The AFG worked the best for me.

    It seems like VFG's are in vogue right now based on AR image threads.
