Thread: Normal Horizontal Stock vs Vertical Forward Pistol Grip vs Angled Forward Grip?

What do you guys like more? What are the advantages and disadvantages of each? I currently run a vertical forward grip on a Romy G, and I like it, but just looking to get some of the opinions out there on each. Thanks guys.

I like my grip-pod.

I use my wifes shoulder as a mono pod

hmmm interesting, spider. Do u have a diagram or picture of how that would work?

Just a joke related to Israeli armed tactics, it showed two females, facing each other, one then shoulders her m4, then rests the handguard in the pocket where your neck and shoulder meets on either side on the opposite woman. But an honest answer to your inquire would be a hand stop, I used to like the stubby vertical grips and bi-pods, but I never really held onto them like a baseball bat, I just use it as a reference point of where I'd be comfortable of holding my foregrip. Then one day I fondled a rifle built by mike from custom firearm stands, it had a handstop made by gear sector. I could move my hands from gripping the magwell to my railed foregrip very quickly and slide my left hand to the perfect position. Also one day I was doing prone drills and my front vertical grip got all types of tangled up in my sling. So check out the hand stop made by gear sector, you just need a railed bottom end to attach it to.

I have been using a vertical grip using the Magpul Dynamics method, with my little finger wrapped around the grip moving to my index finger wrapped around the rail and then my thumb placed pointing forward as high above the bore as I can place it. I have liked this but wondered about the AFG. I was able to shoot a rifle with an AFG a couple of weeks ago and really liked but I found an issue. I have a DD 7" rail on my rifle and I think that the AFG really belongs on a full length rail. For me, I think an AFG would be too close in and I think I need to move to a longer rail before I move to an AFG.

hand stop is my choice also, it feels more natural and provides a return to position that doesn't vary. Also very unlikely to become entangled in sling or other gear.
