Small but amazing

Never have I been more excited and pleased about a $2 piece of rubber

Ergo The Gapper ✔️ A Must Have

This small device doesn't seem like much, but it does an awful lot. If you have a standard trigger guard and a standard grip, you need The Gapper, especially if you shoot without gloves. It installs easily, without having to remove your grip completely. I backed off my grip screw 3 turns, and didn't have to worry about any bits of the safety selector coming out.

Easy and keeps original look

I've used these before and they're always great. While I normally run Magpul or BCM furniture on ARs, I picked up a cool little braced semi-retro (ahem) pistol from PSA and wanted to keep the traditional A2 pistol grip. The Ergo Gapper makes the old A2 grip much more comfortable, and is a quick and easy install. Excellent upgrade for only a few bucks. Recommended!

An often-needed accessory

Fills the dreaded receiver-to-grip-gap well on most ARs. Easily "custom contoured" for guns with irregularly-shaped gaps. I wish it was available in a discount 6-pack for AR enthusiasts. Only one downside: It removes the option to lower the trigger guard for firing with mittens in cold weather (only affects certain users).

Must Have!

After buying my first AR15, I quickly noticed how that gap chews your finger. Not bad if you're wearing gloves, but I find gloves of any kind seriously hamper my coordination. Then I ran across this piece of shaped rubber. I did have to remove the grip to install it, but it was well worth it. I will have one on every AR15 that comes into my possession. Best 3.50 I ever spent.

Great investment for your AR-15

I've attended many rifle classes and by day two, you begin to see many students with their fingers bandaged up. When I see their middle finger bandage up, I know why. They have an AR-15 style rifle and do not have a gapper installed. I show them what a gapper is and they are amazed that something so simple can save them needless pain. I usually have a few extra gappers in my shooting bag to share with these poor unfortunate individuals.
