Preferred by client Had to find attachment parts
Excellent grip (Black from Hogue). Client specified this grip - has used this grip on other rifles and wishes to have the same throughout. Be clear that needed attachment bolt and lock washer are NOT included. Hard to understand why this quality item is incomplete.
Kinda want to chew on it.
Grip fit on several of my lowers, was ok but just a little to rubbery for me. I found that I prefer the Magpul rubber coated MOE+. There is nothing wrong with the Hogue, just my preference.
Great grip, but no hardware
One of the best grips I've ever used on an AR. Only complaint is that there wasn't any mounting hardware in the package.
May need trimming and/or drilling.
I am surprised some people reported having no issues with this grip rubbing the selector when so many others have had that exact problem. Dimensionally speaking almost everybody should have that problem as this grip is thicker than the standard A2 grip. While most people stated they trimmed the rubber off the grip to allow clearance, I opted to file the rear of the selector at a slight angle so that it could clear the grip but not interfere with appearance or the function of the selector stops. A quick touch up with some cold blue and everything looks factory fresh. I also had the problem with the pocket hole for the selector spring being too shallow. Sure, it was only about 1/16" but it caused enough extra compression on the selector spring to make flipping the selector a real bear. Using a spare A2 grip I had lying around I marked a drill bit at the proper depth and then drilled my Hogue to match. Now my selector snaps into place smooth as silk. Like everything I've ever seen that Hogue makes, this is a fine piece of craftsmanship. Just be aware that it may need a tweak or two to get it the way you want it. Also, I should mention: If you do need to trim the grip or selector do it right away and resist the urge to keep working the selector as it rubs the grip. The spot where it rubs seems to leave a permanent rub mark on the grip which is small, but kind of ugly. This isn't an issue if you just plan to trim the rubber off, but if you opt to recontour the selector instead you won't want to leave the traces of the ill fit behind for all to see.
Very Comfortable!
This is a great feeling grip. I also had to trim it with a razor in order to let the safety lever move freely on my m&p sport. No big deal, prefit it, mark it with a pencil and trim it to fit.
Minor fitting required for me.
Excellent grip & works well without fitting on a Colt AR-15. I purchased this grip for a Lewis Machine & Tool AR and the fire selector switch rubs against the top portion of the grip. It needed to be slightly trimmed on the inside in order for the proper clearance.
Quality Product
Easy to use, good control, feels like a rubber skin has been applied to factory A2 grip. Only complaint is position of finger ridges can rub fingers raw depending on finger size after extended shooting.
