It's a good foregrip
Good foregrip, solid construction. Doesn't move once secured.
That being said, mlock is just a pain in the butt. If you can put it on a rail, just do that.
Comfortable in the hand
Its comfortable to use and provides a secure grip. My only complaint is that the screws to secure it to the guard are a bit annoying to access since the grip narrows at the top. If you have a long enough torque driver then its not an issue but mine was just barely too short to reach at the required angle so I had to improvise a bit.
Good grip, one flaw
I knocked one star off because you need an extra long hex wrench to install, which isn't included in the kit. Other than that minor annoyance, it's a solid vertical grip. Once you're able to get the hardware nice and tight, it sits solid on the rail and helps you secure the stock of the rifle in to your shoulder. Another solid Magpul product from Brownells
Good VFG, decent price
Good VFG for the price. Light weight and no novelty functions. Does what it does. I opted for the Magpul instead of the BCM (preferred) due to its slim shape and interaction with a Troy battle rail. I prefer the BCMs slight angle better, but it was too wide.
Good product
This is my first vertical grip and I'm glad I bought it. It seems to be a rock-solid material, it's light, and the rough texture provides for a good grip although it would be even better if the rough texture were all around and not just on the sides. I use it for the traditional vertical grip method and it fits my hand nicely. I wish it were a little longer, but it's good enough. After being tightened well, one of the mounting points moves side to side a little. I double-checked the installation and I don't believe this is an error on my part, but the movement is minor and not enough to affect its use.
Great Grip, needs long Allen wrench
Good, lightweight grip that will not change the balance on your long gun. Better than using a picatinny-based grip with a short picatinny rail mounted to an M-LOK slot, as there's no "gap" to potentially pinch a finger on a high grip during recoil. Note that a standard Allen key will not be long enough to reach the mounting screws from the bottom of the hollow grip. I had to buy a separate set of long Allen keys to mount this. For the price, I do think Magpul should include a long Allen key along with the grip and mounting screws.
Good for lightweight builds
A pain to install, it can and will damage poly handguards if one is not careful and tightens the screws too much. Lightweight, stable, and comfy though.
Good, If Limited, Option
The MLOK system allows for tighter drop-in handguards by letting you add or remove accessories without removing the guard. The system involves pairing screws with rectangular lock nuts set to a precise height (often found through trial and error) and inserting the complete assembly into the mounting slots. The two screws may share the same slot or bridge adjacent ones, offering flexibility on position. An allen wrench is then inserted through the bottom to actuate the screw heads and thereby turn the nuts about ninety degrees, hopefully clamping them to the interior plate and holding them as you continue tightening. Visual confirmation of nut position is important, but difficult in many positions. Once achieved, though, the mount is very tight and secure. The grip itself is somewhat narrower and arguably a touch shorter than its MOE forbear, and sports a rougher texture on the sides. The concave zone at the top is more pronounced, which combines with the narrower profile for a distinctly slimmer feel. I'd personally like to see a more "full-sized" version in the future, but for now this is the only MLOK vertical grip I can find. In any event, it works reasonably well for a variety of gripping styles, if not spectacularly for any one of them, so it's hard to complain.
