Quality cost but buy once and your done.
Love the Tango Down foregrips. Once installed them do not move or come loose. Have a side pocket for your light. Well thought out.
Perfect for clone build
Got this for my M4A1 Sopmodblock2 build... really hard to install if you dont remove the bottom section on the DD RIS II rail, but not impossible... you just have to use force.
Rock solid grip; worth every penny
After reading some of the mixed reviews,I was questioning whether or not I wanted to buy this grip. I took a chance and can't be happier with the grip. Well made and was able to install by myself onto a 4" section of Samson Evolution Rail. Tango Down also now provides "grip chips" to help in pulling down the tabs while installing the grip. Once mounted, the locking tabs popped into the rail grooves and I had ZERO movement or wiggle on my rail. Anyone that has Samson rails and was curious about this grip; it has a very snug fit.
awesome grip
This grip is solid, very nicely made. It is somewhat difficult to get on but definitely doable by yourself, and to get it off by yourself is really difficult in all honesty. Flimsy? No freaking way!!!!!!!!! If you're looking to mount it and leave it, this is great. If for some odd reason you want to take it on and off, get the qd model.
Solid grip, tight fit, but....
Solid grip, tight fit, but... Picatinny rail compatibility is spotty at best if your firearm has a unibody rail or one that's not proper MIL-SPEC rail. BUT if your able to use the recommended MIL-SPEC aluminum rail, it's rock solid. I currently have mine on a Tavor X95 and it needed a mallet to install, the fasteners clicked into place, used the fastener key to make sure the clip buttons were all the way extended into the rail slots. The grip is comfy and solid, though the X95 has more wiggle than you'd love, it's because the Tavor is nearly all polymer bullpup. Still awesomeness! All on all good grip, but just be careful if you order this thinking it's def going to fit. Have a back up thing to put it on of it doesn't
Solid but bulky
This grip can be tough to install unless you use the zipties to hold down the locking bars. Once on, it is very sturdy and could take a beating. It is however one of the larger grips on the market and hangs down quite low. The switch pocket will only fit older style surefire switches so make sure your switch will fit. Overall feels nice, but may be a little overkill for an AR15, and the limited switch fitment is frustrating.
Good product, but tough to put on
I recently purchased the BGV-MK46 battle grip and put it on my patrol rifle. So far it has been great other than the fact it was quite difficult to install, but once I got it in place there is absolutely no movement. It is in fact rock solid. Might have gone with the quick release model instead for ease of installing / removal and its ability to adjust to different sized rails if you're not sure if your rails are Mil-Std 1913 or not.
Not worthy
For the price, this item is not worth it. Difficult to install on a rail. Must grease the inside to attach to rail. Should only have cost $30.
dont like it
thing is huge and very wobbly once mounted. oh its solid and rugged but it has a ton of play on the rail. do not like the mounting system at all
"Too much whiz and not enough bang"
Def. not a bang for my [$], doesnt benefit from spring locks and when I called the company they said might be my rail, "not really" I mount all different kinds of forend grips no prob, I think the spring lock design is the problem. Def gonna use my 30 dollar polymer grip over this one, rock solid with that one.
