Magpul Grips

Magpul makes grips for several platforms: the AR-15, SR25, M110, and AK/AKM. These include pistol grips and fore grips, as well as specialized grip cores with storage space for lube or batteries.

Magpul: Accessories That Mean Business

Magpul has been around since 1999, and it has been making fine products for shooters everywhere. Ever since the release of its first product, the original Magpul, this company has been in the accessory business, and has been doing great work.

A rifle has four main contact points with the human body: the shoulder, the cheek, the right hand, and the left hand. A rifle’s pistol grip is one of the hand contact points, and it is one of the most important ones, because it is the point from which the trigger is pulled.

The pistol grips which Magpul makes are one-piece, ergonomic, textured, and made of high-quality polymer. Their construction is what makes them so affordable, without compromising their durability and functionality in any environment or condition.

Non-Slip Grips

When training, and certainly during actual combat situations, our hands may be shaking, dirty, wet, or simply freezing and nearly immobile. It is precisely at these times that Magpul grips really stand out. The Magpul grips are non-slip, and their shape and design help the shooter’s hand stay firmly on the weapon.

Some grips, like the classic MOE grip, retain the original shape of their factory counterpart. Others, like the MOE-K2 and its variants, are differently angled. They are designed specifically for self-defense and improved comfort, for those who want a more minimal pistol grip. Some grips have a beavertail, and others do not. Some are thicker, others are thinner. Magpul invests a lot in its items, and it produces different versions, in order to reach a wider circle of shooters.

The MOE+ grips are unique. They are made with reinforced polymer, but are also covered with a rubberized coating. The base is still all polymer, but the rubber adds a little bit of a soft feel to the grip. Softness notwithstanding, the MOE+ manages to retain the toughness and durability which are the common base of all Magpul grips. The rubberized surface helps the hand stay on the weapon, in any kind of condition, and that means that the shooter will be able to grab the weapon with even greater confidence.

Won’t Let You Down
