#Afg

I saw this in a local store. When I mentioned who I write for, he said: “you may be interested in this”. It is a custom AFVG. That is not what he calls it, that is just what I called it. It is a hybrid of an angled foregrip and vertical grip.

Those who have seen me shoot know that I am not a personal user of the “Chris Costa” C-Clamp grip. For my body structure, it just doesn’t feel comfortable. Instead, I (like many other shooters I watch and know) opt for a similar, albeit modified grip there the support hand thumb rests alongside the rifle forearm. Strictly ergonomically speaking, this is inferior for weapons control – with the thumb over the handguard, I have nearly 360 degree grip versus about 270 and with the weapon wanting to rise vertically, the thumb-over grip has the tiny advantage.

Earlier this year we posted about an ammo vending machine in a private gun club. Well Mike Robinson of Tactical Graphics purchased a crane/claw game for his gun store. Instead of toys and plush animals, he lined the bottom with empty brass and filled it with Magpul accessories.

Jerking the Trigger has an excellent picture showcasing the differences between the various generations and configurations of the MagPul Angled Fore-Grip (AFG). Interestingly, they keep getting smaller across the generations.

[ I am pleased to present this review of the new Magpul AFG (Angled ForeGrip). The review was written by Isaac. ]

The AFG (Angled ForeGrip) is a new forgrip from Magpul that will go on sale later this month. They claim it allows a more natural hold than a vertical foregrip.
