I really like the Short grip. Should match my FORTIS Rev rail beautifully. [Beer]
Rainier Arms gets them first!
(Yeah I know I originally misspelled "Manufacturing" I corrected, but mods have to fix the title.)

The short one is pretty cool. Might fit my style rather well.
I have one on the way to replace the AFG I sold. I will let you "touch it" and "feel" how fits in your hand if want Ray, to see if you want one that is. [Coffee]Quote:

Yeah, I really like it, for now. :)

That thing is oogly.
The full vertical I am not too impressed with, but the short hand stop reminds me more of a tweaked, smaller, more defined AFG.Quote:

Yeah that one isn't bad. I wonder what weight is compared to a Magpul hand stop.Quote:

I like the REV rail, others that are straight Keymod all look the same. I actually dont even use the keymod part, tried the keymod covers but didn't make a difference really.Quote:

The MAGPUL AFG is 2.92 oz, AFG2 is 2.53 oz, and the XTM Hand stop kit has no listing for weight, but considering it is 3 1/2 XTM panels with some extra material probably lighter than the Shift.
I like to use the forward type grip to pull the rifle in tight to my shoulder. The Magpul AFG doesn't work well for me because I find the angle a bit funky and it is kind of difficult for me to get a good pull on it. I usually just run a standard vertical grip. I'd definitely like to see one of these in person as I think having that little hook part might work well for me.
Here is how I do it for now until something better comes along.

Wow, memories, that was your last years AR variant, what 3-4 AR's ago. [Coffee]Quote:

That is a proven method though, in fact the AR I put together for the wife has a RVG on it and showing her that method. I am just not a fan of the hanging down vertical grip, tempted to do the Kwando and cut the RVG so it was stubby. Not saying Kwando has a stubby either, so no one go there.
Although I never had a prob with the AFG, it was the closet form I could find that met what I liked.
Why I am interested in how this SHIFT grip thingy feels.
Here is a good shot of how the short grip will look with a HAND on it.

I got my "SHIFT" short grip in today.
Very cool, like much very, .............. not sure if it is worth the $60, but to be one of the first adopters gotta say very small, matches my FORTIS REV Rail, and perfectly ergonomic.
Will do a quick review in the other section later with pics.
Can I touch it sometime?
