The AFG's are a cool idea but it's totally up to you if you like them. Almost everyone I know who have tried them took them off pretty quick. They take up a lot of space and, to them and myself, didn't feel as good as the regular hand guard. The two exceptions were owners of an AR and AK pistols. Since the vertical foregrips aren't allowed it was a good and legal (according to the California DOJ at the time) alternative. So just try one and sell it if you don't like it. Easy.
