    Default AK grip comparison

    AS I ponder which 922r compliant grip to purchase, I am faced with three obvious choices: Hogue, MAKO, and the US Palm. Plenty of experience here. Sound off with opinions for/against and pics please, including any other options other than the above.

    I like how the houge grip feels in my hand.Not to oversized nor to thin like some of the grips that came stock on the ak.
    I never tried the others..

    Personally I like the MD Arms Molot style grip.

    Molot compared to the Tapco Saw grip.

    Link to Classic Arms as MD Arms seems to have disappeared. Lots of rumors abound about this but that is for another thread.

    +1 for the Hogue, don't get the hogue handguard, it was way lose on my rifle, but the grips are great, every AK I own has one. On second though, the hogue handguard is awesome! I happen to have one for sale :P

    My two cents goes to the US Palm. I just switched to it from the standard grip and needless to say there is a HUGE improvement.

    My Saiga came with one of those Molot grips and it's awful unless you have sausage fingers. I'm looking real hard at the US Palm grip; it looks a lot like the Tango Down AR grip, which has always worked really well for me.

    EDITED TO ADD: Well, duh, TD and US Palm are the same company.

    I just bought two US Palms and I really like how they feel in the hand. I originally thought their texture was supposed to be like the Hogue's and was initially disappointed, but after shooting the rifles, I like the firmness and grip angle of them quite a bit.
