0 degree pistol grip

[Dildobaggins]

Started going to a range and shooting off the bench. I feel like I would benefit from a 0 degree grip to help with my consistency and so on. Does anyone know who makes one? Anyone have experience with them? How do they work for you, and do you like them?

Thanks fellas.

I have tried a bunch of grips. Ended up with the mdt elite grip. It’s adjustable in grip angle as well as forward and back. https://mdttac.com/mdt-vertical-grip-elite/

My second favorite is the penguin https://www.anarchyoutdoors.com/penguin-precision-rifle-grip/

Least favorite was the ergo https://xlrindustries.com/products/ergo-vertical-grip didn’t move my hand back far enough.

I have found running a 45 ambi safety works well for me to act as a thumb shelf. My current favorite is the Odin works https://www.joeboboutfitters.com/Odin-Works-AR-15-Ambidextrous-Modular-Safety-p/odin-acc-ams.htm

I threw the MDT on my AR10 build, looking forward to testing it out.

 

[Dildobaggins]

Obviously haven't used any of these, but I'd say the ergo would also be my least favorite. That MDT elite looks like the one I want. Looks beefy. Kind of want to replicate my keg bravo stock that has a rather large palm swell.

Here is a picture of my rifle and how i use the safety as a thumb shelf.

For reference I wear a xl or xxl glove so might not work great for small hands.

I run a krg bravo on my comp rifle as well. Similar “thickness” but different feel.

Another grip that may work for you is the Strike Industries Multi-Angle, adjusts from 35 to 10 degrees. I know that 10 is not 0 but you may find an angle that works better for you than 0.

 

[Baron85]

How thick is the strike industries grip? Looks interesting.

I checked out mdt. I like the thickness of the elite, but the premier has the thumbshelf. Now I'm at a cross roads. Haha

 

[Baron85]

I have tried the mdt premier on one of their chassis and personally didn’t like it. It was too thin and small for me.

Because of the irregular shape this is approximate numbers:

Widest side to side = 1.23"

Front to Back

Above base plate = 1.97"
Mid point = 1.85"
Closest to trigger guard = 1.65"

YMMV

I picked up a vertical crossover grip with thumb shelf from MKM. I like it better than the MDT Elite for an AR.

When did these start coming with a thumb shelf? News to me.

About 6-9 months ago I think. These are a better fit on an AR and the thumb shelf is pretty well sized IMO.

I’ve got one without the thumb shelf on my big gasser and the MDT on my smaller one, I’m inclined to agree. Can’t get a beaver tail AND a thumb self though it seems.

Here it is without the beaver tail on a 6ARC

I really like this grip too.

 

[KineticPerformance]

I've used (work and competition) some dozen SR-25 rifles and another dozen AR-15 rifle and never felt like I needed a completely vertical grip.

 

[Dildobaggins]

Think I'm going to try the MKmaching grip. Thanks for the suggestions all.

Another vote for MK…

Wish I could test this vs the MDT.

 

[Baron85]

My friend has the MKM with thumb shelf. It’s very nice but for me it’s very thin side to side and doesn’t move my hand back far enough. My friend has small hands and likes it better than my mdt. I think it will depend on hand size as to which one works best. Both are nice.

To be clear I haven’t shot with the MKM just played with it at his house for a few minutes.

MDT’s annual website meltdown is just around the corner and MK has a good return policy, try both.
