My new left hand MPA PMR Pro has the cool Enhanced Vertical Grip (EVG). It is designed for a right hand shooter though. The grip can be shot left handed, but in my opinion, it isn't ideal.

MPA does offer an accessory that adds the thumb rest to the left side of the grip. It is a $25.00 option and it looks like it would make the grip truly ambidextrous. Are there any left hand MPA owners who have installed and used this?

Another option, among others, may be to use the MDT vertical grip that I believe will fit. Is anyone using this grip on an MPA?

Thanks!

Yes, the printed LH attachment works well, it snaps into the holes ahead of the grip and has thin adhesive on the back. You may have to sand down some edges before final install. I use one on my centerfire match rifle, 2 seasons without issue so far. To me, the MPA design fits like a glove.
The MDT grip works, but feels off to me with its downward taper, and is heavy, but many like it.
My present favorite is the ERGO Vertical--it fits seamless with the thumb scallops on the MPA BA Comp and allows a good thumb wrap or float choice, light and sturdy, true vertical. They do have palmswells, which some don't like, but for me they assist my index. I like the grippy coating.
I got a few to replace my older True-LH MPA 3d Printed grips when they fail, which were prone to cracking @ the bolt attachment point, and they're not made anymore.
Another good choice is the Anarchy Outdoors vertical with thumbshelf, but it's not an easy grip to use ambi like the ERGO.
YMMV, etc. all in all, it's a great time to be a LH shooter. :cool: :coffee: :coffee:

Do you have a picture of the MPA with the ergo grip? I’ve been thinking of trying it but wondered how it would interface with the thumb scallops.
 
I don't have an MPA, but I run the Ergo zero angle grip on a different chassis. It's my favourite of the few that I've tried.

I like that the MDT vertical grips are adjustable front to rear to really get your finger in the perfect spot - if the Ergo did this I'd be even more enthusiastic about recommending it. I haven't tried the newest MDT option; it might be worth checking out.
 
Thanks for all the good options. I think I am going to give the MPA left hand adapter a shot as the cost is low. If that doesn't work out, I will take a closer look at the Ergo or MK.
