on an ar pistol, I know you can't have a vertical forward grip, but I believe you can have something with an angled notch, have been searching for pics, but hard to do on phone.
first, is the angled grip legal ( right?)
and what is it called, otherwise you'd think the forward pic rails might cheese grater your supt hand
I don't have one, but I had a chance to handle one at a gun shop in KY last weekend. I wasn't sure how I would feel about it, so I really wanted to handle one.
One thing I didn't care for was that with it strapped to your arm the pistol is forced to stay parallel with your arm so you there are limitations to how you can handle the gun to shoot it. It would work fine with a bullseye shooting stance for example, but forget an isosceles style.
I can neither confirm nor deny that the Sig pistol brace feels really awsome when used improperly and shouldered.
The angled grips like the Magpul grip that raven posted the pic of are legal on an AR pistol. BATF considers them to be hand stops not vertical grips. I saw the BATF letter that stated so posted on another forum. I have not found any 'dedicated' AR pistol angled grips. That doesn't mean they don't exist but the Magpul and FAB Defense grips are both perfectly legal to use. Keep in mind that some libtard state laws that do allow the AR pistols may consider the grips to be illegal. Not so here in Idaho though. You should be fine in Fl. also.
My friend was shooting his AR pistol yesterday. I noticed that he had one of those angled grips on it. I meant to ask him about it and to ask him to allow me to shoot it, but just never did. Next time!!
I think an AR pistol in .300 ACC would make an absolutely excellent home defense gun especially with a light on it. In our home if someone comes in they would come in through the kitchen or the living room. Granted the dogs will go off like fireworks, but the only light switch available would be the one in the bedroom. Not good. We'd be lit up but the intruders would be in the dark. So, leave the lights off, light them up with a surefire and put them down is the only way to go. I have to think more about the right caliber though because what I don't want are bullets passing through the target since the range is only likely to be 20 ft or less. Don't want bullets passing through and punching holes in the refrigerator for instance. The lower muzzle velocity of the .300 BLK at a little bit over 2,000 FPS from a 9" barrel should pretty much keep the bullet inside the target though. The 5.56 would have about 25% more muzzle velocity.
