Best Replacement Grip
I'm looking to replace the grip on my M&P 15. I am leaning toward the MagPul MOE grip but read where it is not a perfect fit for the rifle. What I read stated that there is a "gap" left where the grip meets the rifle. I don't want a full rubberized grip. Any help opinions would be greatly appriciated.

Just picked up the Hogue last week for my M&P15 and for my 15-22. HUGE improvement and perfect fit.

I have the Magpul for by M&P 15 Sport and it fits perfectly and is very comfortable. If you do'nt mind a little extra weight, I would suggest a quad rail with Magpul rail covers. That's what I have on mine right now and I like it alot.

I have the G27, I think it is by CAA now but it fits my hand, I have no use for storage in the grip but the beavertail fits and it is comfortable with out slippage.

I have the Ergo Suregrip, I like it but it makes the trigger to far away for me. I just ordered a BCM Gunfighter's Mod 0 grip, it's more vertical and has a shorter distance from the back to the trigger.

I just looked at the BCM Gunfighter Mod 0. I may be leaning more toward that one now. Looks like a nice grip and it provides a small storage compartment for a couple extra batteries.

Installed the Magpul MIAD and it fits nicely. Like the fact I can change the size and feel of the grip with the different front and back straps that it comes with

I have the US Palm Battlegrip which I first tried on an LEO pals duty M16. It fills the gap totally, has interior storage and is a bit fatter than the std. Also the design drives your hand up, higher for more positive feel.

Another Ergo Suregrip user. I like the feel and wanted a grip that didn't have well defined finger wells (those never fit my hand).

I like Ergo's because of the palm swell for my big paws, but I also wish they had storage compartment. So I have been using Magpul MOE.

Installed the Hogue grip from Amazon on my M&P and it works great and feels great too. Simple install as well, took about 5 minutes to swap it out.

I put the Magpul MOE grip on my Sport and I'm very happy with it. It is a perfect fit. The original grip was uncomfortable to me because the finger grooves didn't line up with where I wanted to grab the grip. I like the Magpul because it is a straight grip and allows you to put your fingers where you want.

I use a G27 grip, it fills out the hand better with a palm swell. This rifle wasnt issued to me so I dont have to keep it the way it came, but to each his own. If you are happy with the grip that came on then thats a plus you wont have to spend money on another, More Bullets!! LOL

Hi guys, what did you use to remove your grip? Looking down the access area I see a rounded fastener with what appears to be either a multi-pronged washer or the prongs are part of the fastener. I don't know what I need to remove this and replace the grip. It's not an allen type or star.
It's rounded on the periphery as well as a concave, smoothly rounded center. Before you tell me, it just occurred to me; it's some ridiculous BS Kalifornia thing! I hope I'm wrong. Thanks in advance for some help.

It was either an allen head or a torx head screw. Nothing fancy or exotic. I know I had the bit in one of my tool kits.

3/16ths hex wrench. Star is just a backing washer if you have that kind. The other I'm not sure.....

My mistake...it was an allen head. I took it where I bought it and the guy swapped the grip out for me...no charge! As it is, I didn't have an allen long enough anyway. Thanks again for thereply though.

Glad you got it worked out. I have a bunch of screwdriver sets that have allen and torx bits so I just loaded one onto a screwdriver handle to reach into the grip.

I've been looking to change out my grip as well and so far I like one of the MagPul MOE + grip w/the rubber overmold.
Also thought about a wood grip and came across this:
MacTec - Nill-Grips for Tactical Rifles
EXPENSIVE! But damn, they sure look nice!

+1 for MOE and I was pleased that the sales person told me there is now the MOE+ which is same grip but rubberized. I guess they did that to compete with the Hogue. I got the + and used it for the first time yesterday and was really pleased with it.

Ya, I thought they looked great until I saw the price as well. Damn. One of those sure would have looked fine on my new Sport, but not for the price or wait time.

Me I went with the Hogue:
http://www.amazon.com/Hogue-Rubber-A.../dp/B000H6C3P2
I'd call it an great value grip: good fit and finish, feels excellent in the hand. $17 and free shipping on orders over $25 from Amazon.

I've been going back and forth between the Magpul MOE+ and the BCM Gunfighter mod1. Anyone tried both? The grip that came with the sport just seems too thin for my hands(and I don't believe I have big hands) so I've been looking at these 2 on line. No LGS has either in stock to make a comparison. I've read the previous posts and they seem similar, but I like the idea of the angle on the BCM. Is the MOE+ similar or is it the same standard angle? Also the MOE+ has a rubber overmold, which I tend to think would have a more positive feel. Is the BCM similar or is it just the polymer hard plastic feel?

I put a Hogue on my M&P15 and like it very much. But on my M&P15-22 I ground down the front of the factory grip and used 3M anti-slip tape on the front. Gives a secure grip and works great on the 22.

MOE+. It's tackier than the MOE grip which I like. Highly recommended.

Couple of questions. Third pic down(view from the bottom): Is the thickness of that Ergo grip the same as the grip that comes with the sport? And I noticed that the Ergo had the beaver tail but your BCM does not(MOD 0). Any reason for the change in style? Does the grip on the BCM feel better because of no beaver tail?

Ergo and standard A2 grip
While the Ergo is very nice and comfortable it increased the distance from the back of the grip to the trigger. During long shooting sessions, I found myself bringing my whole hand around to pull the trigger. I have big hands but short fingers. I needed a grip that was comfortable but more vertical and a shorter distance to the trigger. The reason for more vertical is I try to shoot nose to charging handle so my stock is only out to click 3. The BCM Gunfighter's Mod 0 has fit the bill for me. I have not noticed not having the beaver tail.
