Default Need help choosing a Foregrip. Angled?

I am a noob to "tactical" style rifles. I have had my M&P 15-22 for several weeks. I have a PA M4 red dot on it but I do not have any other accessories yet.

I want to buy a foregrip but I do not know which one to get. I tried a few out at the LGS but it is hard to tell what feels the nicest without actually using it for awhile. I know it really is personal preference but I just can't decide.

I am open to suggestions BUT here are the ones I narrowed them down to.

If I do get a vertical grip, I will mostly hold it the thumb break style (is that the terminology).

Promag

Magpul AFG2

Tapco Shorty

At first I wanted the Magpul RVG. It just looked the nicest. Then when I compared it to the Tapco side by side, I kind of liked the Tapco. Then the store associate handed me a rifle with the AFG. Now I am just confused.

I am also cheap. If I spend $40 on something, I can't just through it in a box if I don't like it and buy something else.

I am a big fan of the Magpul AFG's I love mine.

There definitely not for everyone. I would suggest to try and find someone that has one on there rifle and actually try it out and see how it feels to you.

I was thinking that I could use a VFG as a "pistol" grip or similar to the AFG. VFG seems more versatile. I do like the look of the AFG, and the size of it.

It looks like the AFG grip is clearly winning the poll.

I could get it locally for $42 OTD or $33-34 online. Is it worth saving $9 and waiting a few days. I like getting things right away but there it is also enjoyable to get a package in the mail.

Yeah I have the RVG and I just bought a AFG2.
I'm having a hard time deciding which I like best.

I'm kind of leaning towards my RVG..its a little more comfortable on my hands when indexing/gripping the front of the rifle.

However, like the others said its all personal preference/hand size.
Try both styles out and see what you like.
If you go with an AFG get the Gen 2, takes up a lot less rail space and looks a little better then the first one.

Get one of each, try them all, pick the one you like; and sell the rest to us in the classifieds at 1/2 the price you paid (shipping included) -- PROBLEM SOLVED !!

Saw a Magpul AFG2 at a paintball store. Guy there said it is exactly the same one as the AFG2 used on "real" rifles. I wasn't sure about it but it looked legit. I read somewhere that there are actual accessories that say a big name like Magpul but are made for airsoft rifles.
