Pistol Grips on the 15-22

[fullmetal1911]

I went with the Tango Down Battlegrip myself. Install was simple and I am a fan of adding storage to a rifle. Plus I am not a fan of finger grooves or ledges so the swooped design of the grip was perfect and feels great in my hand while I'm shooting.

I have always liked Pachmayr grips for my guns, but for this one I went with Tac Star. Tac Star and Pachmayr are owned by the same company, their advertising suggests that they are now sharing designs. This Tac Star set feels as good as some of my Pachmayr's on other guns, but was about half the price. Huge improvement over stock.

This pic shows a Pachmayr on the Mossberg, and Tac Star front and rear grips on the 15-22.

Magpul makes a spacer that will fill the gap. Its purely cosmetic though. Here's a pic of mine with the MOE grip without the spacer. I'm not sure how well you can see the gap in this pic but its not really that noticable. There are some good videos on youtube that will walk you through the steps of changing your grip if you still need help with that.

My PC model had a Hogue grip on it. It was ok but not near as good as the Ergo I replaced it with. The Ergo is softer but not flexing and sticks to your hand regardless of sweat on your hands. Also tried the Ergo overmolded w/palmshelf that is going on my 3-gun AR and I liked that a lot but put the regular Ergo back on the AR15-22.

MOE+ here (in foliage green).

Loved the MOE I had previously, but also liked the feel of the Hogue that was on the Ruger SR22 at my gun club. The MOE+ is a great combination of both, and the original MOE is now on the 'Bay...

Thanks for this thread

I installed my MAID and the spring dropped. 20 min later of stuffing, super glue, filing flat the MAID works fine.

Had a Houge, was ok, wanted the MAID because that is what I have on my M&P Sport. MAID has great inserts for things like 123 batteries.

Photoracer, clean out your inbox. Have some Q's for you.
Got my G trigger today.
Sorry to interrupt the thread here, carry on. Nothing to see here.

I put a Hogue grip on my 15-22 and it fit like it was suppose to, and it fits my hand perfect!

I agree, I just put one on mine and really like the feel of it vs the stock grip. But I must admit, if I had not read the thread about the two springs, I probably would still be crawling around on the carpet looking for them.

I'll have to say it agin... "I put houge on all my guns & rifles"... that's the first thing I do to any of them...

Another Hogue person here. Love mine.

 

[Dave-WV]

I put a Hogue on mine soon after I bought last December.

Hogue Grip

I put a Hogue grip on my 15-22 and it fit like it was suppose to, and it fits my hand perfect!

Put this on my 15-22 and came as standard on my RRA LAR-15 AR1251. Great grip.

Is there a difference in the Hougue Monogrip and the Overmolded grip? My LGS only had one Monogrip left so I grabbed it.

 

[frenchphil]

Thank you for that fitting tip.
I'll now be able to mount a miad on my MP 15-22.

on the Hogue website, the term "Monogrip" seems to be reserved for the one-piece handgun grips and "Overmolded" or O.M. grips are the rifle grips.

I have seen some vendor websites refer to the rifle grip as a "Monogrip" but with the same part number as the O.M.

Bottom line, if it fits your rifle, I wouldn't worry about it. It is probably the same thing.

If you get the Magpul MIAD AR-10 wedge, you can use the extended backstraps with virtually no gap between the lower receiver and grip back strap.

I replaced the stock grip with a Hogue overmolded grip. While I liked the grippy feel I realized the grooves were too far apart for my "girly" hands. I put a Magpul MOE grip on it 2 weeks ago and have used it several times since. I much prefer the Magpul. I also used the stock hex head bolt that came with the gun. It worked perfectly for the Magpul...much easier to use than the slot head bolt supplied.

Anyone want to buy a slightly used Hogue grip? email me and we'll work it all out.

 

[sound wave]

that is the problem with the Hogue. it has such deep finger grooves that it forces your fingers into them. It is fine if that is the way you normally grip. I wish they weren't so aggressively shaped.

Another thing I don't like about them is that, at least on mine, it is designed so that you need either an AR or AK shell casing to open the storage compartment on the bottom.... which is fine since i have the Hogue on my AK.

Still, I like the Magpul better where you can open the bottom compartment with your finger.

 

[EdNewman]

Put a Houge on mine. Very happy with it.

I've changed out the Magpul MOE grip on my 15-22 MOE (small gap between the MOE grip and the 15-22 lower receiver... gives an occational pinch to the grip hand webbing between the thumb and fore finger.. Ouch!) for a Ergo (ambi). The Ergo grip is higher on the lower receiver and for us folk with large hands, I've found the Ergo grip a lithe larger than the Hogue grip. I have the Ergo on two other AR type weapons.


Aim small,

Hogue overmolded fits my big old gorilla hands perfectly.

I'm not sure that the storage compartment will ever see use by me due to the afforementioned ridiculously tight fit, but that's my only complaint w/ it so far.

Installed mine and fits like a charm and a lot better than stock.

I put on a Command Arms UPG16 grip on today. It comes with 3 different front and rear interchangeable rubberized pads to mix and match giving you a truly customizable grip. I like how it feels in my hand but I havent range tested yet.

Love my UPG16!... Well my hand does.

 

[TDI Brad]

I figured I would try it on the 15-22 before I put one on the 15.
