    Why a 15* grip?

    What is the big deal with 15* fore grips? I have never used one so I am wondering why they seem to be so popular. Does it make the gun ?feel? better Why should I upgrade to one?

    More ergonomic, feels more comfortable.

      This word is way to much: Preference.

      It doesnt matter though, you wont notice while your playing.

        You'd notice, I switched up my foregrip setup with an extender and I can totally feel the difference during play, whether it's good or bad I haven't decided yet....

            ya, but an extender EXTENDS it 3 inches. The angled just leans it forward a little. BIG difference.

              its funny, because the rearward facing 15 deg. foregrip, is apparently more ergonomic, claims wgp, who started the 15 deg. craze

                I had noticed that too.

                They dont have a bad marketing idea, tho...

                  its like a z or y-grip, but up front, moves your wrist into a more natural position, causing less fatigue during continuous play

                    I've used the 15 deg. ASA on my autocockers for a couple years before coming to Mags (then I got one of Doc's angled ASA for my Mag). It just feels natural to me the way you hold it, you're not bending your wrist as much as you do with a straight ASA.

                    There needs to be some more radically milled angled ASAs tho come out for the Mag -- the ones Doc and Rogue offer are pretty plain jane...

                      HONESTLY I do not like the feel of them, but they do make "certain" guns look better. IE Mags, Cockers and Angels.

                          i like it cause it gets my foregrip out just the right length so I can clear my warpfeed...

                          it looks snazzy too!
