Since I've been playing with these two new products all weekend I figured I'd give a short review of each.
Magpul MOE+ grip
Having relatively small hands, I've always been a fan of the Hogue Overmold grip. The rubbery grip gives great purchase and its small enough to give my trigger finger good placement. Now comes the MOE+ with a similar oversold rubber surface and the MOE grip angle. First impressions are the rubber is not as tacky as the Hogue. It does give a positive grip, but not as good as the Hogue. It does however give a better palm filling grip and I prefer the grip angle. I can get more of a positive grip with more of my hand which translates to better weapon control. It's still early in my testing process but I think I will keep it over the Hogue.
Magpul MS3 sling.
I have a few MS2 slings and while they are OK, I have never been a fan of the slippery silk feeling material or the clunky and heavy clasps. This sling addresses both areas with upgrades and turns this sling into my new favorite. I haven't had enough field time with it to really put it through it's paces but in just terms of hardware, and ergonomics this thing is great. It's easy to transition from single to 2-point and it's is fantastic in both roles where the last incarnation was just ok in both. The newly designed locking clasps are light and strong. I know this sounds like a Magpul press release, and I hate reviews that do that, but I really do like this sling. I like it a lot. It's simple, adjustable, and strong.
