Yes.

Looks like fun.

Echo trigger looks more fun and more practical.

$400 trigger or $40 piece of plastic. Hmmm.

Great point.

You don't always get what you pay for.

.

I'll end up testing both, my money (I do not gamble) is on the trigger.

AS PROMISED : Here is the email reply I received

Hi Ed.

Yes we still carry both the AR and AK versions of the bump fire grips. We have shifted from a store front to online sales and attending select gun shows. Please follow the link for information regarding the grips and making a purchase.

I'm going to the show on Friday anyway since he has some supplies I need. According to his post on VA Gun Trader, buying one of these gets me a discount on reloading supplies, so it's a win-win for me.

Did you pick one up?
If so can you give us a few thoughts on it?
Thanks

I guess I missed the $40 ones. Site says $60.

StantonCree · Dec 31, 2016

I just snagged one for S&Gs. I've wasted money on worse so we shall see

I got one Friday. It's pretty simple to install, but I have only one lower with a milspec trigger guard. I will try to get out tomorrow and test it.

I got a Franklin Armory, using it on a 9mm and its stupid fun. Worth every penny.

I got one for the AR and another for the AK. The AK fits my RPK better than it fits my PAP92 and I will give it a test this weekend. The AR does not fit in Engage lowers but does fit in some others I own. Its a piece of plastic that will rub on the bottom of the trigger guard so I won't be using it with any of my nicer AR's out of fear it will scratch the finishes.

Mine fits no problem on my Engage lower. That being said it 100% will be leaving marks on the trigger bar.

The packaging came with zero instructions, although it's kind of self explanatory. I wouldn't say it's cheaply made since it's just a molded piece of plastic but it's got a rough finish.

I haven't shot it yet but it appears this product is going to be more trouble then it's worth on first glance. You have to hold the rifle pretty hard forward with your hand guard grip. I've wasted money on worse and for 60 bucks it's totally worth a try. I'll know more then I finally get to shoot it but I see this being a real learning curve and until that curve is reached i for see a jam o matic

I'll try again but I couldn't get it to snap on either of my 2 Engage lowers. Since it is molded plastic I can definitely see how tolerances could vary unit by unit.

Which trigger guard are you using? The label says you need a milspec trigger guard for this to work. No fancy Magpul stuff.

The Engage lowers have an integrated trigger guard.
