Angled Foregrip or not?

[Knight]

Came across this on Amazon and am thinking of getting it for my AR pistol.

I am pretty sure this can legally be considered an angled foregrip since it's not vertical and not at a 90 degree angle but wanted to get some thoughts.

I realize it's a cheap piece of plastic made in China. I do have a Magpul AFG currently mounted but wanted something I can wrap my thumb around underneath the barrel.

Appreciate any thoughts!

its angled, don't know how effective it would be with the C-Clamp grip though.

I have a keymod floating handguard and a picatinny rail attached so it should slide right onto the rail ok.... I think.

I tried a Colt brand angled foregrip with light and laser on one M4 I have...didn't like it. The angle didn't feel right...a vertical foregrip is ore comfortable. I ended up selling the Colt foregrip...Colt dropped them from the catalog so others must not have liked it either.

Just go full on deadly with the vertical foregrip.

I believe a vertical foregrip is illegal on any pistol, per the dastardly ATF

 

[Knight]

Correct, this is for my AR pistol so no vertical foregrip legally permitted without it being an SBR. I mentioned earlier I have a Magpul AFG currently mounted but its not all that comfortable.

So I was wondering if this grip could be considered an "angled grip" that I could legally mount on my AR pistol.

If you look at it like an HBAR that has to marked or marketed as such I'd avoid this due to the fact it's not listed as an angled foregrip anywhere on the page. You could probably argue in your favor but it would be a lot easier if it was marketed as an AFG.

It is illegal because it supposedly makes it more deadly when fire with two hands lmao

How many puppies and unicorns were ground up to make that thing?

When he says c-clamp, he isn't talking about how it attaches to the rail. He's talking about your hand position on the firearm.

Actually , a vertical foregrip could potentially make a pistol into an AOW .

IF the resultant firearm is less than 26 inch OAL .

Over 26 inch OAL , it would be an * Other Firearm * , same catagory as PGO shotgun- like device . Aka Legal if you are over 21yo .

That is a cheap Chinese knockoff of a foregrip made by Stark Equipment.

I encourage you to buy the US Made real one.

Pistol, yes. Firearm, no.

Depends on what the overall length is.

I like hand-stops better for pistols. They're legally safer and still work well for control/indexing the front.

 

[alucard0822]

I have tried to like AFGs and VFGs and just don't, hand stops can be Ok, but can also be limiting. My general rule is slim handguards and a C-grip way out near the muzzle on longer barrels, fat handguards and a closer grip on shorter barrels, and if there isn't enough room for that, just grab the front of the magwell.

Got it! Had a brain fart. Thanks!

Thank you. I hadn't heard of Stark Equipment before and it looks of better quality. I appreciate the offer but I am thinking that since you can wrap your thumb around it, it's probably not legal for and AR pistol. Makes it an AOW I believe.

IANAL and won't speak to the legality of it. I can vouch for the quality of stark equipment as I have used their products and they are very good.
