       To Rob Pincus or anyone,
            What type of vertical grip works best on a M4 Mil std 1913 System?

              Thanks everyone !!!

The one you are comfortable with.  I've been through a couple and prefer shorter.  Cost also helps.  The question is similar to asking what kind of weapon is best for CC.  I heard some place that they're like opinions: everyone has one...  and they stink.
YMMV.

Sorry, TSK... I had missed this question... but, as Bros has said, there is no answer.  It is a pretty simple device.. the only practical variables are going to be based on quality (toughness) and ease of mounting/moving.  Price is going to be a good indicator of both.

Personally, I don't like them very much, so I don't have a strong opinion on any of them.

I use a full size Tango Down VFG and love it... a "must have" on a carbine for me.

Intended use and training experience may play into your selection.  Many find it useful as a "hand stop" for types of grip on the forearm.  If your grip is solely on the vertical fore grip, you may find some limitations in tracking, speed and control.  That being said, the previous comments about comfort and durability apply.

I have always used a Knights.  I found mine to be quite handy operationally.  I have used others but the Knights is a good size for me.  I have my opinions about the company however the grip has been fine.

I have a vertical grip on my AR now. I am curious if there are any feeling pro/con for their use. Specifically, are there any real world examples of their benefit. I am still working to get mine "where I want it". I haven't completely written off the idea of removing it completely.

I've been playing with Crimson Trace's new light/laser foregrip and like it quite a bit. Although what you hang on your AR will always be a matter of personal taste, consolidating important things like a white light into a foregrip, making the switching programmable and completely ambidextrous, and eliminating dangling wires and pressure switches all make pretty good sense.

Stay safe,

Mike
