Quick Verdict

The Magpul K2 Plus Grip is a significant upgrade for those looking to enhance the ergonomics and comfort of their AR15 or M4 platform. With its more vertical grip angle and rubber overmolding, it offers a superior grip and control, particularly beneficial in high-stress scenarios.

What Makes This Review Different

This review stands out as part of an ongoing series where I document my AR15 upgrade journey. By including the K2 Plus Grip installation, we not only explore the product features but also discuss the installation process and its impact on overall weapon handling.

Design and Layout

The MOE-K2+ Grip features a streamlined design that is built from reinforced polymer with a wrap-around rubber overmolding. This design provides a firm grip and reduces slippage, making it ideal for adverse weather conditions. The vertical grip angle is optimized for use on firearms configured for personal defense, allowing for a more natural wrist position when aiming.

Real-World Use

Installation of the K2 Plus Grip was straightforward. By removing the old grip with a flathead screw, I carefully replaced it with the K2 Plus, ensuring that I didn't lose the captured spring which plays a critical role in maintaining safety function. The ergonomic benefits were immediately noticeable—my hand naturally aligned with the trigger, improving my overall control over the weapon.

Who This Product May Be For

This product is best suited for AR15/M4 owners who are looking to enhance their firearm's handling characteristics. Whether you are a competitive shooter, a law enforcement officer, or simply a responsible gun owner wanting to maximize comfort and control, the K2 Plus Grip is a fantastic upgrade.

Key Takeaways

  • The K2 Plus Grip offers enhanced ergonomics through its vertical design and rubber overmolding.
  • Installation is user-friendly, making it accessible for those new to firearm modifications.
  • This grip significantly improves weapon control, especially for short LOP configurations.
  • Magpul's ongoing support for their products ensures customer satisfaction and reliability.
