Can I get some feedback on featureless grip prototype?

[jviz4u]

Great final suggestion. Dude, thank you a ton for this. You've really clarified and validated the changes that need to be made.

So, putting it all together, I'm picturing something like this. What do you think?

I was planning to "improve" my HH to something close to your design. You probably already considered to add a checkering or stippling to the surface?

By this logic, somebody should just mold a little bracket to accept existing pistol grips at an appropriate angle, then fasten right back where they were.

Doesn't really work. You can kind of make one that puts the grip in exactly the same position as the one in the OP, but the ergonomics of the standard AR grip would be all out of whack at that point. That's probably why the OP decided to make their own grip shape, and I would say they made the right choice. See below

That sounds like a million dollar idea right there.

+1 to that idea!!!

Hmmm.... I might be onto something here

Looks like a hammerhead but more ergo. It also looks like my little girly hands would have no chance of reaching the trigger.

I would try one of those!

Im liking it. It'll be interesting to see the position and shape of that thumb swell. Looking at it now it looks iffy but I'll trust your inner vision.

Print up some prototypes and send them to a few calgunners for t and e. I'll volunteer.

That's a great idea. We'll definitely include you, your feedback has been really valuable.

I'll PM in 1-2 weeks to coordinate.

Looks good!
Is it ambidextrous or made for right handed shooters only?

Ambidextrous all the way. We're currently testing out a thumb shelf, and I'm putting 'em on both sides.

please post a pic or vid with the rifle shouldered and hand in firing position.

Thanks

We're making major ergonomics changes from this version, so I'd be hesitant to make another video with it.

Next week, when I have the next version printed, I'll show me shouldering with the grip.

[resurgent_arms]

Ditch the shiny!

And what will be the price?

No worries, that's just the cheap 3d-print plastic. The final version will be similar to what Magpul and others use.

On price, we're shooting to be competitive with other standalone grip options.

I am referring to the top part of the grip that the web between the thumb and index finger rests along. If you draw a line straight across from the top of the exposed trigger, it looks like its a little lower and I can't tell if that is because of the angle and there is some extra material there that I am not seeing. The hammerhead actually sits above that line to make sure it is extra Cali compliant. As far as the part that sits below the trigger guard, I agree with you that it is not an issue.

Thank you for your work. I hope this all works out to the benefit of everyone.

Ahhh, I get you. And good call. Yeah, it looks like we may be like 1mm too low right now. I'll bump that up going forward.

[resurgent_arms]

That's the best looking featureless grip I've seen so far. Will it be available in overmolded rubber?

I'm not sure what final material we'll use, but we're aiming for that sort of performance.

[afteractionreport]

Please use some rugged material or atleast a topcoat of something thats not smooth...even if it doesnt feel just right to some folks (you cant please everyone) a sturdy feel will help some folks.

For example i just bought a hammerhead. My hands are just a tad big and it doesnt feel too comfy but if i had some sort of sturdy grip i would be more pleased. Im thinking of adding some grip tape so i can have that sturdy feel...

As for feed back, I really like it. I would prefer to see something smaller in diameter though. That way you can really tuck that grip tightly in the palm. The rifles I have with traditional stocks are thin in the grip, and I think that helps make their ergonomics work. All in all it's an awesome concept, I'd buy one.
