| This is just my opinion, but I don't like the angle of the A2 grip. It makes me cant my wrist and I have arthritis in that wrist. I prefer a grip that is less canted and more vertical. Simply a comfort thing for me. |

| Well, along with the A1 grip, they're not very hand-filling. Later grips, such as Magpuls MOE do a much better job in that respect.
However, if I had only A2 grips for my ARs, it wouldn't be a big deal for me. |

| I'm kind of partial to them myself as that's what I was issued in 1986. They're natural to me.
I'd rather be hated for who I am than loved for who I'm not.

| Too small (not unlike a standard AK grip) and the grip angle is not conducive to a squared off shooting stance. It's just not very ergonomic when you're actually shooting.

| The finger nub with some people. It isn't in an ergonomic spot for some hands. I felt the A1 and A2 were to shallow. Putting a MIAD with the large rear grip puts the trigger in a more natural spot for me.

That's an interesting point concerning the grip on an AK, at the same time that I owned the CAR-15 I also owned an AKS and I remember how much I disliked the grip.

| For me the finger bump is in the wrong place, I took one to a sander and fixed that. Then I found hogue overmolded grip and now they are on my ARs. And the originals are too skinny https://www.hogueinc.com/catal...result/?q=Ar+15+grip

I literally laughed at this because that's how I was instructed back in 1986 and I shot like this for decades. Nothing wrong with it really but there are better methods now. This now has me curious to change out a grip just to see what I may be missing out on.
