It felt a little bit like cheap plastic, but I could tell by the construction that it wouldn’t fail as easily as I was hoping. Let’s start off by saying that I really wanted to break this grip. The function is exactly what you want, but it’s far from being anything fancy. Overall, I confirmed my initial thought that this grip was as average as a grip could be. It functioned exactly how a grip would and you can mount it directly on an M-LOK rail instead of having to install any adapters like I had to on my original grip. If you’re someone who just needs a cost-effective forearm grip and you don’t care too much about getting mud into the screws of your grip, then this would be a fantastic choice. Toward’s the end of my testing, however, I was already feeling more comfortable with this grip. ![]() That’s not the grip’s fault, as I’m usually a bench-shooter. That being said, I had a hard time getting used to the feel of this grip. It feels better, more natural, and it’s way more stable. Personally, I will always implement and recommend the C-clamp grip. You could either hold it like the old-fashioned “broom stick” forearm grips or you could C-clamp your forearm while using the grip as a stabilizer for the base of your hand. When rapid-firing my rifle, the grip was fine to use as it was meant to. An attachment like this is easy to just slap onto your rifle and leave it there for the next 10 years. I’m the kind of shooter that has one forearm grip for one AR that’s been in my possession since I turned 18. The function and durability tests will decide what my final thoughts are on this grip and if I would recommend it for your setup, so let’s get into that. But it’s hard not to feel that when you’re handling a hollow piece of thin-walled polymer. My last critique on first handling this grip is that it did feel just like cheap plastic. This is something I would later test in the function part of the review. My first thought was that if you were to go prone with this on your gun, and you accidentally ran the grip into the mud, you would be left with a dirty mess that could get into your screws. ![]() The bottom of the grip that allows you access to the screws that hold the grip to your forearm does not have a cap. The bad news that really rubbed me wrong with first impressions is that it is NOT a capped grip. It also had good texture on the grip for your hand to really grab onto. The good news is that it was easy to install and use. With this grip, you have two M-LOK screws and you’re done. The less parts you have to make sure are tight, the better. Being able to directly mount this grip to the forearm is smart, and probably the best part about this grip. I was running a forearm grip that required a picatinny rail on my M-LOK forearm, so by converting to Amend2’s foregrip I saved myself from having to deal with 2 extra screws and an additional piece. I really wanted to like this grip when I first received it.
