Mine became a casualty. He couldn’t hold his service weapon. The fingers eventually broke off after using them. Then you have a GI Joe with a disability. Amputated fingers. 😢 GI Nub. 😭
Yes! The palm is too skinny, and the vertical texture lines are worthless! As soon as I got mine out of the cool packaging and into my hand, i was immediately disappointed.
I don’t like mine. Why is the front of the grip where your fingers wrap around it wider than the back where your palm sits? It’s backwards and uncomfortable. Also, the texture on the back sucks. It needs to be way more aggressive like the sides and front to provide more leverage when the gun must be held up with one hand. The grip angle and cool aesthetic are all this has going for it IMO. Get the Thril RTG instead.
I have enjoyed undercut trigger guards on my 1911s, and I bemoaned the lack of a similar solution for the AR platform. This looks like it might just what I am looking for.
@@CrashRacknShoot I have that BCM Mod 2 on two rifles. It isn't too bad on the updated lower, but could be better. It causes a low hold (for me) on the old style lower. Arthritis is the problem requiring an undercut.
Not enough leverage when driving the gun forward from a low or high ready. Hurts the wrist I think the angle is too much. I THINK (I’m no industrial designer or engineer) a reduction in degrees of angle and a small palm swell could help. With the grip so straight up and down I felt all the weight of the rifle pulling forward in my hand, as though it really wanted to roll the grip forward and out. You’re definitely on to something good, and again I’m not an expert but I just really don’t see how this is comfortable for higher round counts. I saw that Kit Badger had run this pretty hard on platforms of different sizes but he is a fairly rugged guy anyways. Idk could also just be a case by case thing. I just no I wanted to love it and after a few range sessions and dry fire drilling it had to go.
I'm gonna do an honest review. This grip induces palm fatigue. It's a very uncomfortable angle, heavy on the palm, and the bottom of the grip digs into your pinky. The finger grove makes no sense unless you have short fingers. My average size finger is too long to fit inside the grove. It leaves a hollow gap that's harder to hold on to. I really wanted to like this grip, but it ended up being the most uncomfortable grip I own.
Can you do a run down on the different options on AR upper holding devices? I need one for changing out muzzle devices. I want quality but extreme overkill is probably not cost effective.
I use an otis manufacturing lock block, it cost $100, usa made and work s great👍 The Midwest industries one had a bunch of good reviews but was $50 more at the time. The geissele one had mostly meh reviews and was even more expensive.
I got one… tried to like it… it looked cool. Once installed, I immediately disliked it. I gave it a chance. Lots of dry fire and dry reload drills. Nope. Its coming off and going in the bin…

Appreciate that feedback. We are releasing a grip plug to add storage for your skitttles and other stuff&things and will also provide a little extra material for the hand... We also plans to have a Kung Fu XL grip releasing later on this summer.
I like how it looks on my 7.5 .300blk. It’s interesting to get used to but I’m all for it. Very grippy, maybe just a bit too wide for my hands, I have to break my grip a bit more to reach the safety.
If you had questions about durability why not just take one and hammer it around some ?. Do you honestly think any manufacturer of anything is gonna say their product sucks ?.
Curious how this compares to the Edgar Sherman Design Granite grip, which I’m really liking so far. My hands are roughly L sized for gloves or slightly smaller.
It looks cool. Thats about it. I picked one up to complete my new build. Its not convincing and doesnt feel right. The palm swell is thinner than the front (finger) part of the grip. Very unnatural and uncomfortable grip. Oddly enough, the grip feels better when I hold it backwards! Perhaps its meant for bench rested shots. For drills and training that require moving, reloads and one hand manipulation its horrible. Ive had it installed for just a few days and already ordered a BCM Mod3 grip for a couple bucks less… go figure. The only good I can find in this grip is aesthetics and the 12° angle… This grip is going in the spare parts bin only to be forgotten of…
I installed one on one of mine and at first blush, didn't care for it a whole lot, but it's probably just because I'm used to something like a Magpul K2+, which I like much better. But I'm sure I'll get used to it.
@@DIEFREECO When can we expect that? Last updates were June and here we are in September but I haven’t seen anything about it yet. Is there an updated release time?
I pre ordered it. Wanted to love it but it’s just not very good. Very little leverage for driving the gun. Package was awesome but the product is a miss.
A3 tActical xeno grip. Had the BCM on one and the kung fu on the other... tried the xeno and now both guns have xenos and the bcm and kung fu are hanging in the toy box
Meh, seems great, especially on an SPR where you want that steep angle for precise shot placement. But just wait until you need to wield your weapon with one hand. At that point you start to learn that these grips are not good for manipulation of the carbine with one hand. It makes a mess
just ordered 3 of the FDE ones cause have seen em and heard u rave about em just always forgot to order one. i went through them directly is the only issue you will have with me probably lol but I've been holding out ordering from yall directly cause i need more alumahyde in FDE and its been out of stock for months with no restock emails so i hope to GOD yall havent Discontinued the best rattlecan finish available IMO, and i still need some to finish my last project with lol hope yall get some more in soon and thanks for all the vids and info as always
@@DIEFREECO Thanks!! am glad to be here even if i am late lol but yea as of now all 3 of those live on rifles and LOVE EM, so much better feeling and my wrist thanks Yall . only suggestion in future maybe would be add some storage to bottom maybe and you have the AR GOAT grip hands down!
I found the ergos with the finger groove really weird. My hand feels more comfortable with Edgar Sherman Design, BCM, Reptilia, Thrip, etc. Would love to see a future version of the Kung Fu grip without the finger groove
I saw someone had these on sale, this past weekend. And I was thinking to myself... "Self, I ghink this is Caleb Savant's new favoritist AR pistol grip! I should try one out!" But I didn't, because I wasn't sure! 😢 Now I know it was... MAYBE Brownells will have a super sale, and I will pick one up for a new Pistol build!?
@DIEFREECO I like the overmolded part of mine. It seems to grip better. Three weeks ago, I was looking for a new grip. It was down to the Kung-fu grip and the Strike Industries enhanced overmolded grip. I went with the Strike grip because it was a mix of rubber and plastic. Maybe, that would be another idea for you all to try out.
I just got your OD grip last night. I like the angle of it. Kinda small for me, being 6ft 2in and long arms. Curious about the new thing you are teasing....
I also have always liked the hogue grip. I am one of those weird finger groove guys. It just puts every part of my hand on the grip in a comfortable way. The texture is super grippy. I have 4 ARs and 3 have hogue finger groove grips with beaver tails.
I dig em. Some guns don't quite feel right depending on the trigger guard. They're shorter than magpul enough to feel it and a bit fatter. The middle finger groove is surprisingly comfeh. Cozy even
I am more interested in the belt box that was on the 2nd rifle. I need to go to the Brownells YT archive to see if that has already been covered and I missed it.
You may just be joking. But in case you’re not, it’s not about recoil. It’s about getting a more comfortable grip angle, keeping the muzzle as flat as possible, and having more authority/stability when maneuvering the rifle.
They needed to etch the face of 70s version of the GI Joe ( the one with the beard) on the grip.
Mine became a casualty. He couldn’t hold his service weapon. The fingers eventually broke off after using them. Then you have a GI Joe with a disability. Amputated fingers. 😢 GI Nub. 😭
An AK Kung Fu Grip. The angle looks like a Glock grip protruding off the back of the AR.
I own 3 and have gifted 3 to friends and they all like it... worth your pennies.
Really like the grip. I wish they had a XL version with more palm swell in the back and a bit longer with a flare at the bottom.
I emailed DFCO about making an XL and the owner said an XL is in the works
@@SaucyNuggs_2313 great
They'll call it the Fist 👊 of Fury
Yes! The palm is too skinny, and the vertical texture lines are worthless! As soon as I got mine out of the cool packaging and into my hand, i was immediately disappointed.
One of the many reasons I go with BCM gunfighter Mod 1 or 2s. Similar relaxed grip angle and much bigger palm swell. Texture is also very grippy.
Since my upper body happens to have the Swivel-Arm Battle Grip I should be able to hold this in some cool and realistic poses

@@jstpsgthru ah, gotcha. Well, that's the beauty of a free market, I'm sure there's something out there that'll work better. Maybe this is it!
I tried to like it. It is pretty terrible for one hand manipulation. I went with the BCM mod 3. DiefreeCo lives in the misc box.

Very uncomfortable grip indeed. Im definitely replacing it.
Just put mine on my rifle and though I've yet to shoot with it, I'd have to agree so far. Thank God it was only $20 lol
If you don't mind me asking, do you have an unbalanced AR? Like its very front heavy? And are you using it on an ar pistol?
@@alexryherd9810 Mine went in the trash. One range session was enough with this grip.
@haydenbriggs I tried it on my 7 inch 300blk and 11.5 5.56 . Went back to my reptilia cqb which doesn't have any of problems I've mentioned.
Got one. Love it. Big fan. Will be on all builds from now on..

Sounds like a great product. Hello from SouthWest Louisiana
I won one on an online stream live...... haven't even open it yet....
They need to offer a grip plug for it.
I think you need a couple wraps of goon tape on that Kung fu grip. Angle is nice and I bet it lends to very quick semi-auto fire.
I love mine. For $20 it’s definitely worth a shot!
I jumped on it. Gonna instal on a build I’m working on soon and try it out!
Update. Grip sucks
If you had questions about durability why not just take one and hammer it around some ?. Do you honestly think any manufacturer of anything is gonna say their product sucks ?.

wonderful review
It all comes back to finger grooves.
Hmmm.... Might have to try one.
Love them. Impatiently waiting for a vertical foregrip from them
It's a little bit short for me. It is very nice, it just needs a little bit more length and a bit of thickness.
The palm area is way too thin and needs better texture.
