TEXAS PHOENIX from United States, TX Public Profile

This is a fun way to have a bipod on the go, while minimizing weight, and keeping your lower rail slick. It’s objectively better than having no bipod or bag. Plus it looks BA. The catch is that if you need it for dynamic situations (not at the range), you’ll also have a good chance of depressing the bipod deployment button on your kit, which I did several times during a tactical competition. Strictly as a bipod during range day, it does a B-/C+ job compared to a bipod closer to the muzzle. The further you move support from the muzzle and toward the trigger, the less stable you will be. This was a sacrifice I was willing to make if it were otherwise fit for use in the field. If I were to change one thing, I would put the button in a recess, or require an additional deployment action (button, latch, button cover, etc) to mitigate accidental bipod deployment.
