Reviews & Ratings for FAB Defense Ergonomic Folding Pistol Grip for M16/M4/AR15 — 97 reviews — Page 1

Supurb grip. Economics are perfect. I have arthritis in the hands and the grip is installed on a 308 making it much easier to shoot.

Works great with my folding stock and detachable barrel.

The grip is the only game in town for what it does. It doesn’t come with a grip screw though and requires the OG style of grip with the thin head.

It’s a good polymer grip that folds, good if wanting really compact build. One small Con is the metal button that’s extended out is a little uncomfortable to the fingers when your grip lands on it. Also mine didn’t come with the bolt to screw it in.

The FAB Defense Ergonomic Folding Pistol for M16/M4/AR15 works great for storage. I can fit my ar into a glove box!

Well made, doesn’t feel loose like others! I will be buying more for other builds!!

Good grip, comfortable. Slight movement, but that's expected with a two piece grip. Great for compact storage in truck.

This is a great grip. I have an average size hand and this grip fits perfectly. I feel i have better control and connection to the unit. The folding is a good way to save a few inches when packing in a case.

My quick access safe is said to house up to five ARs. Well, that's if there is no optics on them; even with a red dot, it's an inch too tight for the door to close securely.

That's where this folding pistol grip comes in so handy, it just gives me much needed space. Helps to fit two rifles in a case for a single rifle, too, or use lower profile case. 10 rd magazine sticks out about as far as this handle folded.

To fold the handle, one needs to push an oversize slotted screw on the left side (not shown in the picture); it's stiff, I can only do it with my thumb if I twist my wrist the right way to help it; sometimes I put my other thumb over to help pushing it; I am not particularly strong-handed, yet there are plenty people out there with yet weaker hands or with arthritis, who may have trouble operating that button. It only locks in the unfolded position, so unfolding it is easy, and that's what matters in an emergency. The rifle can be fired with the grip folded, too, though holding it that way is a bit awkward.

There is a storage compartment for batteries and what not; I need to use a small flat screwdriver to push the catch open; a penny or dime should work, too.

I ended up buying one of these handles for each AR I have, plus one more for a VZ-58, using and adapter. (AK adapters are also plentiful.)

Some people dislike finger groves as they don't fit every person's hand. These work fine for me with my L-sized hands.

Would rather get an analog made domestically, but ...

I bought my first one of these a couple years ago for an AR10 to get it to fit into a standard scoped rifle case, which is how I have been storing it since then. It is also a great ergonomic grip for an AR Rifle. I recently bought 2 more of these for the same purpose, to store 2 more ARs in regular rifle cases. My first one when unfolded had a little gap where it opens so I put a little bit of foam tape to fill in the gap. It had been very solid since then. The new ones lock up very tightly when unfolded and have no wiggle or movement when unfolded.

To install, you will need to get a 1/4-28 x 1 inch cap head screw. These can be purchased at any decent hardware store for under $1 each.
