I really like this grip. I am not a fan of going very fancy on an AK and have kept my standard grip for some time. However, I did try this grip as a friend had one on his AK. Feels great. Gives me a little more to hold on too without being too large. Texture gives you a very solid non-slip hold. Also, it is just plain enough to not take away from that rugged AK look. That is not to say in is not esthetically pleasing because it is. Just not too much. Install was not a problem. However, I should mention when I first went to install it seemed possibly too tight to the point I was thinking, I may have to get out the dremel. But, taking a very close look it seemed to be right on the margin so I decided to try the install without any shaving or sanding. Putting the grip in place I used the grip bolt to fit it as I applied torque in turning the bolt. That worked pulling the grip perfectly in place and now I am glad I did not cut or sand away anything. It is on and I mean good and snug. Used a little Blue Loctite so it should be in place until I decide to remove it. For less than $20 = shipping you just can't go wrong.
Pros: Price, feel, fit, easy instalation
Cons: none
