My 7.5 month (73lb) German Sheppard puppy decided to grab one of my MIADs off the table.  I heard the cracking chewing noise, and figured he had a cow hoof, so I was slow to check.

Thankfully the beast only had it for a few moments and wasn't chewing on it hard.

Tough grip; looks well worn now so put it back on your rifle.  Just like the ol' days when you on purposely destroyed a new pair of jeans so they'd look cool.

Those are better pics than on any of the seller's websites.  I might have to get one myself.

When my GSD was a li'l hound, I brought home a huge moose antler.  She used to sit in the palm and chew on the tines until they were all chewed off.

It saved our wooden furniture and shoes, I'm sure.

Ahh yes, the joys of teething Shepherd puppies...

I've had them destroy sunglasses, the entire carpet in a room and even a pine table.

The MIAD still looks usable though.

So what are you gonna do with it now?

Now with "K-9 GRIP"!!!

I miss my German Shepard.  Brought him back from Germany when I was a kid during the Cold War.  Best dog I've ever seen/had/met.

Let's see -

three remote controls
several bicycle tires
TV antenna (jumped up the wall, grabbed the cable off the wall, tore the antenna off the roof)
some pillows
wallpaper in the bath room
coffee table
legs of the dining room chairs
fence
high voltage wires to the AC - three times
numerous toys from the kids
running shoes
two pair of jungle boots
one pair of work boots
tarp

Never did get a gun part, though ...

120 # yellow lab.   Killed me having to put him down .... could outrun the fastest guy in PT.  Protected the Mrs and kiddos, would not leave her side when she was pregnant.
Could not save him from himself (allergic to just about everything ...)

Most ironic - he found and shredded the book "The Art of Raising A Puppy".

I hope you're being sarcastic.

Don't leave your shit laying around if you don't want it messed with.

Even though the pup took it off the table, it doesn't change that I didn't thump him.  He was given the proper command, and released it immediately.  I won't thump him for obeying, and at 8 months old, he is still just a 70+lb puppy.


A MIAD is cheap in the big scheme of things, and it functions fine on the weapon.  I expect a lot from the pup, but I don't expect him to be perfect.  Besides, if he was trying to be destructive, the MIAD wouldn't look the same.

Your MIAD held up pretty well.  Our blue heeler can destroy a cow's hoof pretty quick with her adult teeth.  I have a few extra A2 grips.  She can have those.

I accidentally left my hobby room door open and my pup had gotten a bag o' XM193.  Any way he was chewing on and had bent up a couple of rounds.  Dumb pup, bad parent!!  The door stays CLOSED now.  

That justs hurts my teeth remembering that.  Ugh.

Not sure if you mean the above poster and his ammo, or the grip.  The grip is on the carbine and shown below...

<--- You should see what an English Bulldog can do.  I have been around dogs all my life and I got a big education when we got our bulldog 2.5 years ago.  No other dog is quite like a bullie.  

I once found him chewing on an Aimpoint M2........it lived.



The Aimpoint, or the dog?


Seriously, (mcgrubbs, and Stickman) those are some pricey chew-toys!!

He could be telling you something (Linky)

Why settle for dogs when you can have a 30 foot dirt drop?

I was very impressed with how well the grip held up during testing considering I had heard the pre-prod's were brittle.
