Yes, this style of grip can help minimize or eliminate sympathetic movement in the firing hand while shooting. More likely is that he's wrong-handed, though |

I went to a school where the instructors taught that grip. Wrap the front of the grip normally, and place the thumb on the backstrap. Your fingers are curved around the front, and the thumb just rests, not pushes, against the backstrap. Kind of like you're making a fist with your thumb on top. They also stressed a relaxed grip like a handshake, but not to squeeze the grip like a handgun.
I found that it works better with an A1 or A2, or other thin pistol grip, but not so much with a thicker grip like the MIAD with the large backstrap. |

If anyone is looking for a BLOCK II upper, I'm going to post my complete Daniel Defense which includes KAC sights.
Has less then 200 rounds threw it. Going to post it in the EE when I get home. Looking for a new 1911 COLT or Springfield project. |

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t15/BlancoDiablo/DSCN4592.jpg You can keep your Scouts. While not on the SOPMOD chart, many, many, many units have purchased them for Block 1.5 & Block 2 M4s. They have an NSN: 6230-01-525-4109, so they are in the "system". They mounting options are better, too. The M3X 1913 mount usually needs a few sheets of tin foil to tighten it up - unless you're using the .mil QD rail mount. If you do go the M3X or M6X route, the "rail-grabber" version provides a more secure mount. Lights, like grips, are down to user preferences (or mission if deployed) anyway |

She is done!! Well, almost. I need a front sight..debating whether I want a Troy or spend the $60 extra and get a taupe KAC sight. I freaking LOVE this thing already!! Not nearly as heavy as I thought it would be.

And with the M4-CQBR clone and Mk12 Mod0.

Still awaiting my tan M620 and Thorntail offset mount, but she's still dang nice how she currently sits.
Also pondering an Aimpoint 3x magnifier from LaRue. Not sure how I feel about adding that weight for such a small amount of magnification though. |

You might have to move your T1 up one or two notches - but other than that - you have the option of removing or installing the QD as the situation dictates. ~Augee |

What did I do when I ran out of useful things to buy at Surplus Ammo over the last week? I bought less-than-useful-but-still-a-sound-investment things. I picked up this and 2 SF 60's just for the heck of it. The 60's are actually pretty sweet. Are they worth the price? Not if you don't have stacks of mags already. But they fit well and feel nice. This thing, on the other hand? It is so stinking heavy and awkward. But this is still America (at the moment), and I can.

Bottom one is probably going to be a PR rifle or just a plain old M4, maybe a MK12? LOL can't get my mind made up on another clone or I did really like that picture a few pages back with the Geissele rail.
I'm also really digging the A2 grip now. They didn't really fit my hands that well before but now they feel great.
