Part of the joy of owning an AR-15 is the ability to customize your firearm to improve its performance, make it more comfortable, or just make it look cool. A vertical or angled foregrip is an accessory for your rifle that will make a world of difference once you install it. Angled grips can give you more control when firing as well as comfort when holding your rifle.
Foregrips for AR-15: Stability and Aesthetic Appeal
A high-quality foregrip is one of the most useful accessories you can add to your AR-15, giving you increased control, less perceived recoil, and improved comfort when firing. These handy attachments are generally divided into three main categories depending on their shape and use: vertical foregrips, angled foregrips, and handstops.
Your foregrip of choice should depend on your preferences and a few other factors. However, you should familiarize yourself with the laws in your state regarding which grips and accessories you can legally add to your AR-15 before purchasing a foregrip. Vertical grips cannot be added to an AR-15 pistol in some states. You might consider an angled foregrip or hand stop for your firearm instead to ensure you comply with local restrictions.
Vertical Foregrips
These grips are positioned at a 90-degree angle from your firearm's handguard and are generally held with a "C" grip around the handle. They maintain pressure on the handguard, which allows more control over any directional recoil you may experience during firing.
Angled Foregrip
These ergonomically designed grips provide a contact surface of less than 90 degrees, bringing the user's hand more in line with the rifle's bore for smoother positioning. The exact angle varies depending on the style and manufacturer.
Handstops
As the smallest AR-15 foregrips, handstops offer users tactile feedback for where to put their hands without the added bulk of the other options. These grips allow the user to lock their hand in place by pushing against the stop with either a forward or reverse grip.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF INSTALLING AN ANGLED GRIP ON YOUR AR?
Many marksmen add a foregrip or handguard to achieve additional stability during firing. Using a stable firing stance can make or break your accuracy, performance, and shooting experience; foregrips can supplement efforts to perfect your stability.
WHAT RAIL SYSTEMS ARE COMPATIBLE WITH THESE FOREGRIPS?
Our collection of top-quality foregrips includes options compatible with almost any AR-15 rail system, including M-LOK, KeyMod, and Picatinny setups. The listings for each foregrip will tell you which rail system the selected accessory is compatible with so you can be sure you know what to expect.
If you fall in love with a foregrip that is not compatible with your current system, you can install an adapter that will accommodate cross-platform connections. For example, our Kaw Valley Precision M-LOK Rail Section adds a section of Picatinny rail base to your firearm, allowing you to attach a foregrip designed for use with Picatinny rails.

Installing a new foregrip on your AR-15 is incredibly easy. While the process varies based on which foregrip you're installing on which rail system, most installations only require a long Allen key.
