I'm down to waiting on my timney trigger to arrive from optics planet and my grip choice on my 243 project. I hate the term build because I didn't machine the parts from scratch and own a tool and die shop ...so I didn't build it. Lol... I'm just assembling parts that a company manufured. Don't mean to affend anyone out there but IMO builders own CNC machines and spin barrels. Assembling an AR is like owning a big kids Lincoln log or tinker toy set. It's still fun and exciting but most of us didn't do the real talent of whittling the logs.
Anyways, I have big hands and need a BIG grip. The A2 stock that came on my lower has to be ment for someone with an 8 year olds size hands. I like my moe grip on my POF but when I shoot it I'm am finding that I'm lowering my hand down and holding thumb pocket"I'll call it I guess" out about a good 1/2" to 1" away when I'm shooting. If not my finger would go all the way through past the trigger to the point the trigger would rest on my first part of my finger joint.
I was looking at the magpul miad to try but would rather have a one piece grip and stand of parts that can come loose in time. I didn't rul out the miad yet but I ended up ordering an ATi scorpion to try. When i first looked at them on line they looked like the goofiest set up with the beaver tail hanging way out the end. The past day the looks started growing on me so I ordered on to try. The place I ordered it has free shipping and returns so I don't like it it's going back. The scorpion looks like it's probably the widest grip out there so I rolled the $22 worth of dice to try it. I found it cheaper on line but not with free returns and I wanted that option if I absolutely hate it. I kinda liked the looks of the finger gripped Ergo as well. The last one that interested me was the ergo with the flat base on the end. I figured it would feel good initiative my hand but I don't think I could ever get used to the look of the flat base. Guess I live in too small of a town being the only place we have here is a gander with nothing but Moe grips in stock with no Miads and one other place with the plain moe grip which I already own.
What do you large hand shooters use?.
