Tactical PTS AFG Angled ForeGrip Grip - SWAT Black
FEATURES:
PTS AFG angled Fore-Grip.
AFG (Angled Fore-Grip) is a rail-mounted forward grip/index point designed to improve weapon ergonomics and increase shooter speed and efficiency.
Smaller size allows for compatibility with a wider variety of rail systems, rail covers, and accessory mounts.
Detachable three-piece design
Fit every 20mm picatinny standard rail.
Interchangeable finger shelf (Included).
Unlike conventional vertical fore-grips, the AFG takes into account natural body mechanics to provide a comfortable and stable user interface reducing fatigue and allowing for more precise weapon control.
By positioning the shooter’s hand high on the centerline of the bore, the AFG helps mitigate recoil, facilitating faster, more accurate follow-up shots. â¨â¨

Mounted up
It mounts up very solidly, with no wobble on any of the rail systems that I put it on. The cross screw mounting system is very forgiving when it comes to slightly out of spec rails, allowing you to put it on pretty much anything with rails. It does require 5" of rail real estate, but it can be a little more forgiving in airsoft applications, as you're not dealing with recoil, muzzle blast, or anything else that can cause issues with shortening the rail length.
Installation:
Installing the AFG is extremely simple, only requiring a flat head screwdriver, and 5" of rail space. You must unscrew the single mounting screw, slide the AFG onto the rail onto your desired position, place the screw back in, and screw it into the nut on the other side. Try mounting it at different positions on the rail, as moving it forward or backward may have a totally different feel. I prefer to mount mine as far forward as the rail will allow.
My preferred mounting point
Changing out the front strap is slightly more complicated, requiring you to undo the screws holding the unit together, pulling it apart, and inserting your desired front strap. Once you've got it inserted, stick it back together, tighten your screws, and you're ready to roll.
Proper Use:
Once installed, properly holding the unit comes naturally. If you're using the finger rest, put your first two fingers above the rest, bottom two below. Where does your thumb go in this dance? Well, that depends on the rail, gun, and your personal style. Many shooters "in the know" like to wrap their thumb over the top of the rail, behind the front sight. On some taller rail systems, this is impossible/uncomfortable, so resting it along the side of the rail is my method. Honestly, try it out in different ways, and see what works for you. Different people have different shaped hands, and no one solution will work for everyone, so try it out and see which method you prefer.

Thumb resting on the side rail
So, why go with this over a standard vertical grip? Well, a standard VFG rests all of the weight on the very top of your hand and gets uncomfortable after time. Squeezing a narrow grip actually affects blood flow, doing wonky things to your accuracy. The AFG gives you a wide, comfortable reference point, resting the front weight of the gun across a larger surface area. You don't need to choke the hell out of the grip to keep it secure, the shape and angle does that for you. On real guns, the position of the rail helps tame recoil, giving you faster follow-up shots, but in airsoft, the real benefit is comfort and easily facilitating point shooting. You swing the gun where you think it needs to be, and voila, it is there.
It mounts up on all kinds of weapon systems, so you're not just limited to ARs. It actually works incredibly well on rail equipped AKs, as it's low profile design doesn't interfere with magazine changes, unlike most VFGs. The unique look and design really lend themselves well to "futuristic" weapon platforms, such as the G36 series. I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.
