Are those Surefire mags heavy?

[GunWebsites]

@Excalibur01

no

[Excalibur01]

@GunWebsites Even the 100 round one? That's more than 3 mags together

[GunWebsites]

@Excalibur01

nope

Can't really shoot this way with lefties, the casing will fly against my arm. Might work on my lefty stag arms.

@cloop77

well I know a few left handed folks who do pretty well with this one, give it a try

[joeteixido]

For some reason this feels wrong on me. Believe me I tried, same happened when the front grips started coming up and it took me a bit to get used to... but I did. Now this... it really doesn't feel fine. I find myself strained to keep the position, and depending what weapon system you are using it might mess up with your post sight (G3) although it is fine on my Ar-15. BTW I´m former military, I shot the heck out of everything they handed to me (just saying before I get flamed). Nice video tho

@joeteixido

if you feel bad doing it, you might be doing it wrong..

If you really want to give it an honest try, you might attend a class or shooting event where they use this one to get some real instruction, not just these talking points

.. but do what you want

[benjaSalonika]

@GunWebsites doesn't your thumb in the upper rail prevents you from seeng your target ?

[Noobpatty]

this guys pretty fast on the trigger. 6 rounds in one second impressive

[nitroxide17]

Simple leverage...

[wayne1one]

M&P !!! nice choice as a sidearm!

[holdfastgreg]

+1 for the fact you mention theres more then one way to skin a cat. I can see this technique being golden in competitive shooting, open fields and/or anywhere with open field of view. I have not tried this c-grip yet but I'm not sure I would feel more comfortable in a tight place such as hallways and tight corners where you can't exactly slice the pie. This may just be more one tool in the bag. kudos!

Jerry Miculek does the very same hold and he is a world class f-a-s-t champion so You are right on.

Just a little heads up for anyone out there considering the Angled Fore Grip. It is really only best if you are running a rail system. I tried to mount mine one on my AR that has just the magpul handguard and it was not far enough down my barrel to be effective. Just something to keep in mind if you are considering trying the AFG/hand over bore technique. Everyone is different though.

Is that a Trijicon red-dot? What's your opinion on those?
