Which do you prefer? I'll be putting one or the other on my AR, but can't decide which I prefer. Even with the VFG, I don't intend to use it like a pistol grip, but more like a hand-stop, with thumb still wrapped over the side/top of the handguard. I'm leaning toward one of the shorter VFG's like a magpul, but interested to hear what, if any, y'all prefer. Do you find one or the other more comfortable?

I was looking at the short magpul (above) as well as the short Tango Down vertical grips. really like the tango down since it has the removable end cap where you can store extra batteries if you have a light, or anything else relatively small...but it's 3x the price of the magpul so if I go with a vfg, I'll probably stick with it instead.

I prefer the VFG over the AFG. The AFG seems awkward to hold to me

Neither, those front grips make them look wayyyyyy too deadly. If someone would just start making them out of wood, they'd be a lot less intimidating

No gangster grip for me. Gets in the way. Here's the situation... incoming fire has the right of way.
Throw it up on the barrier or low wall or stick it out the window of building/truck, stick it around the corner, etc. snagging on stuff in general. Meh... I don't like to stick my hands/arms out. Gets in the way to me unless it is mounted far back. Far enough back that the magazine well ain't a lot different on a carbine. They have their place though if you are all cluttered up with night vision, etc.
The good news is this... cardboard don't shoot back.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.

This. I guess I shoulda said if I was gonna use one it would be the VFG. I place them so far to the rear they get in the way of opening the gun, so I just use the mag well too...

I run a short bcm on a 15" rail and use it as a handstop also. It gives me an index point
