This grip is alright. I went to Gi and was looking around and then just decided to buy it and I kind of regret it. The folding feature isn't as amazing as I thought and now that I got my magpul afg I wont be using this anymore...
Pros:
It's fairly comfortable
Can turn to angled grip if wanted because it locks at each 45 degree angle
Not too expensive
Battery compartment
Cons:
Kinda wobbly
The pressure pad housing for a flashlight doesn't work in my utg light or my friends night evolution and I don't think it will work with other lights either
The idea of a folding grip is great, but it's difficult to pull off. As you may find with many low-priced equipments like this grip, it's a cool concept without the design/material quality to fulfill expectations. This grip's folding function is great because it can go in either direction, and the pressure switch space is a neat concept, however it lacks some of the most important aspects of an effective vertical grip: stability. The attachment space is a little wider than most rails and thus the actual attachment of the grip is meager at best. The only Airsoft gun that has accepted this grip with acceptably neglible wobble is a High Capa 7.1, for which a grip is completely useless. On an LCT AK, UTG L96, Classic Army M15A4, and APS UAR, this grip is wobbly and audibly so. The joint of the grip is also incapable of securing it in any position, and the combined wobble of the grip joint and the rail interface make this thing noisy and shoddy-looking/feeling. Not a good buy in my opinion, but it IS cheap and it MAY work on your model's RIS.
Pros:
Cool folding function
Budget
Simple Attachment
Cons:
Cheap Plastic
Obvious Seems
Wobbly Folding Joint
Poor Rail Cutting
While others have given this a fairly critical review, for the price it met all of my expectations. I don't use a flashlight or anything else that might want for the pressure pad housing, so I really cannot comment on how useful that is. This grip did everything I needed it to: it's sturdy, it folds easily for compact storage and it locks at every 45-degree angle for versatility. For the price, you can't go wrong.
Pros:
-Solid construction
-Comfortable grip
-Battery compartment is nice to store extra batteries for my red/green dot sight
-Locking at every 45-degree angle is nice for those rare situations when that's advantageous
Cons:
-Others have complained about the pressure pad housing not working, though I personally cannot speak to that as I have no use of it and haven't tested it
-Battery compartment cover threading is easily stripped
