Ergo SureGrip Ambidextrous

The Ergo SureGrip was the original rubber-overmolded ergonomic AR pistol grip, predating the Magpul MOE and the entire current category of soft-feel AR grips. The body is reinforced polymer wrapped in a tacky rubber overmolding that fills the hand with finger grooves on the front strap and ambidextrous palm swells on both sides. The pitch sits at roughly 22 degrees, just steeper than an A2 but well short of the K2's 17, making it a comfortable middle ground for shooters transitioning off the mil-spec angle.

Finger grooves are the polarizing feature of this grip. For shooters whose hands match the spacing, the grooves are comfortable and promote consistent placement; for shooters whose hands don't fit, they force the hand into an awkward position. There is no way to know without trying one, but at the price point the experiment is cheap. The rubber overmolding is the consistent strength: tacky in wet conditions, comfortable for long shooting sessions, and forgiving on bare hands. Ambidextrous palm swells make this one of the few AR grips that genuinely fits both right- and left-handed shooters equally.

At $15-22 through OpticsPlanet, the SureGrip is one of the cheapest soft-feel AR grip upgrades available. It fits standard AR-15 and AR-10 receivers with a standard grip screw and washer. The SureGrip family also includes flat-top variants and the X-Grip extreme-texture version for shooters who want more aggressive surfacing. For most shooters, the standard SureGrip is the version to start with.
