I'm just curious as to the pros and cons of each type of way to hold an ar. I keep seeing the magpul thumb over technique being described but I feel like it leaves my body way too outstreached. I bet it works awesome for competition but is it really applicable for a real life self defense situation? What are are boys over seas being taught? Is the magwell hold really that bad?
