Tactical grip for Pistol?
With the new rail systems available in pistols, does it make your pistol more controllable when you attach a vertical grip in front? I am thinking with a additional grip, extended ported barrel and extended magazine - we have the makings of a nice machine pistol.
Also is this legal? |

It's only legal if you get it licensed and pay a $200 tax to the Alphabet Boys.

Personally, I don't see the need for a vertical grip for a handgun.

Need? In the firearm world, it's generally more about wanting than needing.

The forward vertical grip does nothing to 'control' a handgun. It does make it harder to sight and shoot. Its legal, as mentioned, if you want to spend another $200. The darn thing looks SO 'tactical' though, I am sure many gear freaks will be buying them.

They already make a shoulder stock for it, which plugs into the hole in the grip's backstrap. Never used it; not sure if it's effective. Why on EARTH is it NFA to add a simple grip support to the front of a handgun? Are the BATFE types worried about how much more lethally accurate this would make a handgun? Puhlease. If you're legal to shoot someone, you're legal to shoot someone. And of course if you really wanted to do it effectively, you'd use a rifle, which of course can legally have stuff like that. Just more proof that the laws pertaining to guns are absurd on their face, in 99.9% of cases. -blackmind |
