When I first got to the desert the quick and dirty CQB class from the MPRI guys never mentioned a proper grip to use while a VFG was mounted. Most guys went "full retard" just because it seemed that that's what it was for.

Now days, I've found that the most effective way for me to use a VFG is to just use it as an index point to emulate the magwell grip from. This works well on my shorter AR without a ton of weight up front. If I had more weight riding forward on the weapon I'd push the grip out a little further to keep me from fighting the inertia during quick left/right target transitions.

The magpul AFG has me interested, but I really need to get my hands on one before I drop the $30 on it, as I'm too broke to be spending money on anything but ammo for practice. I've found that most magpul products end up doing everything I want and more, so I'm not that concerned, but again, $30 is a bit of coin to someone who is out of work.

I'd like to hear any more feedback from guys using the AFG.
