BCM Gunfighter's Vertical Fore Grip

AR/M4 AR General Discussion
1

It’s not out just yet, but I thought I’d post a preview.

Hot on the heels of the BCM Gunfighter’s Pistol Grip is the Gunfighter’s Vertical Fore Grip from Bravo Company USA. It’s a straightforward vertical grip for the carbine with a storage compartment and a 5° angle that can be forward or rearward facing, depending on the user’s preference.

The BCM GVFG (Gunfighter’s Vertical ForeGrip) is an ergonomic foregrip that mounts to any handguard with a 1913 rail section. It measures about 4.6" tall, and has a flattened grip cross-section. The flattened grip cross section provides better rotational control of the grip than a round/cylindrical cross section when it’s used for controlling the weapon. The grip portion is about 1.75" on the long axis and 1.17" wide.

Thanks for the (per usual) informative article.

Any chance of a stubby version?

Seems kind of tall…have you had the opportunity to use it? Does it feel as tall as it looks (measures)?

4

Looks like good kit. I like the low profile locking screw and these look pretty lightweight. Does the 5° angle make a noticeable difference in handling?

5

i’m hoping for a stubby as well. no word on that.

it’s the same length (height) as the tangodown vertical grip and other standard grips - whether it’s too long depends on how you use it. personally, i prefer stubbies, but some still want a standard length vertical.

yes - the 5° does make a difference. it’s reversible so it’s mostly up to personal preference. i think it gives you a bit more leverage for controlling the weapon when moving it to the side, combined with the flatter profile.

Stubby…

edit: yes I do realize that it deletes the storage, it was a joke.

Well, darn. I’ve been looking to change out my pistol grips, the Gunfighter was a contender but MOA+ won because of the matching RVG (and cost.)

I like the cant, it seems it might make it easier to park it on a barrier. I would not object to losing the storage to make it a stubby, as I want as little weight forward as possible.

For a full size VFG, I’ll stick with KAC.

But if BCM would make a stubby…

I like this grip. It’s all good.

A short version would be much better.

It’s unfortunate that you need to sacrifice (hacksaw) the storage capability to bring this to a practical length, however without hands on, I’m just speculating.

12

I’m guessing there may be a Mod1 stubby, no?

13

If it were in a stubby version I’d seriously think aobut it. As is, its way too long.

14

Stubby version is in the works (have already seen it).

sweet.

Thanks for the inside track Grant.

17

Yeah. I hate anything on my bottom handguard, but I have no idea why any full shaft versions are being introduced anymore. :confused:

18

Nice. I’m changing a few things around over time and will hold out to get a look at this.

19

Looks cool. But I’ll stick with the Troy Modular.

This is just too easy to make sooooo many jokes about…

I’m interested in the 5° angle deal.

Would you mind giving a little more insight, MM, to this:

“The slight angle helps lock the hand higher up on the grip where it transitions to the rail.”

I use a VFG more for a handstop and barrier support more than anything else. Is that the context that you’re describing or more of a gripping the VFG and pulling the weapon into you?
