    Trigger warning.


    Rob Ski is the man! Consistent hits at 600+ yards with an AK ... I can taste the Fudd tears from here.

    His is one of the most enviable home ranges in existence, as well.

    Strike Industries has came out with this new pistol grip.
    What do you AK enthusiasts think? Good, or Bad?

    I haven't tried one. Most of my AKs have whatever came on them when bought from the factory. My surplus kit guns have their prospective grips. I like the look of the traditional AK grip like the bakelite but I don't like the feel. My Hungarian grip is similar in shape and feel to my WBP Jack. My Zastava and WASR have US Palm grips which I'm a big fan. Those feel awesome but don't quite match the classic AK look.

    Seems like a solution to a problem that doesn't exist. I've never had a complaint about angles of AK grips. Surplus stuff works just fine, and there are already a million aftermarket options of various quality.

    Looking at this I feel like it would break pretty easily.

    Other options are always good, but I personally never seen too much of an issue with the angle. Maybe some folks do?

    Now grip features is another thing.
    My grips

    Ar’s
    Magpul moe rubberized

    Ak’s
    Molot grip
    Ak 12 grip
    Izhmash ak9,style kvar / kusa grip

    The Ak12 grip has replaced many of the other Ak grips I use. My hand fits right onto it perfectly but comes at a cost $$$

    I feel like the US Palm grip is swept more rearward than a bakelite. That may be just in my head though. I've never measured angles or stacked a couple on top of each other to see. The US Palm definitely fills my hand better. The bakelite feels thin and skinny

    I ordered some more of the Barnaul ammo from Target Sports. Where the hell did they get all of this. It is still showing 99+ available.

    Polish fatties are my favorite surplus grips. US Palms are my favorite aftermarket grips - and yes, they do feel a bit more angled rearward but that may be due to the palm swell contour. They definitely fit better in medium to larger hands.

    The spam cans? They must have bought an entire container ship of that stuff after the sloppy Joe ban. TSUSA's warehouse is enormous.
