Why we like these:
These grips just feel right. It's hard to describe. When you grip them they really grip you right back. For us, it feels like these were custom molded to fit our hands.
Our favorite features about these:
- The shape and angle- These still have the more aggressive angle we prefer from other grips, as well as a bit of a palm swell and little thumb rest. It's kind of hard to describe until you have one in your hands.
- The texture- The texture is fairly aggressive, but what's unique about these is that, due to them being 3D printed, the texture is fully wrapped around the grip. You can generally only achieve this by having a grip custom stippled. The 360 degree texture is immediately noticeable and really grips you back when you hold it.
- The storage plate- We love storing stuff in the grip. Batteries, lube, Slim Jims cut into tiny pieces like dog treats, you name it. These grips fit an 18650 battery perfectly, which is what we like to store as a backup for our Streamlight ProTac. You'll need to stuff something else in there to keep it from moving, but this should give you an idea of the amount of room you have to work with in the grip.
Notes:
These are the "compact" size, and were the initial size Emissary Development offered in their new line of AR-15 grips. We have 'medium' sized hands and for us the size of this grip is absolutely perfect. See the product photos for a size comparison between these and the BCM and B5 grips for reference.
Although Emissary is coming out with an 'aggressive texture,' we are choosing to only carry the standard texture for now. But trust us, the texture is very noticeable.
