NcStar VG117 1913 Short Vertical Grip - Black Polymer Tactical Accessory

The NcStar VG117 1913 short vertical grip brings modern ergonomic control to your rifle or carbine build without the bulk of a full-length forend grip. Mounted via the standard Picatinny rail, this black polymer vertical grip lets you anchor your support hand closer to the action for better recoil management and faster target transitions—especially valuable if your setup is already tight on rail real estate or you prefer a more compact platform. Whether you're running a tactical rifle, competition gun, or home-defense build, a quality vertical grip is a low-cost upgrade that noticeably improves weapon handling.

NcStar's VG117 keeps things simple: durable polymer construction that resists UV and impacts, a secure 1913 mounting system, and a design that works on any Picatinny-equipped upper receiver or handguard. It's the kind of no-fuss accessory that rewards you with better control without demanding attention or adding unnecessary weight.

If you're building an AR platform, modernizing a shotgun setup, or upgrading an existing tactical rifle, the NcStar vertical grip is a practical way to refine your gun's handling and ergonomics.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this vertical grip fit my AR-15 or AR-10?

Yes. The NcStar VG117 uses the standard 1913 Picatinny mounting system, so it will attach to any Picatinny rail on your upper receiver, handguard, or free-float tube.

What's the difference between a short and full-length vertical grip?

The short profile of the VG117 takes up less rail space, making it ideal if your handguard is already crowded with accessories like lights or lasers, or if you prefer a more compact gun. Full-length grips extend further forward and may offer slightly more hand purchase, depending on your hand size and grip preference.

Is this grip suitable for left-handed shooters?

A vertical grip is angle-neutral and works equally well for right and left-handed shooters, since both hands naturally anchor in a vertical or near-vertical position on the grip.
