TangoDown Battlegrip BG-17 Large FDE
The TangoDown Battlegrip BG-17 Large in Flat Dark Earth is a purpose-built pistol grip for shooters with larger hands who demand comfort and control on the rifle range or in the field. Built for AR-15, M16, M4, and AR-10 platform rifles—including MK16S, MK17S, SR-25, and MK11 variants—this oversized grip delivers the ergonomic advantage of an extended back strap and beavertail design that larger-handed operators often need. The aggressive texture ensures a secure, non-slip purchase even in wet conditions, while the 27-degree grip angle complements the natural point of aim for most shooters.
Recoil management matters, especially on harder-kicking rifles like .308 and 7.62mm builds. The BG-17's soft, comfortable polymer absorbs punishment without sacrificing durability—this is injection-molded, heat and impact-modified thermoplastic built to take years of hard use. The internal storage compartment is a genuine bonus: stash batteries, small tools, cleaning patches, or even a complete M4 bolt assembly inside without adding bulk to your kit.
Installation is straightforward. TangoDown includes a stainless steel fastener tool and complete instructions, so you can swap it out on any M16/AR-15-pattern lower in minutes. The Flat Dark Earth finish matches modern tactical furniture and blends naturally in the field. This is a grip for serious shooters who won't compromise on hand comfort or build quality.
