There are a lot of grip options for your favorite rifles. When building an AR pistol, a lot of those options disappear as adding a
Nightstrike Grips takes a stab at the market with their Sidewinder Grip. I mounted it on a small section of MLOK rail beneath my 6.5" V Seven Weapon Systems 300BLK barrel.
The Nightstrike FDE is close to the Magpul FDE and it looks great on the gun. The grip itself is a long, flat gripping surface capped by a forward finger hook. As I tend to shoot my rifles fingers forward, this made a lot of sense to me.
When I transitioned from a vertical grip on my rifles to the Magpul AFG back in the day, it felt odd for a while, like I didn't know where my hand or fingers went on the gun. Getting on the Sidewinder was much the same.
It took me a few weeks of presentations and up drills to get my hand placement down, but once I did the grip felt great. It points naturally, and is compact and stays out of the way. As this pistol is normally stored in a go bag, having a low profile grip is a good addition.
I've been running the Sidewinder with a brace from Cain Arms, and although the grip points better on a longer brace, such as an SBA3, I am hooked on the ultra light weight setup the Nightstrike and Cain Arms setup provides.
The Nightstrike Sidewinder is well built out of rugged polymer, with a ribbed texture. If you are looking for an ergonomic angled grip for your rifle or pistol, take a look at the Sidewinder from Nightstrike Grips.
