Sig M-LOK Grip Kit

I hate SIG products. I find them derivative, off target to the market, their reputation for quality over hyped and under deserved.

And here I am reviewing a SIG product. The worst thing is how I feel about it for the money I paid.

Up front the kit was mis-priced at a local store and had twice the amount of rail panels compared to the description on the box. So, we're off to a good start. The question is, would I pay full price?

The kit retails for around $50 and should contain the vertical grip, three handstop/finger rests, one short and one long rail panel, and the mounting hardware.

The vertical grip has a very slight cant and is hollow like the Magpul MOE grip. The whole kit is very light weight, so if you like a light rifle, this is a much better option than an aluminum hand stop or an angled grip.

I used the vertical grip, two small rail sections, and the small finger shelf. The result is a comfortable grip that allows me to shoot fingers forward.

M-LOK can be a pain to install. SIG got this one right though, and coated each screw in a thin layer of thread locker. Mounting each section was quick and easy, with no need to play around with the depth of the screws.

After mounting that up, I had half of a box of panels and hand stops, enough to do at least another gun, if not two. Remember, my box seemed to contain more than the package suggested.

So, the $50 question, would I buy it with the normal amount of pieces and normal price? Considering how much I've spent on grips and hand stops, I absolutely would. It's a great value, even at twice the price.

I can't believe it. SIG finally made a product I can get behind.
