Grip Descriptions
Driven Arms Beavertail Vertical Crossover Grip, VCG-L
The VCG-L features a beavertail and a bit more girth that you’ll love getting your hand on. Moving your hand rearward approximately 0.2″ is a small change that makes a big difference for your precision rig trigger control and comfort. Proprietary anti-slip textures help to further lock your hand in place while also providing channels for sweat and debris to vent or escape. Overall width is also increased from standard AR compatible offerings via palm swell sections, contributing more surface area for improved purchase and general comfort. For comparison, the width of the VCG sits at ~1.45” whereas the popular Magpul K2+ is 1.2”
Beyond the external features, the VCG also features a unique interior geometry, bringing strength and rigidity to the larger profile, without the usual increase in weight that would accompany it. The VCG-L weighs 2.2oz with hardware.
MKM Ultralight Compact Grip, ULCG
The Ultralight Compact Grip (ULCG) provides users an ergonomic and “low-drag” profile at a vastly lower weight than comparable products. Weighing just over *30 grams sans hardware, the ULCG features a shallow grip angle of 10.4° for greater comfort and control, particularly with shorter rifle & pistol setups. This is especially useful for those utilizing a compact “CQB” style stance. Greater comfort and control leads to improved accuracy.
Unique internal geometry brings surprising strength and rigidity to the ULCG with a minimal amount of material usage. Grips feel surprisingly stiff at this weight and do not flex when squeezed.
Driven Arms Utility Compact Grip (Gen 2), Apex
The Utility Compact Grip (Gen 2) - Apex features a low drag, compact profile that maintains the same width, front-strap + back-strap geometry, and forward anti slip ledge of the original ULCG, but now features increased surface area and an optimized contact patch for the lower rear of your palm, increasing leverage and improving long term operating comfort.
The geometry change on the bottom also allowed for a fresh take on the integrated storage system. The included removable floorplate is easier to utilize, especially with gloves.
Driven Arms SCG Atom
The SCG (Shadow Crossover Grip) Atom texture balances bite, traction, and sustainable long term comfort and is one of the most popular textures offered by Driven Arms. It features a 16° grip angle for balanced ergonomics, leverage during manipulations, and long term operating comfort as well as a tapered profile and flared lower ledge for improved hand placement, support and control in all positions.

Magpul MOE-K
Designed as a drop-in upgrade for the standard AR15/M4 pistol grip, the MOE-K Grip provides an extremely low profile and compact design with a steeper grip angle compared to more traditional styles. The more vertical grip angle is optimized for use on PDW (Personal Defense Weapon) configurations and improves comfort and control on short LOP rifles that bring the primary hand in closer to the shooter's body. The thin profile and lack of backstrap 'beavertail' also makes it an excellent choice for shooters who prefer a smaller grip circumference.
