Magpul MIAD Pistol Grip


The MIAD pistol grip form magpul seems to be every bit worth the 35 bucks or so that it sells for. While most modern grips offer a storage compartment and good ergonomics the Magpul MIAD offers so much more for a great price. In the box you get three different back straps, two different front straps, a bottom plate insert, the grip, a mounting screw, literature, and a Magpul sticker.
The three different back straps give you a varied grip size so that you can try different grip sizes. The two larger grips also have a tail of sorts off the back to keep your large hand in a comfy pocket. The rear back strap can be removed at any time even if the grip is mounted to the firearm. The two front strap basically only consist of one with an index finger stop and one just textured. Other front straps can be purchased separately. The front strap can only be changed when the grip is off the firearm.
The bottom plate insert that comes with the Magpul Miad grip has a small rubber insert that will hold three rounds of 5.56×45. A cool feature though is that you can purchase other bottom plate inserts that will hold either two 123 batteries or an extra bolt and firing pin.
The Magpul MIAD also comes in 4 different colors, black, foliage green, flat dark earth, and OD green. The textured hard plastic surface seems to grips fairly well actually and is nice in very hot and very cold environments as it doesn’t hold a particular temperature too long.
