Yep, I like it for control. I don't hold it like a beer can, I keep my pinkie and ring fingers on it with my middle and index wrapped around the forearm, thumb points forward if you can picture that. I think some people just like them because they are a doodad and out of movies, but I like to be able to apply rearward pressure into my shoulder with my off hand without worrying about it slipping.

I find it to be more comfortable...and it looks cool.

I figured this was the answer more than anything. I've used them both a lot on full auto and see the value there, but I'm suprised about it being a control issue with a semi. The 223/5.56 just isnt that wild of a round IMO.

MEGA upper/lower, Geissele match trigger, DMS-1 w/LaRue SPR, TAC-16, Bobro Shorty, Magpul UBR, laRue 11.0" rail, Young National Match Chrome bolt/carrier, etc. Oh, adn the gayest sheets known to mankind thanks to my wife - just be glad I didn't post pics with the other side which is nothing but gigantic flowers.:(

Yup, there is a 'tacticool' factor.

Thanks, a very curious Tom.

Upper, bolt and carrier are different than the standard AR(LH ejection) all the other parts are standard. The dust cover is mounted to flip up instead of down.
for a lefty , it is a dream to shoot.

I've only used an AR with a vertical grip once, and it wasn't the recoil that was being controlled so much as the movement of the rifle. The way it was taught was that it gave you an advantage in moving the muzzle quickly from target to target. Again, this was in competition shooting, and I won't pretend to understand combat beyond saying it sounds like the concept is transferable to real fighting instead of shooting paper or steel.

That M&P was my first choice, but I ended up going with the Rock River Arms civilian version of the DEA Carbine.

I can take pictures when I get home.

Been doing some searching of Stag now. Definitely gotta have one before November. My pay plan has several bonus's that would buy one. Poor sales staff won't know why I have the spurs dug in so hard.
