I had a friend who freaked out when the HK grip was mostly vertical, he wasted $100+ on importing one as if it would make a difference
I kept teasing him about it for a long time afterward, he spent all that money and he's STILL missing.
I really loved magpul's biz back in the day, at least. I suspect they literally lost all the doers and thinkers 10 years ago, because they're basically an apparel company now.
