TangoDown Stubby Vertical Fore Grip, Picatinny MIL-STD-1913, Waterproof Storage, Flat Dark EarthThe TangoDown Stubby Vertical Fore Grip, model BGV-MK46K, is the short version of TangoDown's well-known BGV-MK46 vertical grip. TangoDown built it for users who run a compact CQC-type carbine or PDW and want a strong point of control without extra length or weight. It is 3.43 inches long overall, weighs 2.56 ounces and is made in the USA. This listing is the Flat Dark Earth (FDE) version, TangoDown part number BGV-MK46K FDE.The Stubby mounts with TangoDown's Dual Locking Bar Mounting System, which is compatible with authentic MIL-STD-1913 Picatinny rails. TangoDown deletes the pressure switch pocket on this model to keep it lighter and shorter, and keeps the waterproof internal storage compartment with an o-ringed screw cap. Grip Chips are supplied with the grip.Keep your carbine compact and in control.

Cutting the length down to 3.43 inches keeps the grip from hanging far below the handguard, which helps when you move through tight spaces, work from vehicles or shoot from barricades and low positions. A shorter grip also leaves more room on a short handguard for a light, laser or hand stop.Built for Extended Support-Hand Shooting StylesMany modern shooters run their support hand far out on the handguard and use a vertical grip as an index point rather than a full handle. TangoDown designed the Stubby with this in mind. The reduced length and the deleted pressure switch pocket make it a lightweight, super strong point of control, especially with extended support-hand shooting styles. You can wrap your fingers around it, pinch it with a thumb-over grip, or pull rearward on it to drive the muzzle and control recoil.Dual Locking Bar Mounting SystemThe grip attaches with TangoDown's Dual Locking Bar Mounting System, which is compatible with authentic MIL-STD-1913 rails. Two locking bars engage the rail so the grip stays put under hard use. TangoDown notes that the Dual Locking Bar mount is capable of holding up to impact and to the punishing recoil and pump cycles of breaching shotguns. For buyers, that means a grip that does not walk on the rail or work loose after a range day.Well Suited to Breaching ShotgunsBeyond carbines and PDWs, TangoDown lists the BGV-MK46K as well suited to breaching shotguns. A short, strong vertical grip on a pump gun gives your support hand a positive surface for fast, hard pump strokes, and the locking bar mount is built to stay tight through that cycling and the recoil of full-power shells. If your shotgun has a compatible MIL-STD-1913 rail, the Stubby is a durable choice.Waterproof Internal StorageEven in its short configuration, the Stubby keeps a waterproof internal storage compartment closed by an o-ringed screw cap. The o-ring seal keeps water and dirt out of the compartment, so whatever small items you carry there stay dry and clean. TangoDown does not list a specific item the compartment is sized for, so check the fit of anything you plan to store.No Pressure Switch PocketTangoDown's full-length BGV-MK46 grip includes a pressure switch pocket. The Stubby BGV-MK46K deletes that pocket, which is part of how TangoDown keeps the grip short, light and strong. If you run a remote pressure switch for a light or laser, plan to mount the switch elsewhere on the handguard or choose a full-length grip.Grip Chips SuppliedTangoDown supplies Grip Chips with the BGV-MK46K. They come in the package with the grip, so you get them along with the grip itself.Flat Dark Earth ColorThis is the Flat Dark Earth version of the Stubby. TangoDown offers the BGV-MK46K in two colors, Black and FDE. FDE matches tan and earth-tone rifles, handguards and accessories and is a common choice on desert-themed and military-style builds. Shop more grips to match the rest of your setup.Daniel Defense RIS II NoteTangoDown notes that on Daniel Defense RIS II rails, the 6 o'clock rail is blocked at the front by the M203 40mm grenade launcher support ring. No MIL-STD-1913 accessory can slide on until four screws are removed so the 6 o'clock rail can separate from the handguard. Mount the grip, then put the rail back on and secure it with the four screws.About TangoDownTangoDown is a US company known for vertical grips, pistol grips, magazines and Vickers Tactical upgrades used by military, law enforcement and civilian shooters.
