When it comes to AR-15 rifles, I’ve always taken the “black rifle” theme to heart and accessorized my rifles accordingly. While this style has always appealed to me, I realize that to some it may be a bit boring. So, I’ve decided to ease into the the world of more colorful AR-15 rifles by introducing some flat dark earth to my Smith & Wesson M&P15T. Thanks to some new products from Hexmag, this transition has been painless.
Allow me to introduce you to my Smith & Wesson M&P15T, which is now equipped with the Hexmag Tactical Grip, Low-Profile Rail Covers, and Series 2 Magazine. All three accessories are in Hexmag’s FDE.
The Hexmag Tactical Grip (HTG) is an overmolded rubber grip that features the iconic HEXTURE™ design patterned texture. It also features ergonomic finger grooves that actually are ergonomic! This grip is also compatible with Hexmag Grip Tape, which I haven’t yet applied.
I realize that when it comes to AR-15 grips, what is comfortable varies from person to person. So, I’ll just say this… The HTG feels absolutely perfect in my hand. In fact, I like it so much that I’ll be installing another HTG on a different AR-15. Stay tuned for photos!
