Why the need for a “Compliant Rifle Grip”
Per recent California law, centerfire AR-15 rifles with bullet buttons are now considered assault weapons and must be registered before June 30th, 2018. Converting your rifle to a “featureless” rifle will mean that you will NOT be required to register it as an assault weapon. A “featureless” rifle is a fully functional rifle without the generic characteristics (or features) that define an assault weapon (such as a pistol grip, flash suppressor, telescoping stock, etc.). A “featureless” centerfire AR-15 rifle CAN have a normal and fully functional magazine release. Our CRG-15 rifle grip does NOT meet the California definition of a pistol grip (see details below*) due to the “forced” placement of the web of the trigger hand; therefore, we have classified this product as a “Compliant Rifle Grip”. The CRG-15 grip is an important aspect in the building of a “featureless” rifle.
Why the CRG-15 Rifle Grip
There are other options to eliminating the pistol grip on your rifle to make it compliant or “featureless”, but many of them are not comfortable or functional such as kydex grip wraps or grip fins. Many also don’t look very good, or are downright ugly! Others are very expensive and difficult to change back if you want to go shooting in another state. In contrast, our CRG-15 rifle grip is very affordable and only requires one screw to install. We also designed it to be as comfortable and functional as possible, while keeping consistent with the modern look of the AR-15 platform (it matches other premium furniture already on your rifle). We believe our CRG-15 rifle grip is the highest quality, the best value, the best looking, and the most comfortable “non-pistol” grip available… we hope you agree!
Disclaimer:
We are not lawyers, and this is not legal advice. This and similar products have not been approved by the California Department of Justice. Even so, our attorneys, Michel & Associates P.C., prepared an analysis of the CRG-15 rifle grip and wrote an opinion stating that it is not a “pistol grip that protrudes conspicuously beneath the action of the weapon,” as that term is used in the definition of an “assault weapon” under California Penal Code section 30515(a)(1).
*Definition per State of California’s “Assault Weapons Identification Guide”, 3rd Edition, November 2001, page 80: “Pistol Grip, conspicuously protruding: A grip that allows for a pistol style grasp in which the web of the trigger hand (between the thumb and index finger) can be placed below the top of the exposed portion of the trigger while firing.”

grip performance
This grip is so good that I actually use it over the pistol grip in a non-compliant state. The pistol grip has always been limited in grip strength because of its more vertical nature, forcing the top of the wrist to do much of the supporting. This grip is supported by the fingers UNDERNEATH it, much like any object would actually be held. And for a low carry or a vertical snap-up shot at a balcony shooter, it is clearly superior. The only small, but real, limitation is near the end of the upper receiver with its sharp edges. Grabbing your rifle quickly can take some skin off. Just keep the grip in line and this no problem.
USExcellent Value
Easy ordering, some difficulty with format of placing the order, ultimately ending up with the wrong color, which changed my design, because even after contacting them early, they could not change my order .It turned out OK though and they offered a discount. Overall, I am satisfied and would use them again

Great grip for any featureless build
Its honestly more comfortable than you'd think just by looking at it. Compared to fin grips or mag locks this has been a better choice thus far.
USAwesome lookin product
It feels and looks great as the picture. Color matches pic. Arrived fast.
USDamn California
It is uncomfortable to hold the rifle. There is a weird feeling it is unnatural when switching the safety lever and mag release. Only in California...
