As you know, shooters come in all shapes and sizes, and with different needs. What works for one person may not work for another. Thankfully, grips—whether they’re pistol grips or vertical foregrips—make a real difference when it comes to weapon control and shooting comfort. And more control means better accuracy. Handguards offer shooters a place to mount accessories—lights, lasers, slings and bipods, to name just a few—in just the right location. That’s why we’ve rounded up some of the best grips and rails to consider adding to your favorite AR.
