F.A.B. Defense Introduces The Gradus-X Ergonomic Grip

FAB Defense have launched an all polymer version of their Gradus pistol grip. The Gradus-X is an ergonomic grip designed for rifles that use AR pattern pistol grips. It has a palm swell and a 15 degree grip angle which FAB Defense say reduces hand and wrist strain. It is available in three colors: black, olive drab green and flat dark earth. Perhaps the main draw of the Gradus-X over the original, rubberised Gradus, is that the Gradus-X retails at $11.99 MSRP, while the Gradus comes in at $25.99. So if you're in the market for an economical, slightly different, ergonomic grip for your AR, the Gradus-X may fit the bill.


FAB Defense @ TFB:


Heres what FAB Defense have to say about the Gradus-X:

“F.A.B. Defense® is pleased to announce the Gradus-X ergonomic polymer AR-15 grip as the latest addition to the Gradus line of accessories. The Gradus-X is in full production and is now available to dealers and manufacturers worldwide. 
The FAB Defense Gradus-X is an all-polymer version of the popular rubberized Gradus Grip. The Gradus-X is a flat beavertail ergonomic AR-15 pistol grip constructed with a textured polymer, providing a solid gripping surface in a variety of environmental conditions. Featuring a reduced 15 degree grip angle, the Gradus-X relieves stress on your hand and wrist over long term use while improving the natural point of aim, overall comfort, and smoother transitioning to various shooting positions.
Designed with the OEM user in mind, the Gradus-X is economically priced and can be customized with the contract manufacturer logo with MOQ’s (Minimum Order Quantities) as small as 1000 grips.”

    I dont like how they look on my rifle, but they sure work and feel good (rubberized version).

    Someone did their homework on the ergonomics of this pistol grip.

      Agreed. I don't have one, but a guy at a match let me check out his rifle and I will say that grip was very comfy.
