Weapon System: AR15/ M16

Manufacturer: Magpul

Item Installed: MIAD-MIssion ADaptable Grip

Purpose of Item: The Magpul Mission Adaptable (MIAD) grip is a replacement for the standard A1 and A2 pistol grip that come on almost all military and commercially available AR15/ M16s.

The MIAD basic kit comes with two different front straps, and three different sized backstraps. The enhanced kit includes an additional front strap which uses a built in trigger guard that arches to allow for more room and removes the gap found between the trigger guard and pistol grip.

This allows for a custom fit that will size the grip to the individual shooter. It is commonly known that a pistol which fits a handgun shooter will increase the shooters abilities, resulting in less fatigue and an increase overall performance level. Granted, it may not be a massive leap forward, but there is no doubt that every bit helps. In much the same manner, sizing the grip to the individual shooter, I would expect an increase even if for no other reason that allowing a person to get their trigger finger to correctly fit on the trigger.

The MIAD also has a heavily textured grip on all surfaces (except trigger guard) allowing for an increased level of adhesion in hand to grip. This is something that people who carry a weapon for a living will appreciate in wet, cold, or other inclement weather or conditions which may allow the weapon to slide in the shooters hands.

Lastly, there is storage built in, with a secure core that locks in from the underneath. These cores are available to hold batteries, an AR15/ M16 bolt, or three bullets.
