[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 956635, member: 1132"] By getting the hand as close to on top of the rifle as possible (along with further forward), it's claimed that recoil control and pointability is increased. Also, they claim that by pointing the thumb forward (and some point the index finger as well), target transitions are smoother and the end of the transition is more likely to be aligned with the target. It's claimed that these theories are supported by better hits and speed in testing. You can see how the fingers are bunched by the hand stop, and even more so by the VFG. This reduces how much pressure can be exerted with the support hand. Looking at the hand position on the AFG, it's more natural. Just like with the thumbs high forward pistol grip technique, the support hand is doing most of the work in gripping the rifle. It's also driving the gun. As sumoj stated, I like to curl my pinkie into the opening at the bottom rear of the grip. I haven't yet had a chance to run this setup hard, but my initial impression was that it instantly felt more natural and controllable than my Larue FUG. It also allows me to get much further forward on the short carbine forend, which is why I put it on there and left the FUG on my longer rail, for now. I can see replacing my FUG in the future on my Noveske upper, I'm just concentrating on other things right now. At $35 retail, if you didn't like it it would be easy to recoup your investment before the market gets saturated with them. Of course warming to the new idea may be effected by how much $$$ you have invested in other systems. :) [/QUOTE]
