Short Vertical Grips – Compact Control for AR-15 & Tactical Rifles
Looking for a grip that adds control without the bulk? A short vertical grip—also known as a stubby vertical foregrip—offers the perfect combination of stability, compact size, and streamlined handling. Whether you're running an SBR, a lightweight AR-15, or a close-quarters tactical rifle, a short grip enhances maneuverability without getting in your way.
At Mounts Plus, we stock a wide variety of stubby vertical grips for M-LOK, KeyMod, and Picatinny rail systems. These grips are designed for fast-paced shooting, efficient weapon control, and maximum comfort—all in a compact, durable form.
🔧 Why Choose a Short Vertical Grip?
Short vertical grips deliver all the benefits of traditional foregrips with less weight and bulk. Ideal for shooters who prioritize speed and agility, these grips provide:
-
Improved recoil control in rapid fire or suppressed shooting
-
Faster transitions between targets and smoother movement
-
Lower profile for compact builds and AR pistols
-
Enhanced wrist ergonomics in tight shooting positions
-
Reduced snagging on gear or clothing in tactical environments
Whether you're upgrading your duty rifle or fine-tuning a home-defense setup, short vertical grips offer the balance you need.

🚨 Legal Reminder: Vertical Grips on AR Pistols
Be aware—installing a vertical foregrip on an AR pistol may reclassify it as an NFA-regulated firearm (AOW). If you’re unsure, consult current ATF guidance or consider an angled foregrip instead.
❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the benefit of a stubby vertical grip vs. a full-size grip?
Stubby grips offer better maneuverability and a more compact profile, especially useful on short-barreled rifles or pistols. They still provide plenty of control without the bulk of a full-length grip.
Are short vertical grips legal on AR pistols?
Generally, no. Attaching a vertical grip to an AR pistol may classify it as an AOW under the NFA. Check federal and local laws before adding one to a pistol platform.
What mounting systems are available for short vertical grips?
We carry short grips for M-LOK, KeyMod, and Picatinny rails. Some models even support multiple mounting standards with included adapters.
Do stubby grips help with recoil?
Yes, they provide a solid contact point for your support hand, improving control during rapid fire and reducing muzzle movement.
What’s the best short grip for lightweight builds?
Aluminum models like the Samson Short Grip or Timber Creek Enforcer offer a great blend of strength and low weight for minimalist rifles.
