Stubby Vertical Grips – Compact AR-15 Foregrips for M-LOK & More
Stubby Vertical Grips – Compact Control for AR-15 & Tactical Rifles
When speed, control, and maneuverability matter, a stubby vertical grip offers the perfect upgrade. These compact foregrips provide the same functional benefits as full-length grips—recoil control, grip stability, and support—without adding unnecessary bulk to your rifle.
At Mounts Plus, we stock a curated selection of stubby grips for AR-15s and tactical platforms, including models compatible with M-LOK, KeyMod, and Picatinny rail systems. Whether you're building a CQB carbine, outfitting a lightweight SBR, or optimizing your rifle for fast transitions, a stubby vertical grip gives you compact power and confidence.
🔧 Why Choose a Stubby Vertical Grip?
Stubby grips are a go-to choice for shooters who prioritize compact builds and quick handling. Compared to traditional vertical grips, stubby models are:
- More maneuverable in close-quarters or tight environments
- Lower profile, reducing snagging on gear or barriers
- Ergonomically efficient, supporting natural wrist alignment
- Lightweight without sacrificing control
- Better for angled or thumb-over-bore shooting styles
They're ideal for dynamic shooting, home defense, range work, and anyone who wants a cleaner, more streamlined rifle profile.
🧩 Mounting Systems for Every Build
Our stubby vertical grips come ready for all major handguard systems:
- M-LOK Stubby Grips – Easy to install and ultra-light
- Picatinny Stubby Grips – Rock-solid and time-tested
- KeyMod Stubby Grips – Slim and versatile with modern styling
We also carry hybrid models that support multiple platforms, giving you more flexibility for future upgrades or builds.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions
What’s the difference between a stubby grip and a full-size vertical grip?
Stubby grips are shorter, lighter, and lower-profile than full-size vertical grips. They're easier to handle in tight spaces and better for rapid shooting styles.
Can I use a stubby vertical grip on an AR pistol?
Vertical grips on AR pistols may reclassify the firearm as an AOW (Any Other Weapon) under the NFA. Always check federal and local regulations before adding one.
Do stubby grips help with recoil control?
Yes, they provide a firm support-hand position that improves recoil management, especially in rapid or suppressed fire.
Which mounting type should I choose?
If your handguard has M-LOK, go with an M-LOK grip. For older or military-style builds, Picatinny is a reliable option. KeyMod is also effective and compatible with many lightweight rails.
Are stubby grips available in aluminum?
Yes, several of our models are made from aircraft-grade aluminum for maximum strength and durability.
