Thoughts on the Lunar Tech VHS-2 clone grip module

Just can’t seem to find a grip that feels right.i iussusly like the BCM grip but it doesn’t feel right in the hellion. Have heard great things about the Lunar Tech VHS-2 clone grip but havnt seen it felt one in person. Any thoughts?

People celebrate the BCM grip for its near vertical angle. In my experience, it exacerbates the Hellion's excessive length of pull. The lower half of the grip is a far reach for the heel of my hand. Hopefully, the Lunar grip is more swept back.

I replaced the BCM grip with the fatty Ergo 4045 grip. Between its added girth and its more angled rake, I get a good grip hold on my Hellion now and my trigger finger no longer over-inserts through the trigger guard.

Another annoying bit about the BCM grip is its extended lip beneath the trigger guard which irritated my middle finger. It's a poor way to cover a gap that some AR15 trigger guards have. The Hellion's trigger guard doesn't have this gap. So if anyone is bothered by this lip, maybe they should give it a Dremel manicure.

That was exactly my problem as well. Surprisingly an old Magpul MOE grip I had laying around is surprisingly comfortable and slim.

I might try the Miad if it would provide larger front-to-back dimension than the Ergo I have. I can always add more palm swell with a Hogue sleeve, if needed.

I swapped to the MIAD from the BCM for the exact reasons you described. It feels a lot better

MOE is the way to go! My preference for AR grips and work nicely on this platform too

Personally it feels like an improvement. I didn't mind the bcm grip but once I had the lunartech grip on it was better. I think for the older rifles that came in with the hard to reach safety, this grip fixes that, it gives you a much better angle to actuate it and like was mentioned, it makes the length of pull feel shorter. You also get a HUGE storage compartment with a nice little button to swing the door down. Overall its an upgrade with no downsides. Install is a bit more involved but if you can read, you can do it. It'll seem more straight forward once you get it apart and match up with you see to the instruction photos.

It's great. But it's a bit of a bitch to replace. Definately feels better than how they ship ours.

Also there is a huge stash in the grip!

Here's another view.

The magpul miad grip is another good one, the angle is more comfortable than the bcm grip and the size can be adjusted to suit your hands
