It will be hard not to be biased with this review considering I own three of these foregrips. Originally my son purchased a foregrip for his Ruger 10/22. After shooting his rifle, I liked the feel of the grip and am always looking to add some bling to my rifles. So, I started looking for a foregrip for my rifle. The issue I had with my son's first grip was that it was not a foldable grip and caused his rifle to no longer fit in our current gun cases with the foregrip installed. While we were at a gun show, I checked out the UTG Foldable Foregrip and made my purchase. I think the price I paid for my first foregrip at the gun show was $25. You can buy them now at Amazon.com for $16.95 plus S&H or BotachTactical.com for $15 plus S&H. The photo below is the grip inside the packaging.
These two photos are of the front and back of the cardboard backer and show UTG's basic advertising information. You can get this same information at their website.
This foregrip comes fully assembled and included is an Allen wrench for installation.
When you remove the bottom cap, you can remove the two sides to install a pressure switch housing on either side of the grip.
The compartment in the grip holds two 123A batteries.
The end cap spring keeps the two batteries from rattling and the o-ring makes the compartment water tight. It is difficult to get the cap back on with two batteries because you have to apply pressure to compress the spring and then screw it in at the same time. Make sure you start the threads properly because the plastic threads are easy to get cross threaded.
The next photo shows the foregrip in it's basic vertical configuration.
By pressing the button at the pivot, the foregrip can rotate about 45 degrees in either direction.
It can also rotate to what I 'm going to call a fully collapsed position in either direction.
The grip weighs in at 5.47 ounces.
I have shown the grip installed on my Ruger 10/22. Also in the photo the is UTG Tactical OP-1 Bipod that I reviewed last week. You will probably also notice that I have the UTG quad rail on this rifle. Don't worry, I don't work for UTG. I just believe that UTG offers some great value items and have purchased them over the years.
These are my three UTG Foldable Foregrips installed on my AR-15, my son's 10/22, and my 10/22.
Bottom Line:
I believe that the UTG Foldable Foregrip offers quality, features, and value. Would I recommend this foregrip? Yes, I already own three.
