Control and ergonomics matter more than cosmetics when configuring an AR platform for duty, competition, or range work. A properly shaped pistol grip changes how you manage recoil, manipulate controls, and maintain a repeatable hand position under stress.

HOGUE MODULAR OVERMOLDED is a precision-fit, modular pistol grip designed specifically for AR-15/M16 style rifles. The Hogue design uses overmolded rubber in Flat Dark Earth with a cobblestone texture that gives a non-slip, non-irritating grip surface while remaining virtually impervious to common oils and solvents found around firearms.

Key features and modular options

The HOGUE MODULAR OVERMOLDED includes 1 main grip body, two fronstraps (with and without finger grooves), two backstraps (with and without beavertail), and installation hardware so you can tailor angle and profile to your preferred grip. The grip’s 17 design provides a more vertical grip angle than the standard A2, improving trigger control and natural pointing for many shooters. Cobblestone texture balances traction with comfort for extended use.

Materials and durability

Constructed from modern overmolded rubber, this grip resists oils and solvents, which preserves texture and feel in workshop or field conditions. The Flat Dark Earth finish integrates visually with common chassis and furniture options while remaining low-glare and tactical. This product falls under the Ar Pistol Grips category and is ideal for operators who want durable, adaptable ergonomics at a reasonable price point — $33.96 at the time of posting.

Fit, installation, and use cases

Installation is straightforward with included hardware; swapping fronstraps and backstraps lets you refine finger purchase and beavertail support without buying a new grip. The more vertical 17 grip geometry benefits disciplined trigger finger placement for precision shooters while still supporting rapid transitions for tactical use. Hogue’s reputation for durable, user-focused grips makes this an easy upgrade for service rifles, patrol guns, and training rifles.

For a low-cost, high-impact ergonomic upgrade to your AR-15/M16-style rifle, the HOGUE MODULAR OVERMOLDED delivers versatile fit options, solvent-resistant materials, and a tactically beneficial grip angle.
