| Review: |
great grip.i got it because when i owned my a-5 i hated the stock grip. It is much more comfortable than the stock grip and is made of better material. I could only fit 3 fingers around the stock grip and i can firmly put my hand around this one with room to spare. This grip also looks cool on the a-5. However, when i put it on it was VERY loose. i had to put about 8 or 9 nuts on it to prevent it from falling off in the middle of a game. But, after that, it was well worth the $15. |
|
| Conclusion: |
great grip. get it for more comfort. not a 10 because of the looseness. |

| Review: |
I put this on my A-5 and really enjoy it. It is much easier to hold on to than the stock grip. It is a lot more durable than the plastic stock grip and I can't tell any weight difference between the DOP and the stock grip. It is more round than the stock grip and fits good in your hands. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Get this product, you won't regret it. I got my about a month ago and really enjoy it. The stock grip will never go back on my A-5. I think it looks better on the A-5 than the stock grip too. |

|
| Review: |
I bought this grip actually for my hammer system. i wanted something longer and more sturdy than the stock plastic grip. it is a great grip when it stays tight. i had it on my a-5 for a while and it got annoying if i truned it a little. i would suggest putting a little teflon tape on the threads to help keep it more sucure to the marker since it doesn't have the grove on it like the stock handle. |
|
| Conclusion: |
i love it on the Hammer. i say buy it. it helps keep better control of the gun. |

|
| Strengths: |
Aluminum
longer than stock grip
|
|
| Weaknesses: |
thin diameter
doesn't look like it belongs on an A-5 |
|
| Review: |
This is an odd style for an A-5 in my opinion. Doesn't look like it was made for it.
Though it is longer than the stock one it's small diameter counters it I believe.
Going from to short (stock) to small diameter doesn't seem to help much for me
at least. Though the finger grooves are more comfortable style.
The main gripe I have with this product is it does not stay screwed in without
washers (as I have read from others as well) or something to keep it in place over any period of play.
Otherwise my other gripes are just preference.
|
|
| Conclusion: |
I you don't mind the style or having to find a way to keep this grip tight
then look into getting it and it's reasonably priced. |

|
| Review: |
This grip allows for more control over the front end of your gun. It is in my opinion sturdier than the stock grip. For those of us who play speed-ball with A-5's you can get the grip in closer to your gun and allow you to keep your hands and body in tight. |
|
| Conclusion: |
This product allows for more control and is sturdier than the stock. |

| Review: |
I thought that I should give the DOP Front Grip a try. The price is low and the stock foregrip is a little too small for me. This grip improves the feel greatly. It is comfortable and makes it much easier to hold. The metal construction improves the durability of the stock grip and you don't need to worry about it breaking. The grip initially had problems with loosening up. Adding a washer from the stock grip and vigorously tightening the DOP grip fixed the problem. My only complaint is that it isn't the best looking thing in the world. It's a little to skinny for me at the top end. Not a big deal and I'll live with it. |
|
| Conclusion: |
A good upgrade and a nice way to personally customize your A-5. I think it's worth the money if you don't like the stock foregrip. |

| Review: |
The grip is much better than the stock grip. You are able to control your gun more if you have a double trigger. The look is different and feel is to. You can get your whole hand around the grip and also it comes in different colors. If yours becomes wobbly add a few lock washers to stop the wobble. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Great if your hands are too big or you cannot control the gun without stableness |

The stock A-5 frount grip is in my oppinion more comfortable than the dead on paintball on but i like the dead on paintball on more because it isn't plastic and it is also longer than the stock on so i provied more controll when trying to snipe someone. |
|
| Conclusion: |
I say go out and buy it. |

| Review: |
This a cheap great upgrade,it looks good and it's stronger and easier to grip.I never broke the stock grip Because i never went on the field with it but it just looked the weakest point on the marker so i got rid of it.The only problem I had with it was it came loose during a game and i got shot because i tried to remove it before it fell off.I simply installed a black lock washer under it and never had the same problem. |
|
| Conclusion: |
Just buy it, it's cheap! |

Make sit look kinda different.. Bigger = more target for opponets to aim at |
|
| Review: |
I like it.. if u have an extra $15 go get it it make sit look different but it makes it look alot better than the stock and its metal and ALOT more comfotable...it is bigger and its a hard surface so it means if u get shot there the paintball will brake. |
|
| Conclusion: |
You don't have 2 buy it right this minute in order to shoot better but hey when u are looking for a cool upgrade look no further! Don't be fooled by other companies DOP is the best (when it comes to front grips). Get it if u got the extra $ |
