Strengths:
Better built and is bigger than stock grip. Looks great on gun.
Weaknesses:
A little more expensive than some other grips, but well worth the extra $$ IMO.
Review:
Looks great, is built great, and it is made from a great company. I do not have any wobble issues with my grip. It is very sturdy. The aluminum is so much stronger than the plastic of the original grip. I have seen some grips on the field that look awkward on the A-5. I have gotten nothing but compliments on my Lapco grip. Also, I have had other that do not even realize I have an aftermarket grip untill I point it ou; it looks that good on the gun.
stock foregrip - handles fine ;) just to short and made of plastic
dead -on foregrip - doesn't look right on an A-5,have to use washers
to keep it on tight. Though it is comfortable.

Weaknesses:

Review:
Good solid easy to install aftermarket grip (unlike some others) not
to say that the stock grip isn't solid but doesn't feel right. It is to short
and i prefer the metal feel than plastic.
This grip is i believe a couple inches longer which gives you more room
to adjust your grip better than the stock one.
Also easy to install. I bought an aftermarket one from another company
and had to place washers on the long screw to keep it from unscrewing
no problems keeping this one in place just like the stock grip.
Conclusion:
If you like the stock grip design you will like this grip just longer and metal
Takes the abuse of woodsball and scenario like the rest of the A-5
well, doesn't scratch as easily as I thought it would. Solid grip!
Much larger than stock grip. Fits my hand nicely. Doesn't slip. Strong men need strong parts. Protects gas line better. Next is to fill the 50 word minimum a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a

Review:
This is a great after market front grip if you have big hands and/or looking for a more comfortable and durable front grip for your A-5. I knew with all the woodsball I play I needed a more sturdy grip for the rough terrains and I'm glad I bought this. The allen bolt included with the grip is the same size as the one on the stock grip, but you will need a longer allen key wrench for installation and when you have to take your gun apart for maintenance.
Conclusion:
If you want a comfortable grip for your A-5 then this is the grip to get, especially if you play woods ball in a rough terrain environment. BUY IT!!......BUY IT NOW!!

This replacement grip is easy to install, looks great, feels much better than stock grip (unless you have really small hands), and does not weigh significantly any more than the stock grip. Craftsmanship is typical of Lapco products: excellent. I give it five thumbs up. In order to make the minimum requirement of 50 words I am typing in this rather incoherent sentence for your reading pleasure, please disregard and enjoy your happy paintball lifestyle.
Conclusion:
This is a great upgrade to your A-5: looks great, performs well, easy to install, and looks great.

Review:
The Milsim and Long Grip is the same thing.
At first looking at the pictures of the A-5 on the net, I knew the stock grip was too short for me. I have pretty big hands so i ordered the longer grip for about 19$. It looks awesome on the marker and suits my needs. This is a very simple and cheap upgrade. Get this product, you will not be dissapointed.

Review:
The stock grip was too short for me because I have a rather large hand, and the new grip fits my hand perfectly. Also, it improved the look a little bit. Got mine for about $20 which is one of the cheapest upgrades you can do to your A-5.
