Vertical Forward Grip
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A Vertical Forward Grip (somewhat self-defining) is a verticle grip that is designed to attach to a firearm for the forward hand (or "off hand"). These aid in the manueverability of the firearm, since the natural angle of a persons outstretched hand is more oriented to grasping objects at a vertical angle, rather than a horizontal one perpendicular to the body.

- It is unlawful to attach a vertical forward grip to a handgun without proper authorization from the BATFE. Attaching a vertical forward grip to a handgun makes it an AOW (Any Other Weapon, as defined by the 1934 National Firearms Act).
