FAB Defense Gradus X AR-15 Reduced Angle Pistol Grip Tan

Reduced-angle pistol grips shift how your AR platform feels in your hands, offering shooters in Pittsburg and across California a more natural wrist position during extended shooting sessions. The FAB Defense Gradus X delivers this geometry in tan, designed for shooters building custom setups. Understanding your options means knowing local regulations—review California firearm laws before finalizing your build.

Angle geometry and grip surface texture

The Gradus X uses a shallow angle that differs from traditional vertical grips, placing your wrist in a more ergonomic position without introducing compliance concerns. The textured surface provides consistent purchase even with gloved hands or during rapid transitions. Many builders pair reduced-angle grips with handguard systems to create cohesive ergonomic platforms. Whether you're sourcing parts locally or arranging a private party transfer process, component selection matters for your shooting experience. Visit our gun shop in Sunnyvale for our full catalog.

Frequently asked questions

Does the Gradus X fit standard AR-15 lower receivers?

Yes. The Gradus X uses the standard 1.16-inch grip screw hole spacing found on all mil-spec AR lower receivers. Installation takes minutes with a standard grip screw.

How does a reduced angle affect shooting technique?

The shallow angle positions your wrist closer to the bore centerline, reducing muzzle rise for some shooters. This geometry works well for both precision and tactical applications depending on your stance.
