Ar-15/m-16 Rubber Grip Beavertail

The Hogue AR-15/M-16 Rubber Grip Beavertail is a precision-engineered pistol grip designed for shooters who demand superior ergonomics and weapon control in tactical and defensive applications. Built for AR-platform rifles used by law enforcement, military personnel, and civilian marksmen, this grip replaces the standard factory control with a contoured design that reduces fatigue during extended shooting sessions and improves accuracy through enhanced hand positioning. The beavertail extension protects the web of the hand from slide bite and provides a natural acquisition point for consistent grip pressure—a critical factor in both combat scenarios and high-round-count training.

Hogue's proprietary OverMolded construction fuses a rigid fiberglass core with soft rubber overmolding to deliver unmatched durability and comfort. The fiberglass skeleton provides structural integrity and weapon durability under sustained fire and harsh field conditions, while the molded rubber surface absorbs recoil energy, reduces grip slip even in wet or gloved conditions, and allows for intuitive finger placement without hot spots or pressure points. This hybrid engineering approach has proven reliable across military and law enforcement arsenals, maintaining dimensional stability across temperature extremes and resisting degradation from oils, solvents, and environmental exposure—essential for duty-grade equipment.

This grip is compatible with all standard AR-15 and M-16 lower receivers and installs in minutes with a single grip screw—no gunsmithing required. Operators running 2-gun competitions, tactical carbine courses, or duty rifles will benefit from the improved control and reduced hand fatigue over long shooting strings. The lightweight design (0.26 lbs) adds negligible weight while the compact profile (4.35 x 1.75 x 8.1 inches) maintains optimal hand-to-trigger geometry for fast target transitions and precision shooting. Whether upgrading a legacy platform or optimizing a modern build, the Hogue AR-15/M-16 Rubber Grip Beavertail delivers field-proven ergonomics backed by decades of professional endorsement.
