A standard in ergonomic upgrades, the ERGO Original SureGrip combines a rubberized overmolded for all-weather handling with a design honed for comfort and control. Trusted by military operators and gun enthusiasts for over 20 years, the SureGrip offers a tangible improvement over the A2 pistol grip, with subtle finger grooves and a beavertail that naturally contours to the hand. Used on mission-critical platforms like the Mk12 and M4A1, this grip brings modern, battlefield-proven performance to any AR-15 or AR-308.
Built with the everyday and military AR enthusiast in mind, the ERGO Original SureGrip is compatible with a range of tactical platforms, offering versatility across both standard and clone rifles. Common in Special Operations Peculiar Modification (SOPMOD) kits, this grip has appeared on models like the Mk18/CQBR, URGI, and NSW RECCE—often added as a personal upgrade by operators in Iraq and Afghanistan. Its beavertail and finger grooves make it a staple for shooters looking for superior handling, whether for quick maneuvers in tight quarters or stability in precision shots. The Rhino Hide texture resists slippage, even under intense conditions, making it as functional as it is reliable.
The ERGO overmolded SureGrip AR-style pistol grip has been widely used across various U.S. military rifles and has become a popular upgrade among service members and specialized units. It’s particularly known for its ergonomic and durable design, making it ideal for both military and civilian applications. Here are some notable platforms and setups where the ERGO SureGrip has been used:
Mk12 Special Purpose Rifle (SPR)
The Mk12 SPR, a designated marksman rifle (DMR) used by the U.S. military, particularly Naval Special Warfare units, often features the ERGO SureGrip. Operators valued it for enhanced control and comfort during long missions, particularly in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Mk18 Close Quarters Battle Receiver (CQBR)
The Mk18, a short-barreled AR-15 variant primarily used by special operations forces, saw frequent user upgrades with the ERGO SureGrip. Its rubberized surface and finger grooves were favored for CQB environments where rapid handling and control were essential.
M4A1 Block I and Block II
The M4A1 has been the primary service rifle for many U.S. military units. In both the Block I and Block II configurations, the ERGO grip became a preferred modification by individual operators, enhancing the rifle’s handling under rigorous conditions. This grip is also commonly seen in SOPMOD (Special Operations Peculiar Modification) kits, offering a “drop-in” upgrade for special operators.
URGI (Upper Receiver Group Improved)
As the latest upgrade for M4 platforms, the URGI has also seen the ERGO SureGrip added by operators who prioritize a comfortable and steady grip. This setup is increasingly favored by U.S. Army Special Operations and other elite units.
NSW RECCE Rifle
Used by Navy SEALs and other special operations units, the RECCE rifle (a customized, accurized AR platform for longer engagements) often incorporates the ERGO SureGrip. Its ergonomic design allows for better fatigue management, making it a reliable choice for precision shooting.
While the ERGO SureGrip is not a standard-issue component, it has become widely adopted as a personal preference among service members looking to enhance their rifle’s ergonomics and handling in harsh environments.
