Samson Manufacturing® M-LOK® Short Grenade Vertical Foregrip – 2.125" Compact Profile – Matte Black Anodized – 04-05102-01
The Samson Manufacturing® M-LOK® Short Grenade Vertical Grip in Matte Black (04-05102-01) is an elite, hard-use tactical handguard accessory precision-engineered to maximize weapon control, indexing consistency, and front-end driving leverage. While typical vertical foregrips rely on cheap injection-molded polymers that flex under heavy physical strain, crack when slammed against concrete barriers, or soften during severe barrel thermal cycles, the Samson Grenade series thoroughly shatters those structural limitations. This bulletproof tactical asset (850006871469) couples a specialized, ultra-rugged metallic matrix with a highly compact profile, serving as an exceptional primary hand-stop and control anchor for fast-handling defensive carbines, short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and subgun platforms.
The structural foundation of this premium foregrip is precision CNC-machined from a solid block of 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and reinforced with a heavy-duty stainless steel internal core rod. The defining technical edge of the 04-05102-01 architecture is its unique **two-piece detachable design**. The low-profile M-LOK attachment base plates down permanently into your handguard, allowing operators to rapidly unscrew and detach the main vertical body handle for transport, storage, or maintenance without ever disturbing the underlying M-LOK alignment lugs or losing rail real estate. The entire external surface is treated in a rugged, non-reflective Type III Class 2 Mil-Spec Hardcoat Anodized finish to provide extreme scratch resistance and shield the aluminum core from harsh field elements.
The true functional benefit of this specific variant is its highly distinctive "Pineapple Grenade" machined texture packed into an ultra-short 2.125-inch vertical length. This aggressive, three-dimensional geometric ribbing gives you an unbreakable, slip-free boundary grip even when your hands are wet, cold, or covered in thick mud, while remaining comfortable enough for standard bare-handed training. Rather than forcing a full, fist-style wrap that alters natural wrist angles, the micro 2.125" length functions optimally as an ergonomic hand-stop for modern thumb-over-bore (C-Clamp) shooting styles, perfectly locking your support hand in place to mitigate muzzle rise. Proudly manufactured and designed in Keene, New Hampshire, this American-made workhorse delivers absolute mechanical and handling confidence across dynamic high-cadence training loops and close-quarters defense assignments alike.
Includes: (1) Samson Manufacturing Short Grenade Vertical Grip Handle (Matte Black), (1) Integrated Two-Piece M-LOK Interface Mounting Base, and All Required Mil-Spec M-LOK Steel Locking T-Nuts and Installation Hardware.
*Form-Factor & Grip Application Note: Measuring exactly 2.125 inches in total length, this "Short" class foregrip occupies roughly the vertical space of 20 stacked quarters. It is intentionally designed as a low-profile indexing point and barrier stop rather than a full-sized handle. If your operational layout requires a full hand-enclosing vertical grip, pairing your handguard with Samson’s Medium (3.50") or Long (4.20") Grenade models is recommended.
Key Features
- Ultra-Compact 2.125" Footprint: Minimalist stubby length provides a definitive physical index point for rapid hand positioning while keeping weight down and preventing snags.
- Aggressive Grenade Machined Texture: Distinctive "Pineapple Grenade" geometric relief cuts yield an unyielding, high-traction grip matrix in freezing weather or mud-slick conditions.
- Innovative Two-Piece Mechanical Design: External handle body easily detaches from the handguard via an internal locking channel, leaving the primary M-LOK lug base completely undisturbed.
- 6061-T6 Aluminum & Steel Construction: Solid aircraft-grade aluminum frame and high-tensile steel core rod provide immense structural strength, easily shrugging off hard barrier rams.
- Mil-Spec Type III Hardcoat Anodizing: Finished in a deep, non-reflective Matte Black coating to deliver professional-grade corrosion defense, chemical resistance, and scratch masking.
- Precision Made in New Hampshire, USA: Proudly designed, machined, and quality-vetted in the United States to fulfill rigorous tactical duty and hard-use field tracking requirements.
