XTS 15 Degree AR Rubberized Pistol Grip Fits AR 15 Black XTS 501NK UPC 767820117980
Product Description
The XTS 15-Degree AR Rubberized Pistol Grip in Black (MPN: XTS-501NK) is an ergonomic control upgrade designed to optimize wrist alignment, hand positioning, and weapon control on AR-15 rifles, short-barreled carbines, and pistol-caliber carbines. Featuring a modern reduced 15-degree grip angle—compared to traditional 25-degree A2 profiles—this grip places the shooter's wrist in a natural, vertical orientation. This design significantly reduces wrist strain and shooter fatigue on compact Personal Defense Weapons (PDWs), short-barreled rifles (SBRs), and setups with fully collapsed stocks.
Constructed around a rigid, impact-resistant polymer chassis and overmolded with a textured, rubberized outer shell, the XTS-501NK delivers superior non-slip traction under all operational conditions. The tacky rubber exterior maintains positive tactile retention even in wet weather or when wearing heavy tactical gloves. An ergonomic palm swell and contoured finger grooves index the shooting hand naturally, promoting consistent trigger finger placement and enhanced recoil absorption during rapid-fire sequences.
Finished in a classic matte black tone, the grip installs effortlessly onto any standard Mil-Spec AR-15 or AR-10 lower receiver. The design incorporates a hollow core with an integrated bottom storage cap, providing a convenient weather-resistant compartment for spare batteries, small tools, or emergency CLP. Backed by XTS's dedication to high-value tactical components, the XTS-501NK is an essential ergonomic upgrade for modern custom rifle builds.
Armorer Bench Notes & Real-World Staging Guidance:
Fitment Matrix: Fits standard Mil-Spec forged and billet AR-15, M4, M16, AR-10, LR-308, and PCC lower receivers. (Note: Uses standard AR pistol grip mounting hardware; pay close attention during installation to ensure the safety selector detent spring in the lower receiver's right-side grip channel is properly captured and not crushed).
- Perform a complete firearm safety check: drop the magazine, lock the bolt rearward, and visually inspect the chamber to verify zero live rounds are present.
- Place the lower receiver upside down on a padded workbench block.
- Unscrew the existing pistol grip screw and washer from inside the grip cavity using a long Allen key or screwdriver.
- Carefully remove the original grip while retaining the exposed safety selector detent spring and detent pin.
- Place the safety selector detent spring into the designated receiving channel of the new XTS-501NK grip.
- Slide the grip onto the lower receiver tang, verifying that the spring compresses straight into its receiver channel without binding or bending.
- Insert the mounting screw and washer through the interior grip cavity into the receiver threads, torquing to specification (approx. 25–30 in-lbs). Verify smooth safety selector engagement before range deployment.
