Okay, so I searched for a while, but am not that conversant with this site's search function yet, so no answers found.
This is my first black rifle and I am wanting to get into longer range shooting, primarily target/casual competition. An ergonomic issue for me is the pistol grip supplied from DMPS. It is too small for me, doesn't fill my hand and causes my trigger finger to be in the wrong place for a proper squeeze.
So I did some searching to see what options there are to replace it with something different, preferably better for my needs. No surprise to most of you, but there are many, many choices. I need some opinions, and facts too, to help me decide before I start buying and wasting time and money.
Here are the choices I found with a quick search:
- Magpul MIAD (grip wedge required for 308 lower) - $30-35
- Magpul MOE - $20
- LaRue APEG - $28
- Falcon Industries ERGO - $25
- Falcon Industries ERGO w/shelf - $45
- DPMS Panther Tactical - $30
- Mission First G27 - $20
- Sierra Precision SPR - $25
Added, from comments in thread below:
- Falcon Industries ERGO Tactical - $30-35
- BCM Gunfighter, Mod 0 / Mod 1 - $39

This list doesn't include standard grips, it is by no means complete, and I'm not sure if all of the above are usable on a 308 lower. Here's where I could use your help.
1) What are your personal experiences with any of the above (or other) grips?
2) How do these feel in your firing hand? Consider comfort for shooting long periods of time.
3) What do you have now? And what would you buy today if you were in my situation?
4) Do all of these easily fit to the 308 lower or do they require modification/extra pieces?
Thanks in advance for any and all input.
