so I was looking at the magpul moe K grip on magpul's site and read how the grip is angled differently to be "optimized" for pdw type weapons. A quick search yielded nothing on pdw weapons and rifle grip angle. So can someone enlighten me to the pros and cons of having the grip angled differently and is it <span style="text-decoration: underline">only</span> optimized for PDWs?
 
Re: PDW type grip angle question

I've tried one on my collapsable stock Colt 6940 that I shoot fully collapsed/nose to charging handle.

The grip is angled a lot less to the rear, so you can hold your wrist straighter when shooting.

The downside is that the MOE-K is really small, too small for me so I switched back.

If you had a SBR'ed AR and were trying to keep as small a footprint as possible, or really small hands, the MOE-K might be worth it.

Edit: There are other grips out there with steeper angles on them that aren't as small
