Description
The B5 Systems Type 22 P-Grip is one of those simple upgrades that changes how a rifle feels the moment you shoulder it. It ditches the dated A2 angle in favor of a steeper roughly 13-degree vertical geometry that lines your wrist up more naturally with the trigger. The result is a more relaxed hold, a cleaner trigger finger index, and less fatigue on longer range days. It's a straightforward swap that punches well above its price bracket.
What Sets the Type 22 P-Grip Apart
The big difference between the Type 22 and its cousin the Type 23 comes down to the backstrap. The Type 22 runs a no-backstrap design that lets your hand ride higher on the grip for better engagement and leverage. Since it skips the beavertail, it's a great match for billet lowers, non-standard receivers, and platforms like the BRN-180 or The Fix by Q where a beavertail grip would leave odd gaps. On a standard mil-spec lower it works just as well if you simply prefer a slimmer, more upright feel.
Texture and Build You Can Count On
Molded from Mil-Spec polymer, this grip is tough, light, and built to shrug off abuse. It weighs in around 1.9 ounces, so it won't add any real heft to a lightweight build. The aggressive texture keeps things locked in when your hands are wet, muddy, or gloved up, without feeling like sandpaper during a long session. The Flat Dark Earth finish plays nicely with FDE, tan, and multi-tone setups.
Storage and Fitment on the Type 22
There's a hollow cavity inside that accepts an optional B5 Systems Grip Plug, giving you a tidy spot to stash batteries, a bore snake, or small spares. It fits AR-15 and AR-10 pattern lowers and installs with a single grip screw, so the whole swap takes just a few minutes at the bench. Proudly made in the USA, it's a proven, no-nonsense grip that earns its spot on serious builds.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Type 22 P-Grip and the Type 23?
The main difference is the backstrap. The Type 22 has no beavertail, which makes it a cleaner fit for billet or non-standard lowers and platforms where a beavertail would leave gaps. The Type 23 adds a beavertail meant for standard mil-spec forged lowers. Both share the same upright grip angle, so the choice really comes down to your receiver and personal preference.
Will the Type 22 P-Grip fit my AR-15?
Yes. It's designed for AR-15 and AR-10 pattern lowers and installs with a single grip screw, so no modification is needed. Because it skips the beavertail, it also fits well on billet and non-standard receivers where a beavertail grip can leave gaps.
How does the grip angle compare to a standard A2 grip?
The Type 22 uses a steeper, more vertical angle of roughly 13 degrees compared to the raked A2. That upright geometry lines your wrist up more naturally with the trigger, which many folks find more comfortable and less fatiguing over a long day. It also drops the front hump found on the A2 for a cleaner feel.
Can I store anything inside the Type 22 P-Grip?
There's an internal cavity that accepts an optional B5 Systems Grip Plug, which is sold separately. With a plug installed you get a discreet spot for batteries, a bore snake, or small spare parts while keeping a clean external profile.
