Description
Hogue built the 13103 for folks who want a vertical grip that disappears in the hand without giving up control. The whole thing is molded from durable polymer with a hollow interior, which is how it comes in at right around 1.6 oz. That makes it one of the lightest grips you can bolt onto an AR-15 or M16, and if you count grams on a build, that matters. Even hollowed out, the polymer holds its shape and takes abuse without going soft or brittle.
What the 15° Angle Does for Your Hold
The 15-degree rake is the reason this grip exists. It nudges your wrist into a more natural position and shines in tighter shooting stances, where the rifle sits square to the chest and elbows tuck in close to the body. That geometry forces the hand into a sharper angle, and this grip meets it head-on so you are not fighting your own wrist to stay on target. It is a small change that pays off during longer range sessions.
Cobblestone Texture and the Thumb Dish
Hogue's Cobblestone pattern is the star here. It is a stippled, pebbled surface that grips your palm firmly but does not chew up your hand the way aggressive checkering can. Sweaty hands, gloves, cold mornings, it holds on through all of it. Behind the trigger there is a recessed thumb dish that gives your finger a clean, comfortable path to the trigger, so your grip and your trigger press stay consistent.
Worth knowing before you order: this grip runs smooth with no finger grooves, so it fits a wider range of hand sizes than a grooved design. It installs with the factory grip screw from your rifle, and it drops onto anything that accepts a standard AR-15 or M16 grip. Simple upgrade, real difference in feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Hogue 13103 vertical grip come with a mounting screw?
No, it installs using the factory grip screw that came with your rifle. A screw is not included in the package. If you are replacing a grip on a standard AR-15 or M16, you will reuse the existing hardware.
What does the 15-degree angle actually do?
The 15-degree rake positions your wrist more naturally and works well in close-quarters stances where the rifle is squared to your chest and your elbows are tucked in tight. That posture pushes the hand into a sharper angle, and the grip is shaped to meet it. It helps you stay comfortable and on target without straining your wrist.
Will this Hogue grip fit my rifle if it is not a Hogue product?
Yes, it fits any firearm that accepts a standard AR-15 or M16 grip, so brand does not matter. It is a very common footprint across the AR platform. Just confirm your lower uses the standard grip mounting pattern and you are set.
Is the Cobblestone texture rough on your hand?
Not at all. The Cobblestone pattern is a stippled, pebbled surface designed to be non-slip without being irritating like sharp checkering can be. It holds up in wet, sweaty, or gloved conditions while staying comfortable through long sessions.
