Overview
The CMMG AR-15 A2 Pistol Grip features a classic A2 design, crafted from durable polymer and presented in a sleek black finish. This grip style offers a comfortable and stable hold, making it an ideal choice for builders looking to maintain traditional ergonomics while ensuring reliable performance. You’ll often find this grip used in mid-length gas system builds chambered in 5.56 NATO, where it complements the overall design and functionality of the rifle.
CMMG AR-15 A2 Pistol Grip ranked #12 of the 188 pistol grips builders added on GunPartPicker in August 2026, behind the Strike Industries Overmolded Enhanced AR-15 Pistol Grip - 15 Degree - Flat Dark Earth, with about 2% of all pistol grips added to builds. That's its 2nd straight month at #12. Builds with this pistol grip are mostly chambered in 5.56 NATO (77%, then .223 Wylde 9%), split between mid-length (39%) and carbine-length (32%) gas systems, and mostly AR-15 (81%, then AR-10 17%).
It was hard to find in August 2026, in stock on only 10 of the 19 days we checked, and today only CMMG has it in stock. It dipped to $4.67 at Brownells for a stretch in August 2026, well under its usual $5.69 to $5.95, so sales do come around. Buying today, the lowest price is $5.95 at CMMG, above August's low of $4.67, so a better deal may come back.

CMMG A2 pistol grip is the standard A2 shape at the budget tier. Polymer is the same density as a milspec A2. Texture matches a standard A2. Drops in with the milspec screw. Functional baseline grip.
CMMG A2 pistol grip fills my hand way better than the original milspec A2 grip. Texture is similar but the finger swells are slightly more pronounced. Black polymer is the same density. Mounts with a standard milspec screw.
