Gripod (Real not fake) actually durable?
« on: February 22, 2013, 03:05:20 AM »
Limited room on my SAW RIS has me looking at gripods. Are they worth it? Hearing a lot of complaints even with the authentic steel reinforced legs.

Buddy has a real steel Fab Defense T-Pod on his real steel scar-17 and likes it. Otherwise, they're kind of weak from what I've experienced.

I've been using the non-reinforced version for a few years now on my CA249 and CQB-R, I haven't had any durability issues with it.
