The Hogue 15 Degree Vertical Rifle Grip, Fits AR-15/M16, Polymer, No Finger Groove, Black (13100, UPC 743108131008) is a lightweight AR pistol grip designed to provide a more vertical, control-oriented hand position on modern AR-15 and M16 platforms.

Model Identification and Platform Fit
This grip is a drop-in replacement for most AR-15/M16 pattern rifles and carbines and installs in place of the factory A2-style grip using the existing grip screw and hardware.
Material, Construction, and Weight
The Hogue 13100 grip is molded from a high-strength polymer formulated for long service life:
The lightweight design helps keep overall rifle weight down, which can be beneficial on duty rifles, competition builds, or carbines carried for extended periods.
Ergonomics and 15° Vertical Angle
Unlike traditional A2 grips with a more rearward angle, the Hogue 13100 uses a 15° near-vertical grip angle:
The more vertical angle can reduce wrist bend compared to traditional grips when using a modern, heads-up stance, contributing to comfort and quicker target transitions for many shooters.
No Finger Groove Profile and Grip Surface
This model is specified as No Finger Groove, giving it a clean, uninterrupted front strap:
A recessed “thumb dish” or dish behind the trigger is integrated into the design to create a smoother transition for the trigger finger and improve comfort around the trigger guard area. Classic Firearms+2LG Outdoors Website+2

Installation and Compatibility Notes
The Hogue 13100 grip is intended as a direct replacement for standard AR-15/M16 pistol grips:
Mounting interface: Uses the standard AR grip screw and safety selector detent spring. (Most listings assume reuse of the factory screw; a new screw is not always included—users should verify package contents with the retailer.) hogueinc.com+2cobratac.com+2
Gunsmithing: Typically no gunsmithing required—installation involves removing the existing grip, capturing the selector detent spring, and installing the Hogue grip with the same hardware. OpticsPlanet+2aerospacearms.com+2
As with any AR grip change, care should be taken to maintain correct safety selector detent spring placement and to ensure the grip is fully tightened without cross-threading.
