Use and Installation Instructions
MF'ing Grip for AR/M4. MIL / LEO ONLY
The Multi-Functioning Grip was designed to be activated during weapon retention / weapon takeaway, when handcuffing a suspect, while rendering aid, while being stowed in the vehicle or saddlebags of motorcycles, and anytime the individual wants the firearm to be more secure (such as at the range during firearms training, or a school resource officer).
For motor units or covert carry, it is recommended to use a 10-round magazine while stowed. You can see in the following photograph how compact this 10.3" barreled MK18 is with a 10-round magazine and the MF'ing Grip in the closed position ...
It is recommended that an AR/M4 armorer installs the MF'ing Grip
Installation Video:
STEP 1: Ensure that the selector switch is in "Safe" and unload the firearm according to the manufacturer's instructions, also ensuring that the chamber is empty, and the selector switch is in "Safe".
STEP 2: Place the firearm on its top, so the bottom of the grip is pointing towards the sky. (This will help prevent the selector switch spring and detent from falling out). Remove the factory grip by unscrewing the grip screw in the bottom of the lower receiver. If your factory grip screw came with a washer, REMOVE IT AND DO NOT USE THE WASHER with the MF'ing Grip.
STEP 3: Slide the Shield rearward to put the MF'ing Grip into installation mode as shown in the video.
STEP 4: Use the factory grip screw and align the MF'ing Grip to the lower receiver of the AR/M4, ensuring that the selector switch spring aligns with the spring retaining hole in the grip. HAND TIGHTEN the grip screw and the MF'ing Grip onto the lower receiver.
STEP 5: Ensure that the "Shield" of the MF'ing Grip slides forward and locks into place, protecting the trigger. If the Shield will not slide forward, make sure the selector switch is in "Safe" and try again. If the Shield still doesn't slide forward you may have a trigger guard that drops down too far, interfering with use.
STEP 6: Press the "Release Button", which is on the bottom of the MF'ing Grip, and slide the Shield backwards, towards the buffer-tube/Extended Stock. Once the Shield is pulled completely rearwards, rotate the MF'ing Grip downward to lock it into the Ready-To-Fire position.
STEP 7: To put the MF'ing Grip back into Safe, rotate the selector switch to "safe", pull the Shield downward (like removing the magazine), rotate the grip upward (so it's parallel to the rifle), then slide the Shield towards the barrel until the release button lowers and locks the Shield into place, protecting the trigger.
STEP 8: Repeat steps 6 and 7 several times, ensuring proper function. If there are any issues contact us immediately.
STEP 9: The MF'ing Grip has user selectable options, which include a total of 3 different size backstraps, and 2 release button options. To replace the backstrap, use a thin screwdriver or punch to push the grip retaining pin out and then remove the backstrap by pulling it away from the grip. Insert the backstrap of your choice into the back of the grip and reinsert the retaining pin, ensuring that the pin isn't protruding out of either side.
The 2 options for the release button are activated and non-activated. Activated requires the user to press the release button in before the Shield can uncover the trigger. Non-activated allows the user to quickly uncover the trigger, bypassing the need to press it in before sliding the Shield.
STEP 10: If the MF'ing Grip is functioning properly, reload the AR/M4 following your agency policy and/or manufacture's recommendations.
The MF'ing Grip is designed to buy our officers time in the event of weapon takeaway, allowing them the opportunity to transition to a handgun. With that being said, please don't share this video / webpage with the general public or post social media videos of how to use the MF'ing Grip. Stay Safe.
