I tried the Moe and Moe+ grips at a local gun store, they didn't push my index finger far enough back. I wasn't able to try a miad or bcm grip but based on the pictures i saw that showed the dimensions I was less than optimistic that they would accomplish what I was looking for. Previously I ran a Hogue grip, which was way to small near my index finder.
Here's a picture of me holding and dry firing my rifle with the Stark grip .
The index finger placement is essentially perfect, my finger is perfectly flat on the trigger through the trigger break (SSA-E) without having to contort it into any crazy positions. Additionally the placement is still ideal for hitting the mag release. I do find it slightly more difficult to flip the safety on(i just might need to get used to the motion from this position), but flipping it off is quick.
The angle of the grip was different than a Hogue or A2 and seemed more conducive to shooting "Tactical" style than say High Power or Olympic style when standing.
A friend of mine tried my rifle with the Stark grip, he hated it, he found it to be to big for his hand. He's a huge fan of the standard A2, go figure.
The Stark grip isn't for everyone but if you had a index finger placement issue similar to the one that I had, it may be a viable option for you.
I only put 60 rounds through it. Some of it was shooting fast at silhouette targets 25 yards away offhand, and some of it was shooting for accuracy at smaller targets 70 yards away offhand. I found it worked well for both and I'm happy with it.
I suggest you go to your local gun show or gun shop and see how a few different grips feel in your hand. There are a lot of people that will write off grips that aren't made by certain brands or do to how they look, in my opinion this is a mistake...sometimes the grip that feels best in your hand isn't the one that looks the prettiest or is made by the most in-vogue brand.
