The inherent beauty of AR-15 is its modular design where a shooter can disassemble any accessory that they are not quite comfortable with and refit another one that they like without lowering in any way the efficacy of the gun. This flexibility of AR-15 has made it such a favorite among shooters who can modify and practically custom make their guns for maximum effect and total satisfaction. This also has led to a surfeit of suppliers of AR-15 accessories in the market and one of the leading manufacturers in this area is TAPCO which immediately attracts attention because of their affordability. But being cheap has also its downsides. Those that consider themselves veterans of shooting often, in my opinion, rather snobbishly, look down upon TAPCO accessories as being too mundane, ordinary and not worthy of second glance from genuine experts in this field. But is it really so, or, is it just an undesirable offshoot of that near epidemic malady called exclusivity? Only a detailed review and examination of AR-15 Accessories manufactured by TAPCO would clear the air once and for all. If one starts from the butt of the gun (as it is the rearmost section of a gun and any investigation should ideally start from this part only) one finds that the butt manufactured by TAPCO stocks match head to head with other butts available in the market. Only those that are very discerning and ready to swoop on even the slightest shortcoming might whine that the sling loops are tucked inwards and not exposed as in other substitutes but, honestly speaking, this cannot be considered even a facet to ponder upon. Let us now move on to the grip and here one can find the uniqueness of TAPCO and why it has managed to hold on to the leader’s position in spite of stiffest competition. For people that have large hands and shooters are usually big people with large generous hands, any common grip available in the market is way too small for comfort. Grips manufactured by TAPCO are bigger and feel that much more comfortable and snug in hand and gives shooters that comforting feel which is the root of all confidence even when hands are wet. Moving on further up one comes to the next most important AR-15 Accessory: the hand guards. Furniture available in the market is abominable to say the least. Offerings from TAPCO are way better than those for various reasons. These are primarily amenable to lots of modifications and even after being fitted leave enough space for mounting other AR-15 accessories without hassle. The good feature of these hand guards is that they come with full top and bottom rails and also come with plastic guards that protect your hands from these plastic rails if you require such protection, further, these are a breeze to mount and detach and can be done within minutes by an expert shooter. However, some experts complain that these hand guards are bigger than what they should be and often add unnecessary bulk to the gun which, if avoided would be best.
