Side grip

A side grip, generally referring to a handle or grasping surface positioned on the lateral or side of an object, is commonly found on tools, equipment, and firearms. The primary purpose of a side grip is to provide the user with a secure and ergonomic hold, facilitating control, manipulation, and stability during operation. The design of a side grip can vary considerably depending on the application, material, and intended user. Ergonomic considerations often influence the shape, size, and texture of the grip to maximize comfort and reduce fatigue. Common materials used include polymers, wood, metal, and rubber, chosen for their durability, grip characteristics, and resistance to environmental factors. The presence and design of a side grip significantly impact the overall functionality and usability of the object it is attached to.
