I was afraid that plastic Magpul MOE forend could be slippy but it turned out that it is made of plastic which enables you to have a firm grip. Special grooves and hand stops on the forend make it extremely easy to use.

I have tested it one the range and it was easy to rack a shotgun using Magpul MOE forend. It enables you to position your hand comfortably and have a reliable positive grip.

Magpul MOE forend is little longer than other tactical forend but still can be used with 6-round sidesaddles:

The additional length of the Magpul MOE forend will be useful for most shooters (especially with shorter hands) because it will be more convenient to hold and reload a shotgun.

This forend has slots which enables you to install different MOE accessories such as rails, grips, etc.
