Looking for recommendations for a new handstop.  I typically like something small and out of the way.  I've tried vertical grips in the past using them like a handstop, and I'm just not really a fan.  Not really sure what all is on the market and what's popular.  Thanks.

The Driven Arms Shortstop has been replacing my Magpul and Arisaka handstops

For something more minimalist than a short vertical grip, I've always liked the BCM KAG. Kinetic Angled Grip

I think I might try that one.  I like the look and how small it is.  Thank you!

I like the SI bikini hand stops. These are the smallest ones I have found. Price is right too.

I’m trying to remember who makes these. I may need to go home and look at the paperwork.

YHM makes a beefy handstop w/ sling QD cups
Been using on my 3gun rifle for a couple years and it's held up to plenty of barrier abuse

Sadly the founder of IWC passed away last year, and they stopped taking orders
Their accessories for ARs & shotguns were really nice

I have typically recommended Emissary Development in the past, but I tried out a True North Concepts GripStop and like it a lot. Super solid and feels very natural.

The also make a GripStop-K which is a little shorter.

Samies.   I have railscales g10 panels on each side of the finger stop also since it’s right by the gas block.

I like these, and it also supports 9 hole reviews which is probably one of the best gun channels on youtube right now in my opinion.

What exactly are you looking for, just something small?  I have around 10 different types.

Take a look at the Emissary Handbrake. They work very well for me.

Centurion or Slate IMO. I run both.

Formerly known as the gripstop that B5 used to own.  I prefer VFGs so I'm a little out of the game.
