Picatinny Hand Stops

Low-Profile Foregrips for AR-15, PCC & Tactical Rifles


Compact Control & Forward Grip Stability for M1913 Rails

A Picatinny hand stop is a compact, minimalist solution that gives you better control over your rifle or AR pistol without the size or legal complications of a full vertical grip. Designed to mount directly to M1913 Picatinny rails, these stops act as index points, safety barriers, and recoil control aids — especially on short-barreled rifles (SBRs) and AR pistols.

At Mounts Plus, we offer a curated selection of Picatinny-compatible hand stops designed for fast installs, low drag, and high performance.


Why Use a Hand Stop?

  • ✅ Prevents hand from slipping past muzzle/brake

  • ✅ Improves weapon retention and recoil management

  • ✅ Compact and snag-free for low-drag rifle setups

  • ✅ Ideal for defensive carbines, PCCs, SBRs, and AR pistols

  • ATF-compliant alternative to vertical foregrips in most pistol configurations

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Is a Picatinny hand stop legal on an AR pistol?
A: In most cases, yes. Hand stops are considered indexing devices and are generally allowed on AR pistols — unlike vertical foregrips. Always consult local laws or ATF guidance.

Q: What’s the main advantage of a hand stop?
A: It improves control, prevents overtravel on the support hand, and offers a consistent index point for better recoil management without bulk.

Q: Can I use a hand stop with gloves or in CQB?
A: Yes. Most models are glove-friendly, and they excel in close-quarters because they minimize snagging and help manage recoil during rapid transitions.

Q: Are these compatible with other rail systems like M-LOK?
A: This page features only Picatinny-compatible hand stops. If you need M-LOK or KeyMod options, browse our M-LOK Hand Stop category.
