Driven Arms ShortStop

While lounging with my guns, I couldn’t help but notice the array of handstops, vertical grips and angled foregrips, adorning my rifles. This observation led me to dive deep into the internet, where I was astonished by the sheer variety available. Among them, the Driven Arms Short Stop stands out as my favorite hand stop.

Hand stops are popular for a few reasons but most commonly because the commies wont let you have a vertical grip on your “pistol” or for those who just want a more streamlined setup. 

 

There are those that don’t believe in using any type of grip aid on their rail however on most of my setups I use one. For me they ensure a consistent grip position, facilitating swift access to laser/light switches or simply finding the most comfortable, repeatable hand placement. Additionally as advertised it allows you to “pull” the rifle into your shoulder easier. Typically the only issue occurs when you shoot on a flat surface; barrel, car hood etc which prevents the rifle from laying flat. 

 

With that said the ShortStop is the most comfortable, low profile “handstop” I’ve used. The material, texture, and intuitive design fits my hand very comfortably. 

 

While I could elaborate further on hand-related accessories, alas, duty calls—I’m running late to pick up someone’s mom.
