Carbon Fiber HandStops
I was one of the early users of the “Shorty” hand stop along with a few other products from Moruzzi’s. Before I get into my opinion on these rail covers. I would like to say that the customer service, attitude, and quality of the product would lead me to purchase any one of the products Moruzzi’s offers for a large number of applications. Not only do they look great, but they are also durable, lightweight, and backed by a company that is proactive in satisfying their customers. The Shorty hand stop I received weighed .507 Oz W/O Hardware. The hardware was .085 Oz for a total of .592 Oz. Despite only requiring one piece of hardware the stop fits snug with no purchase/movement. This one was the only product of the three I have used so far to have an issue. When I say issue, I mean Moruzzi reaching out and stating they sent one from the reject pile before I even had the item in hand. This is the reason I speak so highly of Moruzzi’s and their commitment to the customer. They had a new one shipped before I even received the first one, and they fulfilled the initial order expeditiously to begin with. Despite receiving a reject, I would have likely never noticed the issue until much farther down the road (See the attached photo for an idea of how small an issue this was). Seriously this is the level of pride Moruzzi’s had in their product and customer service, to provide a free replacement before there is even an opportunity to see or realize that the one I was initially sent was even compromised. The hand stop itself is sturdy, lightweight, stylish, and tested to be durable. While I fell in love with the A.F.G and have since used that one more, this one is a favorite of the Fiancé due to her hand size. She does not like most grips and stops out there as they prevent her from getting a secure grip. The shorty fits my larger hands as well. It only takes up one slot of MLOK so for those with limited rail space the shorty will work well for you.

Not only do they look great, but they are also durable, lightweight, and backed by a company that is proactive in satisfying their customers. The Aerolite A.F.G I received weighed .769 Oz W/O Hardware. The hardware was .085 Oz (2) for a total of .854 Oz. There is not a lighter foregrip on the market that is as versatile and usable as this one (I was unable to find anything even close to this light for the size. I love the “Shorty” stop but this one takes the cake for my personal preference. I had the opportunity to use these in two separate weekend long carbine classes and have used them almost daily since installing. They have held up well, and I have not hesitated in giving them a beating. I am not affiliated with Moruzzi’s and have not been tested a large batch of these so the weight may very slightly but in general they will be lighter than anything currently on the market, I just wanted to provide a general weight range for those building lightweight carbines/rifles. At the time this grip was in the prototype stage, so I was given the chance to test this out before it hit the open market. Being the case, I was intentionally brutal on this one during my two weekend long classes. I used it as a wall stop, braced in on car doors as I shot, and generally beat on it hard. I was initially a little skeptical about how it would hold up given the milled-out design, but it took everything I could throw at it. I found this one to be particularly comfortable in the later hours of the day when fatigue set in. I have had wrist issues in my support hand following a motorcycle accident when I was younger and the angle this grip is set at is killer! The concave angle on the back side of the grip allows for secure handling as well as a great thumb slot when bracing against a wall. The chamfered edges prevent snagging on gear as well. Installation was a breeze and they come packaged like a product well outside of their price range. I also tested the (V1) “Shorty” Hand Stop, and the Textured “Tactical Rail Covers” (3-slot), so feel free to head over and view my review on those two products. I will also be purchasing the “A.F.G V2” and “Micro Stop V1” and potentially the “Stright Edge” for testing and reviewing, I will post separate reviews for those items at a future date. I can not speak highly enough of Moruzzi’s and their owner!

Not only do they look great, but they are also durable, lightweight, and backed by a company that is proactive in satisfying their customers. The weight of the covers I received (single 3-slot rail) came in at .311 Oz W/O hardware. The hardware came in at .085 Oz (x2) for a total of .481 Oz. Based on my research this is under the average weight of most competitors’ rail covers.

The texture has aided very well in the Minnesota winter, experienced no slippage in the wet spring, and prevent heat build up from affecting bare hands during long summer days on the range.
