Impact Weapons Components (IWC) is on a roll. They recently teamed with Travis Haley to produce the excellent HSP Light Mounts and now they are releasing a new version of their Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT.
The previous version of the Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT was made to connect directly to hand guards like the Magpul MOE Hand Guards and the Troy TRX Extreme Rails. This new version is 1913 (picatinny rail) compatible so it can be mounted on any hand guard with a Mil-STD-1913 rail. This means that there is now a Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT available for nearly every hand guard on the market.
The new Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) is made to IWC’s typical high standards. It is CNC Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and hard anodized Type III matte finish per MIL-A-8625F. IWC always takes great care to make sure their products are free of sharp edges and snag points and this IWC Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) is no exception.
One of the most interesting things about this new hand stop is how little rail space it takes up. It occupies only one recoil slot on your rail. That means you can butt your favorite rail covers right up to the IWC Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913).
If you are looking for a reasonably priced, lightweight (only weighs .78 ounces), low profile alternative to a vertical grip, check out the Weapon Control MOUNT-N-SLOT (1913) on the IWC website. Remember to use the code “triggerjerk” at checkout to receive 5% off at IWC.
Interesting evolution from longer vertical grips (e.g., KAC) that look like broom handles to stubbier (e.g., Tango Down, FUG, etc.) as index points. Now the handstop has yet another approach mainly also as indexing to the same rail point every time.
I also note that the curve and flat side provides configuration flexibility in the user’s rail grip. That is if the handstop is rear of the hand or the front of the hand.
