View Full Version : Anyone running the Magpul XTM Hand Stop?

I'm looking at various VFG's & AGV's as well as some other hand stops... I don't know if these are new, or what, but I haven't found a lot of review type info on them. I can't find one in my local area that I can actually put my hands on either... Anyone running one that can offer some pro's & con's? Looks like it might be a good compromise between the AFV & VFG.

Just as a fyi, the only one's I have seen online are in black thus far. I'd be interested to hear about them as well if anyone has snagged a kit of these.

Yep. I have had mine for a little over a month and I like it so far. It fits my hand well and does exactly what I wanted it to do. I grip it with my index finger in front of the forward stop and my other three fingers between the two. It attaches very solidly.

I like it but don't use the xtm panels or the front piece. Works better this way for me.

Thanks for the info, everyone.... I've got one on order! Sounds like its going to do the job quite nicely.

I actually found that the hand stop forces my wrist into an uncomfortable angle. I have to angle my hand at the wrist closer to my body. I prefer the AFG.

BCM 14.5" midlength with a Centurion Arms C4 cutout rail.

OT but I have got to get me one of those rails.

I am.

I like it. It's about what you'd expect. Won't lie - I kind of miss my VFG still. I think it's a great lightweight and simple option though for people who don't necessarily need a VFG.

Worth the $20.

Do those of you that use the XTM have issues with the rails cutting your hands? Some rails I've seen are razor sharp, and I figured with any bare rail contact it'd split your hand wide open.

Sort of. Its way more comfortable for me to use the panels. You could always wear gloves.

I have the XTM Hand Stop kit, and I really like it.

Since the XTM line comes in several pieces, there are actually at least 3 different configurations you can apply to your gun....using all or some of the kit parts.

Like the rest of the Magpul line, its well designed and it just works.
