    I love the small circumference of my MI Gen2 SS hand guard. This is the 15" rail on my 16" rifle but their 10" would prolly be ideal.

    Agreed. The Troy VTAC is much nicer on the ungloved hands.

    Another vote here for the Centurion CMR. I switched from a Troy Bravo rail and couldn't be happier. It's lighter, slimmer and doesn't require rail covers to prevent it from acting like a cheese grater. Plus the machining and finish on the CMR is far superior.

    I just had a MI SSK and it was very slim


    The Parallax Tactical


    And now I am running the PWS DI handguard. It is part of their jump into the non piston world. I haven't done a grip picture yet but it is just a bit thicker than the other two, very comfortable though.

    I DO NOT get paid for my reviews.

    Wow never knew they had rails/handguards that slim. Wouldn't it be too hot to handle without always wearing gloves?

    I have not had issues just running drills and that sort of thing, a few mag dumps but I also haven't just dropped rounds just because, kinda expensive these days.

    I think there is probably a balance between thickness and working as a heat sink and thin and really well ventilated. The Midwest is really open and ventilated while the Parallax is pretty thick.

    Thanks for posting those recent pictures, of the MI Gen 2, shows the ability to wrap around, and the ventilation differences.

    No problem. I have write ups on tbe Parallax and SSK on here and the website. PWS is coming this weekend so I will get some gripping photos Friday.

    ETA: I don't have real big hands, I wear a medium glove and can just barely palm a basketball.

    Budget build? ALG might be tough to beat. Nice roundish profile you're looking for.
    No budget restrictions, the "slimness" of the NSR is very nice with a continuous top rail.
    Lots of good suggestions above as well. I agree with HMAC above, don't overthink it.

    I don't have big mitts either, FWIW.

    I have the 15 inch version of this rail and it fits like a glove!
