    I don't use much in the way of rails period, but for covering the portion of a rail on an upper receiver not occupied by a rear sight and/or optic, or the rare other instances when I need a handguard rail covered I use the ladder style. I tend to buy no-name knockoffs off Amazon because they are way cheaper than the name brand ones and I'm always cutting them up into various lengths.

    Simple ladder type rail covers are my #1 choice, because they weigh half as much as most other options and are easy to add/remove. I think Ergo makes nearly all of them regardless of who sells them.

    I often use one full-profile cover on the bottom rail where I place my hand. I don't care much which exact style, but most often I use Ergo again, largely because I got a bunch of them on clearance years ago. Rail covers at MSRP are massively overpriced.

    As an FYI - KAC will either be perfectly tight or will wiggle a little bit. Not sure if it's new ones, used ones or a mix.

    Have used the ergo/magpul/whoever ones and they work pretty well and would likely be in my top three for rail cover choices. Have used the KAC ones before, though not in a while, they work for what they are, but not my first or even third choice. Also used the Magpul XTM covers, liked them for being secure, though there was a little wiggle with some, not easy off either for those who care. They get the job done, though are a bit wide in my opinion, liked the texture for grippiness over the ergo ones which can be a tad slick. The ones I honestly like the most are the Larue index clips, easy one, pretty easy off though not too easy, and easy to adjust length of coverage as needed. Being able to plumb by weapon light switch cord is a nice bonus too.

    I bought some knock off midwest keymod panels to see if I'm gonna like this t. I literally built a try-out rifle. Usually a M4gery guy, but wanted to try something more modern?
