Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Fortis Shift Handstop differ from a standard vertical foregrip?
Unlike a traditional vertical foregrip, the Fortis Shift Handstop is a low-profile stop designed to index your support hand consistently without adding bulk. Its organic, sculpted shape accommodates multiple grip styles — including thumb-over-bore — and can even be reversed on the rail to suit different hand sizes and shooting techniques. This versatility makes it a favorite among both competition shooters and tactical users who want control without the added height of a full foregrip.
Is the Fortis Shift Handstop compatible with my AR-15 handguard?
Yes — the Shift Handstop uses the M-LOK attachment standard, making it compatible with any M-LOK-equipped handguard on AR-15 and similarly railed platforms. Installation requires a 5/32" Allen wrench (hardware is included). It is not compatible with KeyMod or Picatinny/1913 rail systems without an adapter.
What makes the carbon fiber inserts on the red version special?
The carbon fiber inserts provide both a tactile grip surface and a distinctive visual contrast against the anodized aluminum body. Beyond aesthetics, carbon fiber is exceptionally rigid and lightweight, meaning the inserts contribute to the Shift's trim 1.1 oz weight while giving your fingers a secure, non-slip reference point during rapid target transitions or adverse conditions.
