Outstanding hand stop and what a bargain! - Leapers UTG Super Slim Keymod Hand Stop/Barricade Rest Kit

OK all you fan boys of the big names, you are not going to like what you read here. I know a lot of people turn their noses up at UTG/Leapers items but this hand stop is fantastic. The finish is flawless, it has minimal weight for its size, which is not overly large, is contoured nicely to keep it from digging into your hand during recoil, and is as well made as any I have examined, including the $50 big name hand stops. Spend the extra money if you want, but you are only paying for the name.

The UTG hand stop barricade rest attaches easily and fits the Midwest Industries G3 UL KM octagon shaped 8 sided handguard like it was made for it.
And the recoil I mentioned above, yes, an 8" .458 SOCOM SBR does recoil a bit with 525 gr. hard cast at 1300 fps, and with a 10.5 inch MI G3LWKM 8 sided handguard and MI flash can, the end of the handguard is only a quarter inch back from the muzzle. Putting your hand too far forward will ruin your day, and a blocky sharp-edged hand stop will equally make its impression if it gets slammed into your knuckles. The UTG Hand stop/barricade rest will prevent you from getting your fingers in front of the handguard, provides a good barricade rest, and will not cut/nick/bruise you if you are shooting with your hand up near it and shooting something that has a little more recoil than the 5.56.

The unit installed easily, taking only a few seconds, and locked up as tight as a tick with its USA made steel keymod attaching assembly and is a fantastic bargain. But go ahead, pay $50 for a big name tacticool hand stop and pretend you are a Seal Team 6 commando, but you are only fooling yourself. This little UTG gem is a real bargain at $15 including shipping!

While I have not had any problems with the attachment screw loosening up, I do suggest a half drop of BLUE Lock-Tite on the threads, just in case. The next time I take it off I will be adding a half drop just to make sure, but so far, 40-50 rounds, it has not loosened any, but I don't really trust it not to loosen up since there is no Ny-lok on the attachment screw.
