Precision. Control. Style. The Fortis SHIFT™ Reversible Handstop – Carbon Fiber FDE combines cutting-edge materials and a striking flat dark earth finish for shooters who demand performance and aesthetics. Designed for the AR-15 M-LOK platform, this carbon fiber handstop enhances grip, handling, and maneuverability without adding bulk or weight.
The SHIFT™ line from Fortis Manufacturing represents a perfect balance of innovation and craftsmanship—engineered for shooters who expect more from every component on their rifle.
Carbon Fiber Strength Meets FDE Durability
The Fortis SHIFT™ Handstop is more than a grip accessory—it’s a control system designed to elevate your shooting performance. The body is precision-machined from 6061-T6 aircraft-grade aluminum, with carbon fiber inserts to reinforce structural strength while minimizing weight.
Finished in a rich Flat Dark Earth (FDE) coating, it’s designed to match popular AR-15 builds and complement other Fortis FDE components like the REV II Rail and Switch MOD 2 handguards. The Type III hardcoat anodized finish ensures long-lasting durability in any environment.
