Magpul is now shipping to distributors and dealers the XTM Handstop Kit and XTM Enahnced Rail Panels. Currently black is available, with other colors like stealth grey and pink to follow. The XTM Handstop kit is a four-piece, configurable, lightweight, low-profile rail mounted index point or a forward stop. As an index point it's designed to improve weapon control, and as a forward stop to help prevent a shooters hand reaching the hot front sight assembly or muzzle. The kit includes one Hand Stop, one Index Panel, one full XTM Enhanced Panel, and one XTM Enhanced Half Panel, with an MSRP of $19.95. The XTM Enhanced Rail Panels replace the original XTM Panels. The Enhanced XTM Panels feature an aggressive anti-slip texture and dual-side routing clips for retention of light/laser cables. They can attach anywhere on a 1913 Picatinny rail, and are a low-profile, two-piece design. The construction ensure the panels will remain in place under all operating conditions, but allows for easy removal using the tips of two rounds when necessary. The XTM Enhanced Rail Panel set has an MSRP of $7.95 and comes with four (4) two-piece panels which will cover ONE side of a carbine rail. www.magpul.com Why you can trust RECOIL Since our founding in 2012, RECOIL remains the premier firearms lifestyle publication for the modern shooting enthusiast.
