The Slate Vertical Grip is a purpose-built drop-in, screw-on upgrade for M-LOK rails and M-LOK-compatible surfaces. Engineered from the ground up for M-LOK mounting rather than adapted from Picatinny designs, it delivers a slim, minimalist footprint at the attachment point while retaining full-strength engagement. Developed with input from military and competition shooters, the grip's multifaceted geometry offers multiple hand-placement options to improve recoil control, barricade stability, and access to light and laser activation controls. Its compact profile supports comfortable carry and manipulation without impeding mobility. This is a short-profile vertical grip, not a full-length foregrip. AK/Magazine Clearance - the height and shape were selected to avoid interference with Kalashnikov-style magazines during reloads. Built for durability and harsh environments, the Slate Vertical Grip features full M-LOK lugs, steel mounting hardware, and a high-temperature-resistant polymer. It interfaces directly with Slate Grips panels to form a cohesive support-hand platform and provides a low-profile, robust solution for improved ergonomics across a wide range of platforms.
