The Viridian HS1 AR Hand Stop combines precision red laser targeting with ergonomic hand positioning in a single compact unit. This dual-purpose accessory mounts directly to Picatinny rails and provides both improved weapon control and instant target acquisition capabilities.
What Makes This Different
Unlike traditional hand stops that only provide grip positioning, the HS1 integrates a red laser sight directly into the hand stop body. The unit activates through natural grip pressure, eliminating the need for separate switches or buttons. The Flat Dark Earth finish matches popular rifle coatings and provides enhanced corrosion resistance compared to standard anodized surfaces.
Key Features
- Integrated red laser sight with instant-on activation
- Picatinny rail mount system fits standard 1913 rails
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote finish for durability and camouflage
- Ambidextrous activation accommodates left and right-handed shooters
- Low-profile design maintains weapon maneuverability

The HS1 performs effectively in tactical applications, competition shooting, and hunting scenarios where rapid target engagement is critical. The pressure-activated laser responds instantly to grip contact, providing consistent point-of-aim reference in low-light conditions. Weather-sealed construction protects internal electronics from moisture and debris during field use.
