The most critical element of the ShortStop that has been carried into the design of the LongStop is natural, repeatable indexing… Almost all handstops, foregrips, etc. are repeatable, but not all are natural – this is partly why you may notice that so many of the world’s best competition rifle shooters run “slick” rails, and likewise is why an increasing number of instructors are now requesting students to start classes with slick rails before adding anything on.
The designs of many prevalent options on the market increase tendencies to over-drive the muzzle, particularly laterally, under recoil and through dynamic target engagement/transitions. The short and sweet “why” for this, is that these options encourage “direct” rearward pressure, where the stock in your shoulder pocket becomes the pivot point, and your support arm pulls and pushes around that pivot as it attempts to apply that rearward pressure.
A slick rail or a handstop such as the ShortStop promotes a leveraged thumb forward application of pressure that circumvents this issue + increases control of the muzzle, and in the case of the Short and LongStop designs, also enables far greater comfort and long term usability. You can visualize this thumb forward pressure by imagining the proper application of torque through your pinky when managing handgun recoil.
The presence of a properly designed handstop or angled foregrip (ShortStop or LongStop) will enhance your ability to manage recoil and muzzle rise in a natural, repeatable, effective manner, without increasing your likelihood of inadvertently over driving the muzzle, and without coming at the cost of comfort.
