Handguards for AR-9

A handguard on the AR-9 determines where your support hand sits, what you can attach in M-Lok slots, and how the carbine balances across the positional and transitional demands of PCC competition. In IPSC PCC stages -- where you move between positions, engage multiple target arrays, and mount and dismount the gun frequently -- consistent support hand placement is the starting point for consistent performance. A handguard with a hand stop that locks your forward grip position removes one variable from that picture.
