The Fortis Mfg Shift angled fore grip is a short, hybrid-style grip built for shooters who want more control and speed without sacrificing comfort. This black anodized aluminum grip works equally well as a hand stop for thumb-over-bore grip technique or as a traditional angled fore grip, giving you the flexibility to adapt your hold to your shooting style, whether you're running drills at the range, hunting in the field, or training for duty. The organic, ergonomic shape lets you manipulate your rifle with the kind of confidence and precision that more conventional vertical grips simply don't deliver—especially when you need to transition quickly or maintain precision under stress.
Built from aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum and finished in military-spec Type III hard coat anodize, the Shift short is a purpose-built piece of gear that's light enough not to bog down your setup but stout enough to handle hard use. At just 2.5 ounces, it won't throw off your balance or add unnecessary weight to your handguard. The one-piece billet construction means there are no seams or weak points—it's a solid, American-made component designed to last.
Whether you shoot modern sporting rifles, tactical setups, or hunting platforms, the Shift short is a smart upgrade if you've outgrown vertical grips or thumb stops that limit how you can hold and work your rifle. It's the kind of accessory that once you run it, you'll notice the difference in your ability to stay on target and move fast.
