Viridian Hs1 Hand Stop W/red Lsr Pic
The Viridian HS1 Hand Stop with Red Laser for Picatinny Rail combines two essential AR-platform accessories into one compact foregrip. If you're running a tactical or duty rifle and want to merge hand protection with an aiming aid, this integrated design puts both within reach. The HS1 mounts to any standard Picatinny rail and delivers a red laser sight activated by grip-mounted buttons—meaning you can dial in the laser without changing your hold or shooting position.
What sets this hand stop apart is its pressure-activated button design. Whether you're using a traditional C-clamp, thumbs-forward, or other modern grip technique, the ergonomically placed controls let you engage the laser naturally. The integrated red laser is bright enough to be useful in mid-range indoor and outdoor shooting scenarios, and the windage and elevation adjustments let you dial it in to your point of aim without external tools.
The hand stop itself provides the same functional forward grip you'd expect from a standalone unit—your hand stays protected from the handguard and rail hardware, and you get a consistent platform for repeatable shooting. If you're building an AR for home defense, competition, range work, or tactical training and prefer having a laser as a backup or primary aiming reference, the HS1 eliminates the need to mount a separate laser or hand stop elsewhere on the gun.

Frequently Asked Questions
What rails is the Viridian HS1 compatible with?
The HS1 mounts to standard Picatinny rails, which are found on most modern AR-platform rifles and many other tactical long guns.
How do I activate the laser on the HS1?
The laser is activated via pressure-sensitive buttons integrated into the grip. You can activate it while holding the rifle in whatever grip style you prefer—traditional, thumbs-forward, or otherwise.
Can I adjust the laser aiming point?
Yes. The HS1 includes windage and elevation adjustments so you can zero the red laser to your point of aim.
Is the HS1 just a laser, or does it also function as a hand stop?
It does both. The HS1 is a true hand stop that protects your hand and provides a foregrip position, with an integrated red laser sighting system built in.
