Keymod vs M lok

[norcalAF]

Don't blame the OP, who is new. His/her is still in late 80's reality of Glock Perfection.

Hey hey hey now, there is plenty of room to love Glocks and M-Lock.

Either will work for range/duty use, outside of heavy mil use. Its really a non issue. My Noveske upper has KeyMod and don't feel hampered one bit. No reason to change.

[emoji23] my comment was partly in jest. Own Glock myself and "like" it for what it is. A simple reliable design that was groundbreaking in the 80s. But it most certainly isn't and will never be perfection.

HKeymod

This is the way.

Keymod is the iPhone of rail systems

If you are going with a proprietary method of attachment, HKeymod isn't the way to go due to minimal support even from HK. Keyslot (AI) has more options and is as strong as Mlok.

Totally a joke on my part...

I got keymod on my AR because that's all that was available when I bought it in Dec 2016. Then again I'm not attaching tons of stuff to it like a Christmas tree so it's not a big deal to me.

Double heat shield m4 handguards here. Nothing to hang on my KISS carbine.

I have both, I prefer my Mlok but I don't have a problem with Keymod. My PWS came keymod and the Railscales are awesome on it. the Mlok has the advantage of cheap MAgpul add ons though.

[Grumpyoldretiredcop]

Don't really care as I don't hang rails all over my handguards. Keymod handguards tend to be much less expensive as Mlok has taken the lion's share of the market though.

[The War Wagon]

HEY! WHAT an idea!!! I think I'll switch mine from FDE, to a black & white theme!

Make it look like a Saturn V!

[Skip_Dog]

I been using double heat shield m4 handguards for a long time. When it was time to Ken and Barbie up a few, I went MLOK. Missed the KeyMod era.

[Paperchasin]

Without getting into preferences, I read that the transition to M-Lok was due to Keymod not performing well in drop testing.

On a side note, Mlok is owned and licensed by Magpul whereas Keymod is open source.
