What are your favorite rail covers?

I like the ladder style because I am cheap and I have not made the switch to key mod or mlok.

Triple Bravo must be hoarding all the MLOK Rails.

Dude those are beautiful, nice work.

Mine are from Executive Ordnance, those panels are for the Manticore Transformer Rail(s), but you can also get:

Same pattern for Keymod.

Thanks. Sweet, will check them out. No idea why there aren't more G10 options out there.

Anyone know a place to pick up a set of surefire ladder covers in black?

Not 100% sure but I believe they were discontinued. Great product nonetheless.

I like ladder rail covers for picatinny, KAC URX 3.1 rail panels, and I'd be interested to try Griffin's panel covers for my Parallax Tactical FFSSR rail.

So dumb question: how were the SF ladder covers different from the Ergo/Magpul ladder covers?

Softer, more tacky, and they sit lower in the slots. They also have a chamfer in the middle of each "rung" on the "ladder" which allows for more contact on the Picatinny rail with your hand, providing way more grip.

Kind of hard to explain, but it almost feels like you get the grip of a bare quad rail (which is to say a great amount), but without all the sharp edges.

Ergo/Magpul covers are just covers. They make it harder to grip a quad rail in my opinion.

Ive always preferred the ladder covers that Daniel Defense ships with their rails. No idea who makes those.

I would to spend a hour or two in his parts closet. He has photographed some nice stuff.

No, that makes sense. I was wondering if they were more "grippier." Sitting lower seems like would help, as well with that.

I'm pretty sure DD's covers are the same Ergo/Magpul covers. Personally, that's what I use most of the time, and they work great, but I can see why the SF covers would be an extra level of sexy.

I really like the BCM covers for KeyMod. I like them so much, that i ditched the Noveske covers on my NSR rails in favor of the BCM covers.

On a quad rail, basic ladder style covers work well. I also like the Knight's covers on rails that are designed to take them (KAC, DD RIS II, etc.).

I haven't found a cover i like for M-Lok rails yet.
