XTech Tactical did not just recently acquire Creature Grips. It fast-tracked the recently patented rail covers to market as the new Thru-Flo™ M-LOK rail covers. Each piece weighs a scant 2 grams per panel and is, of course, entirely tool-free to install.
According to the press release, some other features, other than grip comfort, include pass-through heat venting for better heat management between shooting strings, and a heat-resistant TPU construction for a great combination of grip comfort and wear resistance.
Compatible with slots under 3mm thick, Thru-Flo is intended to increase control on AR-15s, AK-47s, and MP5s without adding extra bulk. Black and coyote options, which are available now, start at $14.95 for 6-packs, with more color options and features to come soon.
I’ve actually been testing out some original Creature Grips M-LOK rail covers, and I’m excited to see what happens to the product line under the leadership of Jeremy Deadman and the XTech Tactical team in Arizona.
Key features of the Thru-Flo Rail Covers:
- MSRP $14.95 for 6-pack
- Ultra-lightweight at just 2 grams per cover, the lightest M-LOK compatible covers available.
- Tool-free, one-piece design for quick installation and removal in seconds: no hardware needed.
- Durable protection that enhances grip and control in hot conditions without added bulk; compatible with AR-15, AK-47, MP5, and other M-LOK platforms (optimized for slots under 3mm thick).
- Made in the USA of injection-molded TPU hard rubber
- Convenient 6-pack
- Color options: Black and Coyote (more to come!)
New U.S. utility and design patents, plus a lifetime warranty, just in case the grips happen to fail under normal use. The new grips are available now at XTechTactical.com/thru-flo, where you can also stay tuned for some interesting developments to be taking place soon with the new product line from XTech Tactical.
