They both work ok.
I think Mlok works slightly better. I have one keymod, my first modular rail that came on an assembled BCM upper. It works fine. I would not hesitate to get another IF I liked it better for whatever reason. |

And damn you, I can't unsee it now. Yeah... Not going to buy one now.  Reminds me of this local landmark... https://austinmotel.com/we-see-it-too/ |

The main advantage of Mlok is the fact that it has become so much more popular than key mod, which is basically going the way of the dodo bird. If you want compatibility with future parts, stick with mlok

Only you can prevent DickMod uppers from propogating in the wild.

if all of your accessories are M-Lok, stick with that. no sense adding in something that is compatible with the rest of your equipment.
if you want some crazy colored rail so bad, just rattle can the bitch. |

There's a reason that you can find so many options in keymod in these troubled times where all the good stuff is out of stock. Nobody wants it unless they invested in keymod gear before the tide turned.

KeyMod is gayer than cum on a moustache.

Quote HistoryQuoted: There's a reason that you can find so many options in keymod in these troubled times where all the good stuff is out of stock. I was just about to say this. KeyMod stuff is still readily available because most people don't want it. M-LOK is the way to go, in my opinion. Unfortunately, a lot of the M-LOK stuff is sold out these days, but I think you'll be far happier with that attachment system when you finally find one that's available, OP. As others have said, aside from providing a solid mount for your accessories, the M-LOK system looks a lot nicer than the KeyMod system. M-LOK slots essentially blend in with the design of most handguards. They're much more streamlined, and basically resemble ventilation slits in the handguard, whereas KeyMod slots look a lot more "industrial," and practically scream "I'm an accessory attachment point!"

KeyMod is sometimes referred to as a Home Depot handguard. I think Noveske was the first to use them.

I have both, and prefer M Lok, it just seems like a far more secure system to me. Keymod seems a little easier to mount things to the rail though.

Have both and pic rail. I’ve never had issues with KeyMod staying put. I have had issues with MLok accessories buggering up the rail. All are plenty strong for hard use if you buy quality stuff.
KeyMod isn’t gay as long as you keep the dicks pointing away from you. |
