XTech Tactical has recently acquired Creature Grips in Q4 2025 and rebranded its rail covers as Thru-Flo rail covers for M-LOK handguards. The covers weigh 2 grams each, install tool-free, and feature pass-through ventilation for heat dissipation. Rail Covers come in handy for a lot of different shooting disciplines, but they’re often most used to help provide some additional grip texture on thinner AR-15, AK, or other M-LOK handguards, which are often smooth instead of textured.

XTech Tactical is proud to announce the acquisition of Creature Grips, LLC in Q4 2025, rebranding the innovative heat-venting rail cover technology as Thru-Flo™ Rail Covers compatible with M-LOK handguards.
“This partnership marks a continuation of the American Dream that inspired Creature Grip from the very start. XTech Tactical is uniquely positioned to bring Creature Grips designs to a wider audience and will keep pushing boundaries with the product line”, stated Alex Dombrowski, founder of Creature Grips.
Jeremy Deadman, President of XTech Tactical, added: “We are very excited to have completed our first acquisition. Our vision from inception was to not only grow organically but through acquisition as an energizing partner. Alex was phenomenal to work with and an example of a transaction that benefited all parties. We are actively pursuing additional opportunities to enhance our product mix, distribution and manufacturing capabilities.”
This acquisition integrates the patented rail covers previously known as Creature grips. Now under the THRU-FLO™ branding. The technology is a unique one-piece rail cover that includes a pass-through hole. The covers efficiently enhance the grip and vents heat from the barrel and handguard. The rebrand to Thru-Flo™ expands XTech Tactical’s portfolio with the same relentless, shooter-focused innovation the brand has delivered since 2013.
