AR15 pistol "stabilizing brace"
« on: June 12, 2013, 06:12:19 PM »
Don't know if anyone is interested but I saw this video and thought it may be of interest to any AR15 pistol owners.  I could see the ATF deciding that they don't like this idea in the future, but then again I have thought that about the bumpfire stocks for awhile now too. 

Price is $140 on the sig site

Since I own a new in box Sig & registered etc, got the email announcing this thing a while back.

Didn't particularly see the point of it, myself... having to "strap on" a firearm (that isn't a vulcan cannon)... is... erf.

But I'm not a fan of the ar-15 pistols either hehehehe.

Seems to me that if you had an AR pistol (I've never understood the point unless you live in an area where SBR's aren't allowed) it would make more sense to attach a single point sling and press forward on it to stabilize the gun.

It does, and works quite well.

I think part of the story with these had to do with an injured military vet. He only had one semi-functional arm and needed the brace to safely fire the weapon. Does anyone else remember hearing this? I'm sorry; I wish I had a source.

EDIT: just heard the guy in the video say the same thing.

This is how I usually shoot my Kel-Tec PLR-16, although I am waiting on a tax stamp to go ahead and put a shoulder stock on it...
