New pistol brace, both stupid and actually not bad

[Edwardteach72]

So came across this. And while most of what they say its "perfect" for honestly is just stupid and marketing, especially when they talk about for concealed carry no that's stupid

But but the whole time i was watching I thought not bad for a home defense gun, then they mention finally home defense.

It's a pistol brace for handguns and here is their stupid promo video

 

[BMF JK]

Not once in the video did that brace touch a shoulder , bravo !
Meh I’m thinking this is mostly stupid .

For sure mostly stupid,

 

[BMF JK]

No matter how stupid it is I’m certain it will sell and I’ll think why couldn’t I think of something stupid like that !

!!!HAHA It says "Not a stock" on the back.

I'm confident in saying that using it in the way portrayed would do absolutely nothing whatsoever to minimize recoil and increase stability. How could it? It's just against the guy's cheek. It's also too short to actually be used as a stock, and the semi curve to go into the forearm doesn't seem to function as such in any of the videos.

If it were longer so that it could be properly shouldered at least it would serve a purpose.

I can promise police will not be using this.

just what my Glock needed

That's why I was saying for 99% of what they are trying to pass it off as is junk but the HD I could see it being a meh option, but you can get a folding blade brace for glocks that would work just as good or better

 

[MilesTeg]

Pair that with a red dot and I'll be able to drop a bad guy at 200!

I don't think it's stupid at all. I like the idea that it's basically a pistol PDW stock. This is exactly what I think the design comes from, not so much focused on the concealed part, but they label and advertise it that way for obvious reasons; It's smart that they do. In terms of carrying appendix, which is my preferred method, I'm not sure it really grabs my attention as much, but something like OWB underneath a jacket could be a great option during the winter time.

I'd like the idea of using one at the range and for home defense purposes. I'd use one, but I don't own a glock. IMO any platform that can mimic a PDW weapon system is the pinnacle of defensive weapon value with firearms. What I really see is a telescoping stock, because that's what buyers would use one for, and unless you're a fudd or or don't like the tactical advantage, there's no reason not to like the idea. Oh yeah, and it looks pretty dope too. Very mall ninja!

 

[Edwardteach72]

I do believe the deployment method of this is deff something they got right

 

[Edwardteach72]

I could see an actual armed detail having access to better options. But for a HD or range toy, if the price was right, this is a damn fun idea (oh and let's not forget, arm braces are 100% legal to shoulder)

 

[MilesTeg]

Wait I can't use a weapon mounted light!? I'm back on the hater side!

In all seriousness I do admire peoples ingenuity.

 

[Edwardteach72]

I think they would have been better off pushing more of a home defense, trail gun, or even private security or armored bank truck drivers

Instead of police and military

Wml should be g2g.

I thought I saw something mounting to the rail, but doesn't appear so from that picture.

I was looking at model the shown at 1:08. That's what I get for skimming through the video.

So that's just the rails collapsed in., but it still looks like maybe say an Inforce may be slim enough to fit.

 

[MilesTeg]

Yup I realize that now.

 

[Edwardteach72]

I dont know if a surefire would fit or a streamlight

 

[DoD1776]

I dont get it... half of them don't even bring it to their shoulder...

 

[Edwardteach72]

Because its not a stock it's a brace

Recoil no but stability yes. It's another point of contact. Does a stabilizer brace for an AR help when putting it against your face help rather then just holding it out in front of you?

 

[Edwardteach72]

Not even going to lie, I am kinda interested in the price point on this and if it is right I may end up getting one

The price on that thing is pretty steep. I would be more interested if it was just a liiiitle bit longer.

 

[Marine Cpl]

They don't put it into their shoulders for liability purposes but everyone knows that everyone will shoulder it.

But like Gunslingerboy said, "stability." 3 points of contact is always better than 2.

 

[Acer-m14]

if i could only see the back sights with it that close to my nose with out the readers and with them on i'd be shooing a blur blob at 20 yrds .

Trijicon RMR or Delta point pro would help with that.

Also this is a fun knock off of the B&T USW Universal Service Weapon

I don't know that you can. If you pause the video at 25 you can see that if you go back far enough to shoulder then the rear sight will be at minimum parallel with your eye. Maybe even further back past your face. That's with a 17. To be able to shoulder, the rods would have to go past the muzzle of the gun. I don't know if there are different lengths for each model but if there were you would have to put say a 17 brace on a 19 and then there would be all the problems of the device extending past the muzzle.
