Is there any reason a Magpul ASAP woudnt work with a pistol buffer without some modifications? I read a thread where people were talking about not using the tab thats included with the ASAP, but im not exactly sure why.

Depends on the buffer tube. Most don't have the slot that is used to keep the end plate from rotating.

The KAK industries Super SB15 buffer tube uses a castle nut and standard style end plates. I have the ASAP on my pistol using the SB15. Not sure if you planned on using the brace or not.

Yes I plan on using a Sig brace. Would you recommend I use the KAK buffer tube instead if I plan on using the ASAP?

I think the Spikes Pistol buffer tube allows you to use the ASAP without modification. It's also a tight fit with the Sig brace. Let me check my Pistol lower to confirm that it has a slotted end plate to confirm though...

ETA-
It does

Absolutely. The adjustable "LOP" is worth it.

I used the ASAP on my pistol build while waiting for the stamp to come back. If I remember correctly I just omitted the small piece that fits in the notch.

I hate my ASAP.  the thing is loud and rattles all the time.  The ring seems to alway get stuck on the wrong side.

That could be a reason for cutting the ring off.
