Someone should create an adjustable (like a normal stock) brace, not all forearms are the same length.....

I guess it's been made...
Does it work well ? How does it attach to your forearm ? |

There is also the Maxim CQB Pistol PDW Brace. It looks awesome, but I don't own one so I don't know if it works great.

But isn't the reason for using a dedicated pistol buffer tube to prevent a conventional stock from attaching to the gun? If one could use a standard carbine tube, and still legally have a pistol, wouldn't they? |

They would sell like crazy in a brown paper bag. Packaging is just going in the trash anyway. They can come out with fancy packaging once sales slow down.

I see some pics posted here on the pistol forum of pistol owners displaying two or more of their pistols with a standard AR extension tube with nothing mounted. Obviously they could all be documented SBR's, but I was curious as to whether they could still be classified as a pistol as long as a true "stock" wasn't attached. I've never been clear on the legal description of this issue. I have one pistol lower that switches between two uppers. Some of the horror stories you hear occasionally about having various uppers, lowers, etc. on hand makes you wonder sometimes. |

So I was waiting on the an tactical/maxim brace as well. It seems an tactical had to redesign the brace itself, from what I was told to clear the charging handle. Makes sense if you look at any picture of the brace, the rubber part on the top is higher than the rest of the tube and higher than the top of the lower receiver where the charging handle goes over. I just don't see how it was in development for so long and no one caught it up to now...
What I also noticed is there are 2 distinct lines of skus, one more higher priced from maxim defense and a much cheaper priced ~$250 range from an tactical that has I think only 1-2 position. Maybe someone can confirm the material/quality difference? |

Seems they will be shipping now. Wahooooo! |

Also a good question. I think one of the videos I saw from them figured around $200 for the mod 2. That is the dedicated buffer tube, lock plate, castle nut and brace. Not horrible....I have no idea if that is what it will cost, just going off the one video.
I think I will need one mod 1 and off mod 2. |

I do like how the Tailhook Mod 2 is also collapsible. And it looks like it will be about half the price of the Maxim Defense one.

I hope the production model has a qd sling socket and has a small cover (think mini butt plate) that covers the top of the rear area...just look more finished.
Oh, and a FDE option, while I am dreaming out loud. |

The guy that runs it is a real enthusiast himself. If you already have a Shockwave and want a QD, it's pretty easy to grind the nubs off of an M-Lok QD and secure it to the flat portion of the Shockwave brace. |

Some of the horror stories you hear occasionally about having various uppers, lowers, etc. on hand makes you wonder sometimes. No stock is a pistol. You can take a pistol, remove the upper, put a 16" upper on and slide on a stock. Remove the stock and switch back to the pistol upper. |

I've read in several reviews that the Tailhook DOES have ATF approval as of last month, maybe they have not had enough time to revise their website?
Their facebook page refers to their Mod 2 as 'ATF approved'. Still, I'd have to see a copy of the actual approval letter before I buy. I keep copies of my SB47 & Shockwave approval letters on me anytime they come out of the safe. |

They do state it is approved as of now, so paperwork should come with it no? ETA: isn't SB Tactical supposed to be coming out with a collapsible brace for the ar15 platform that is just like the one for their MPX? |

I keep a rolled up copy of the approval letter in the grip of my pistols equipped with a Shockwave Blade as well. I honestly doubt a xerox copy of a letter would keep you from taking a ride downtown should any Barney Fife decide what you have is an SBR but it's worth a try. |

Quote HistoryThat video just goes to prove how stupid the rifle/sbr/pistol laws are. It's ok if it's short barred rifle because it's actually a pistol, but it's just a pistol as long as it doesn't touch your shoulder.....but it if touches your shoulder, then it's an SBR....but if it's an inch away from your shoulder, then it's ok because it's a pistol.
