I got mine here.  He is a member and a veteran.  They were on sale (brace only) for $20 at Thanksgiving.

+1 on the Shockwave.  Couple it with a LAW folder adapter and you have a cool, small package.

I got a Shockwave and buffer tube from Rainer for $60 or so with expedited shipping.

Also depends if you want a color choice, finding a basic black for $40 isn't hard but most vendors that have other colors are charging list price.
I did see either Midway or Brownell's recently offering all colors for $40, not sure if that was a sale.  

The newer SB braces are sleeker than the original SB47 on my Draco but they seem to run about $100 over what a Shockwave brace & KAK tube go for.  My AR pistol & Scorpion Evo both sport shockwaves.

I bought a KAK blade kit around Christmas time for $95 and added some sights to get $10 bucks off. It took care of shipping.

Will the blade work on a standard mil spec buffer tube?

If it does, I would take a drill and create my own dimples. Probably wouldnt need more than one as I doubt I need to move the thing around anyway once I found my sweet spot.

A.  I doubt the Shockwave blade will properly work on a Mil Spec Buffer Tube.
B.  If you can't swing the $$ for the Shockwave Kit posted above, then you might want to pursue a different hobby or activity.

The milspec, or commercial, standard buffer tubes designed for sliding stocks won't work with the Shockwave Blade, due to the large rib on the bottom of the tube.  However, any round pistol tube will work and yes, you can drill a small dimple.  No big deal and would save some coin if you had bought a pistol kit that came with the tube.  Once you have the stock set where you want, just screw the screw in till it touches, then a bit more to make a mark.  Take off the stock and either a hand drill or drill press, run a small divot in the tube at the mark you made (which doubles as a centerpunch dimple), then you are all set.

I ended up getting the KAK tube as it was only $24 shipped.  With all the adjustment options it made sense in case later I wanted a different set up.

Wow... Ordered on Monday and received Friday with standard shipping. I had never ordered from Schulyer before so I was a bit hesitant but am very impressed with their quick shipping.  I'm also REALLY happy with the Blade so far. Just pulled my buffer tube off, replaced it with the KAK dimpled tube and will play with the length. Really think my pistol looks complete now.
