SB. You can get away with shouldering it.

I read you can shoulder both now. Can you not shoulder the shockwave?

You can shoulder both. You may be in violation of federal law if you do so intentionally.

I own both.
The sbpdw is better in every way, except.....well, the weight. |

Thought the ATF only signed off on the SB, not the Shockwave. I believe Shockwave came up with some Mickey Mouse letter claiming to be included in the SB Letter, when in affect they were not. |

None are designed to be stocks, they are designed to be arm braces but resting an ''arm brace'' against the shoulder does not magically make a ''stock''. BATFE letters explain the agencies stance on use and design of weapons. A letter to one person explaining a rule does not make the rule specific to that person alone. Once an explanation letter is given it is the agencies stance of a rule for everyone to follow. The BATFE does not have different rules for each person, they have rules that apply to everyone. |

I have both. If I could afford SB Tactical PDW braces on all of my AR pistols I would!

I also have the SB PDW brace on a PSA AR45 pistol, and it is a chunk of weight but it balances the pistol out. Advantages is that no proprietary recoil parts are required, and at full extension it's about the same length as a regular stock. If i wanted a lighter build i would go for something else...

ATF says you can shoulder both. The shockwave has a very thin profile and is made of rigid plastic. The braces made of soft rubber with more material against your shoulder are more comfortable. The shockwave is cheaper. If the brace being comfortable against your shoulder under heavier recoil is more important to you than the ~$170 difference, then there's your answer. (Sometimes sig has their braces on sale from $200 to $50 and its a no brainer).

Mine is going on a .22 so no worries there but may buy the shock wave to see if I like the lighter weight. Sell which ever I don't like. Funny how projects keep getting more expensive, just when you think you are done!

What are you guys shooting that the recoil thru a shockwave is bothersome?
Sure isn't a big deal with 300BLK.... |

I have both, installed on 2 different pistols.
The Shockwave looks good, does the job, is light and not too expensive. The PDW looks good, does the job, is heavy (about 1 pound) and very expensive. Right now I'm loving the PDW.

I initially built 2 pistols with shockwave blades. I bought one PDW brace used on gunbroker and liked it so much, I ordered another one brand new at pretty much full freight. the shockwaves are now sitting in a box in my garage collecting dust. tl;dr - PDW brace is worth it.
