DoubleStar is proud to introduce the "Strongarm" Pistol Brace.
When firing a PDW-style pistol, control is imperative. DoubleStar introduces the new Strongarm™ Pistol Brace. Machined from billet aluminum, the Strongarm™ provides a rock-solid plate that fits securely on most AR-style pistol buffer tubes with two clamp screws. For added control, the Strongarm™ also comes with a Velcro strap to secure the pistol to your forearm for easy one-handed shooting. Fits tubes from 1.11" to 1.2" in diameter. Recommended for use with the DoubleStar pistol tube, at 1.19" diameter. Now available here: Strongarm Pistol Brace

I like it, but is there a way to stake that knurled nut at the end of it, or is the whole system relying on loctite?

Does not look like the arm will fit inside. How does it actually fit over the arm?
What good is QD at the bottom of the brace? All it will do is rotate the pistol over itself--pretty useless |

I don't think you want manufactures of these braces confusing the two. Keep them separate, keep the ATF happy, and keep pistol braces around. Pistol braces go on pistol extensions, just keep it that way. |

I do agree that some soft shims would be nice to spread the pressure over different size tubes, like some flashlight mounts come with. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Dragynn: I went ahead and ordered the Damage Ind. 1.190 tube, but it was quite pricey compared to what I got my 1.11 and 1.25 tubes for. Seems like it would have been optimum to design this brace for the common 1.25 tubes, with maybe a couple of semi-hard plastic shims included to encompass the other sizes.

As for the anodizing, I hate to hear that is was unsatisfactory. If you change your mind, we'll gladly take it back and replace it. Thanks for your business! Having a lady who does custom leatherwork make me a strap w/buckle to replace the velcro, I think it will look pretty cool like that, trying to talk her into putting tiny conchos on it, lol, yeah i'm Texan, we do cheeseball stuff sometimes.

Man, got the tube in and got the whole thing put together (with just a cheap upper I had laying around to see what it would all look like).
Holy crap does it look good! I love that it's all-metal, had to have it that way due to wife's latex allergy of course, but it just looks and feels meaner and more business-like. And not that she would ever shoulder a brace...  .....but if she did, this would be the FIRST rifle in literally dozens of tries with different set-ups, that actually fits her for length-of-pull....guys, you have no idea how hard it is unless you've done it, to fit a rifle to a woman that's maybe 5'2" with T-rex length arms, small hands, and big boobies.
Damn nice Doublestar, thinking of buying a second one, and using it on her rifle, seems like it would be perfectly legal to shoulder it then with a 16" barrel? Oh and one more for me.

On the one hand BATFE is prepared to redefine machine guns and on the other one Tech Branch is so drunk they don't even remember the definition of rifle stock.
I'm baffled, but I'll take it. |

True that. I always say don't poke the bear if you don't have to. On a side note, for those that want to see how easy it is to install the Strongarm is to install, I made a short install video.
