Pistol brace's. Still for sale?

[gun'sRgood]

I used to see several booths at all the gun shows that had all sorts of those pistol braces. Add your Glock and have a folding stock and it looked like a mini sub gun sort of thing. I haven't seen these in some time. Did they go away with all this brace bans? Good thing the government is looking after us! Safety first!

Thanks for asking; been wondering the same thing myself.

Actually, they came back after various lawsuits were granted preliminary injunctions for 2A organization members and nationwide injunction under Britto v ATF. Recently majority of 10 or so lawsuits were consolidated with Mock v Garland and opening briefs are being made at the 5th Circuit - https://www.thehighroad.org/index.p...ace-rule-lawsuits.920838/page-5#post-12815985

Yes, they are available. I recently purchased a complete lower from PSA.

I put my braces back on. I'm covered by 2 injunctions to the ban on braces.

 

[CapnMac]

Technically, if I'm reading it correctly, enforcement is stayed pending final court arguments.
The "trend line" appears to be that BATFE will have over-extended its authority to make up regulations not defined by Congress.

Awesome! Sure wish there were more of you.

Sorry about my lack of the ability to post a cogent thought. While I am impressed with the level of response, it's these contraptions I wish to inquire about. PS, Live Life.... you are awesome!

... it's these contraptions I wish to inquire about.

I got interested in Glock Conversion Kits vs Pistol Caliber Carbines due to preference of "locked breech" action over "blowback" action that leaked gas and covered the case in soot (Can you say less consistent chamber pressure build and max average pressures to affect muzzle velocities and group size?). BTW, very thorough and comprehensive review with 25/50 yard range testing of CAA Micro Roni here - https://www.firearmsnews.com/editorial/the-caa-micro-roni-stabilizer-gimmick-or-go-to/307267

But living in CA, "Category 3/SB 23 Assault Weapons" turned pistols/conversion kits with evil features into "Assault Weapons" - https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/regagunfaqs#1

So any Glock Conversion Kits with following features are not CA legal - https://oag.ca.gov/firearms/regs/genchar2

12276.1 (a) Notwithstanding Section 12276, "assault weapon" shall also mean any of the following:​

• 4. A semiautomatic pistol that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine and any one of the following:
  • A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer.
  • (B) A second handgrip.
  • A shroud that is attached to, or partially or completely encircles, the barrel that allows the bearer to fire the weapon without burning his or her hand, except a slide that encloses the barrel.
  • The capacity to accept a detachable magazine at some location outside of the pistol grip.

Especially with various pistol brace lawsuit injunctions currently in place, looks like CAA has revised their product lines to better comply with injunctions using SB Tactical pistol braces - https://caagearup.com/products/micro-roni-roni/

This from their FAQ page - https://caagearup.com/pages/faqs-page/

"We are the exclusive licensee of the SB Tactical stabilizer brace for the handgun conversion kits ...The MCK Extended Stabilizer keeps the pistol classified as a pistol per (ATF) ruling"​

​

But this is also posted on the same FAQ page with disclaimer "It's up to the buyer to research their state and local laws ..." so for CA, while it may be legal to purchase and own CAA Micro Roni/MCK conversion kits, it may not be legal to install them if kits do not comply with section 12276.1.

​

"Do you ship to California, New York, and New Jersey?​

​

Yes we do ship to California, New York, and New Jersey the Non-NFA products. It’s up to the buyer to research their state and local laws, as they may change frequently."​

following:

• A threaded barrel, capable of accepting a flash suppressor, forward handgrip, or silencer

There are forward hand grips that attach to muzzle threads? Hope they're pretty long.

Yeah ... Crazy and stupid CA gun laws.

 

[gun'sRgood]

It is good to live in TN! Perhaps Florida is better? I watched a gal road raging a guy with a pistol. She took a shot at him and continued to brandish the gun holding him against his will. The cops came and everyone left. No ticket. Wow. Didn't think that was coming.

 

[BreechFace]

I wouldn’t mind picking one of the Recover Tactical 20/20 for my Glock 40 10mm. I have a threaded barrel and this would make for a great companion gun on road trips or backpacking. Throw in a suppressor and that’s a handy little package with a red dot on top.

I bought one of the Micro Roni stocks when they were threatening to ban them, but never utilized it. I've got a few firearms/items that way, lol. I live in WA state which has lost it's mind, so I try not to think about all of the stuff I have that is now illegal to purchase or sell. Moving to Idaho soon, so looking forward to freedom.

 

[Armored farmer]

I have heard that some people who live in states where black rifles have been banned......have just put a regular collapsible stock on their now illegal rifles or pistols or whatever you AR guys call them.

 

[AK Hunter]

I'm glad to see the prices have come down on them to reasonable levels for what you are buying.
I bought one just as it hit the market years ago & only paid $75 for it, then the rush for them started. I have see them selling for as much as $400 at the highest point of their popularity.

 

[Gordon]

I was un paranoid enough to get quick free SBR approval on all my "braced" hokey work around stuff. Best move in a long time I made.

If I want to cross interstate with any of them just remove the stock on a former sold as factory pistol in states legal to have such dangerous devices.

I have one of those - the other brand that makes them. At least the one you posted has a trigger guard / flip up trigger protector. Mine doesn't and makes the thing just about worthless.

If you don't already own one, I'd tell you not to waste your time with it.
