Is the ATF going after pistol braces?

Is the ATF going after pistol braces?

In June 2021, the ATF struck again. This time, the agency aimed to redefine rifles, excluding AR pistols and braces from the definition. Instead, it would move braced-AR pistols into short-barreled rifle territory.

How does the ATF define a pistol brace?

A pistol brace is meant to allow operation with a single hand, because if a firearm is meant to be operated with two hands (like with a front pistol grip), then it is an “Any Other Weapon” or an SBR under the NFA unless it classifies as a full rifle due to its overall length and barrel length.

Which SB Tactical braces are ATF approved?

It is patently false that the SB15 and MPX PSB are the only braces that the ATF has “approved”. In addition to ATF “approving” competitive products, SB Tactical has obtained letters stating that braces such as the SOB, SBM4, etc. do not convert a pistol to a short barreled rifle.

What is the SIG Sauer SB-15?

This is the short and tortured story of the Sig Sauer SB-15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace, or “Sig Brace,” that at once launched a new industry in the AR market and called into question the Depression-era rules that govern firearms in a very different world. Ugh, What’s That?

Did SIG SB15 hack the NFA?

If you are like me, you remember seeing the Sig SB15 a while back and thinking “hey they hacked the NFA”. Of course we all know how it is supposed to be used, but let us get real and look at this objectively: Sig made an “arm brace” and got ATF approval for said arm brace.

What is the SB-15 pistol stabilizing brace?

Quietly launched midway through 2013 by inventor Alex Bosco and his company SB-Tactical, the SB-15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace was intended to help disabled shooters operate an AR-style pistol one-handed. The flexible plastic cuff wraps around a shooter’s wrist or forearm and an integrated Velcro strap secures the brace in place.

Is the SIG SBR brace worth it?

The rubber the brace is made of is very comfortable and is almost like having a giant recoil pad on the back of your gun. So all in all, I would say that at Sig’s price of $140 before shipping/taxes you would be better off paying a little extra to just SBR your gun (unless your state or country prohibits such a thing).
