The rubber wings that go around the shooter's forearm are curved for comfort, but the brace is one of the widest ones as a result. If you have the use of only one arm, this brace will allow you to shoot a "long-gun handgun" much safer and with greater accuracy.

Let's take a look at some of the pistol braces currently on the market, separated by manufacturer. Since then, an ever-increasing number of companies have been introducing braces, and companies as conservative as FN and LWRCI are offering pistols equipped with arm braces from the factory.ĭespite the doom-and-gloomers predicting the demise of the AR pistol brace, the opposite has happened: more and more braces of increasingly interesting design have entered the marketplace. In 2013, SIG Sauer brought to market the SB15 PSB (pistol stabilizing brace).
