SB Tactical™ Announces Reversal of ATF Open Letter on the Use of SB Tactical Pistol Stabilizing Brac

peggysue · April 25, 2017, 11:09 AM

The new clarification of opinion letter states, “an NFA firearm has not necessarily been
made when the device is not re-configured for use as a shoulder stock – even if the
attached firearm happens to be fired from the shoulder

I happened to note this information in the NFA section which I do not frequent. The brace is not NFA. Please remove post if needed. i think it is good news for us brace users of pistols.
Thanks

The shoulder brace/shoulder stock is one of the regulations I really, really wish would go away.

The thing is, putting one on a handgun makes the handgun HARDER to conceal. I can't understand even ardent anti-gun folk having a justification for this rule.

I really think suppressors and shoulder stocks for handguns would NOT change the dynamic of 'gun violence' even a little bit. And who knows, there IS some movement for allowing suppressors in the works.

(And could the ATF please leave off with the double negatives?)
