Questions & Answers
I am confused , in your pictures it shows this is the MOD 1C but in the description it says Mod 1. I am trying to buy the right one for my pistol.

It says mod 1 COMPACT which stands for "C" in "MOD 1C"

What’s the length of the mod1 compact? Expert Answer

Gear Head Works does not provide the length of the TailHook Mod 1 compact. I would recommend reaching out to them directly for more specific information.

Helpful Positive Review Got time to wait? by Wombstretch, Verified Owner, May 9, 2025
It took weeks to receive my order. I was in no rush so it was no big deal. However the price was much better than elsewhere. So if you place an order, don’t expect it anytime soon.

Helpful Positive Review Solid replacement by RedbearMB, November 12, 2020
I ordered this as soon as I purchased my copperhead. It’s A solid replacement for the MPX factory brace with non spinning adapter. Made a huge difference in the feel of the brace. If your using the floppy spinning dig brace your missing out.

Helpful Positive Review smaller footprint by buck, Verified Owner, July 18, 2020
Having the original tailhook and this I feel the new mod 1c is best for most applications. I have it on my scorpion and it makes it easier to put in a backpack and it has a lower chance of snagging on something. It functions like the original one but...

Helpful Positive Review Works " GREAT " by Sleath, October 18, 2020
This Gearhead tailhook compact model is perfect for my pistol brace build. It's lighter than the full size model and smaller. The finish isn't glossy which I prefer. I'm 160 lbs average build. The arm brace fits my arm perfectly. If, you have huge bi...

Helpful Positive Review Great compact brace by Ronald, Verified Owner, November 21, 2020
Fits well on my B&T APC. Lightweight and easy to maneuver with. Compactness of it makes it easy to store and retrieve the firearm at a moment's notice when used as a home defense weapon. It is easier to deploy and operate as a forearm brace than the ...

Product Info for Gear Head Works Tailhook Mod 1 Compact Pistol Brace

The Patented Tailhook MOD 1C is 30% lighter and 30% more compact than or standard Mod 1. With a profile similar to the SCW Tailhook it truly is the most compact pistol brace on the market today. At less than an inch thick, it can be adapted to practically every platform on the market. This version clamps to pistol buffer tubes or adapter spuds ranging from 1.17" to 1.2" in diameter. To activate the brace functionality, depress the release button and pull the arm down. This creates the shelf that will counterbalance the muzzle weight of your large frame handgun. The ability of your forearm to hold the weight allows you to relax your shooting wrist and concentrate on trigger control. True one handed operation is achieved since you do not need a second hand to attach the brace to your arm. MOD 1C can be set up for right or left handed operation.image
