This is the way to go if you do not want to form 1 your MP5. Pros: The brace is solid and well built. By being collapsible it does not add any thickness to the gun that a side folder does. It has three positions settings and a QD mount for a sling. It did fit my Military Armament Mac-5 clone, which I was a little concerned about when first ordering. It looks good and it's as close to a stock as you can get if you do not want to form 1 the gun. Cons: It does add weight to the gun because it is sold metal not flimsy polymer. It's a bit pricey. It took a little effort to install because the fit was tight. Be sure and blackout the 3 set screws on the bottom of the brace before installing. The 3 set screws add support but they do have to be backed out in order to strip the gun for cleaning. Overall I am very pleased with it and would purchase it again. I am glad it fit my Mac-5 clone. I would rate it 4.5 stars if I could with 1/2 star deduction based on the price alone , not form or function. Also - Dirty J Designs makes a plug for the brace, which gives it more of a stock look for an additional $20.

This is a good bag that addresses a specific need. It has a hook and loop interior compartment that allows for secure storage of a foldable sbr or AR pistol. It has a zippered pocket for a ballistic shield. It has another compartment with molle to secure other items (a triple AR mag carrier fits perfectly) along with other items (IFAK, etc). The are other pockets as well as an exterior pocket with zippered sides that could be used for quick access to a handgun. The bag is discreet. It doesn't scream tactical. It is a bit pricey but the materials and zippers are of high quality. The bag also has a reinforced spine so it doesn't collapse. With a stowed sbr, 4 loaded pmags and other gear total weight is right at 20lbs. Grab and go for sure. I've been looking for something like this for a while and this is a high quality solution - worth the expense IMHO.
