Most Helpful Positive Review smaller footprint
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 most people aren’t going to use it with it open. ...

Most Helpful Negative Review Nice design but product quality is lower
I bought an original Mod1 when they first came out and it is a great product. The compact model follows in it's footsteps but the finish on the parts is not anywhere close. The parts look and feel like a matte black paint that might not last. This new Mod1 doesn't have the precision feel of the e...

Love the mod 1 compact

by Azjorge55, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on August 19, 2025
I've got three of these braces the first two were the larger size and I'll tell you what I wish I would have just ordered all of the compact size because they're much more sleek and smaller I think it looks better it doesn't hit the side of my lower when I have my brace folded like the larger ones did and I don't have any problem as far as its size shouldering it or anything. I think it's really comfortable I would definitely recommend getting the compact size. I'll be getting some more.

A Perfect Addition To My Collapsible Stock

by John Miller, Verified Owner from GA, United States Written on August 19, 2025
Purchased for use on my Safety Harbor collapsible stock and it fits great and the construction is just solid. I think going with this smaller version makes for a more compact easy to stow package on my MP5K clone. Definitely a positive lock on the closure as well.
Pros:
  • Compact Size
  • Lightwieght
  • sturdy & well built
Cons:
  • None
Would recommend: Yes

Best of the best!

by Terry, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on August 19, 2025
Have been using for years. This is number 6 or seven. No silly little straps or cords. I do prefer the 1c for most applications, just feels better.

Tailhook mod1c

by Fodus, Verified Owner from TX, United States Written on August 17, 2025
This is the one to buy if you are putting together a folding stock. Fits perfectly and does not contact the receiver when folded. The standard tailhook would not have worked as well. Looks great.

Gearhead Works Mod1c

by Fed boy, Verified Owner from WI, United States Written on August 15, 2025
Optics planet had the best price by far. I took a chance knowing that it may ship 6 months from now or not at all. To my surprise it as at my house within one week.

Now the downside. The sig spin fix by gearhead works was not in stock now going on 2 weeks. I'll be surprised if that eventually ships or if I just cancel and order from somewhere else.

Got time to wait?

by Wombstretch, Verified Owner from AZ, United States Written on 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.
Pros:
  • excellent price
Cons:
  • None
Best Used for:
  • Any Pistol brace
Would recommend: Yes
