Most Helpful Positive Review Good but not Great
Maybe I set myself up. Saw it on a couple of AR builds so I decided to order one. Had it within a week. It's very easy to install and love the ease of operating the brace. Its very comfortable and collapses easy. My only gripe and the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because it has a little t...

Most Helpful Negative Review Nice brace cheap 6061 tube
This brace is a very nice brace that's better than the sba3 solely because it doesn't have a strap. Unfortunately they use a proprietary buffer tube design and it's inferior 6061. None of the top manufacturers use 6061 for a very good reason. 7075 is nearly twice as strong as 6061. Anyone seriou...

Best Brace on the market

by Kyle, Verified Owner from CA, United States Written on May 6, 2025
I own several of these on different pistol builds. I personally think this is the best brace on the market. I’ve had numerous SB Tactical, Blade Braces, this is the closest to the real thing you can get in my opinion. I highly recommend.
Pros:
  • None
Cons:
  • cost
Best Used for:
  • Pistol Builds

Love the concept of this type of brace instead of SBA style

by Timster, Verified Owner from MN, United States Written on December 14, 2024
The brace has a solid feel and I love the fact it doesn’t rely on a strap. The way the brace flips down seems very supportive.

Tailhook mod 2 review

by Mr Happy, Verified Owner from FL, United States Written on September 19, 2024
Pretty solid sturdy polymer.
I like the way it is smooth on top with no straps.
The flip out arm design is so much better than the "stuff the arm through the center" type.
I'll be buying more of these as back ups.

Looks nice but...

by Gary K, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on July 24, 2024
The brace is too loose on the supplied with the propritary buffer tube. It is proprietary so it should fit tight and smooth since its theirs. after installation there is no way to index it and tighten thentube to the receiver.? It appears that you have to purchase two parts in addition to the brace, as the tube will turn without the castlw nut and rear receiver plate. I am confused, suppose to have that. but not sure what to do now. the facts indicate that its parts that are on it. that aside it looks good but as before very much wiggle on thier tube.

This brace is a beast

by Niko, Verified Owner from NH, United States Written on February 23, 2024
Featuring a foldout support arm, it effectively counterbalances muzzle weight and stabilizes pistols against the forearm, works well for shooters of various sizes with five adjustable positions. With a lightweight build of just 6.7 ounces and a width of 2 inches, it strikes a balance between size, comfort, and sturdiness. Its telescoping latch mechanism offers five length options, with the longest providing a 12.75-inch length of pull. Constructed from injection-molded GF nylon, it ensures durability for rugged use. The inclusion of a proprietary buffer tube serves some legal purpose... it's important to note that this tube is specific to the Mod 2 brace and cannot be used with standard AR-style stocks.

GREAT brace!!

by Dagon, Verified Owner from PA, United States Written on March 13, 2023
We'll see what happens with the new silline4ss from the ATF, but as a brace, I dont think any other compares.

And as far as one handed shooting....this thing is heavier than most braces, but its also sturdier and works perfectly for one handed shooting!

Excellent quality

by Bagpiper22, Verified Owner from CT, United States Written on August 22, 2022
Excellent quality. Extremely sturdy and well-made. The Hingesd area and sliding mechanisms are solid and click in place with a confident thunk. Came with all necessary hardware. Great appearance as well. Adds to the look of my build.
