Reviews & Ratings for Midwest Industries Arm Brace Side Folding — 9 reviews — Page 1

One of the best arm braces on the market. MI really hit a home run with this brace. Add the MI riser to the brace, it is just right.

I put this on an RPB mac 10 and worked perfect, much better than the factory stock.

Hard to manipulate at first, absolutely solid lock up. Love it for a bufferless build, will buy again.

Easy to mount great machine work it's a little hard to fold but once you figure it out it works well and lockup is solid

High quality folding brace that fits nicely to Stribog sp9a3s Picatinny backplate.

This is perfect for my application. Length seems a bit shorter than I'd like, but it is longer than a pistol buffer tube. Instructions were great if you want to change the left or right side folding. Also included is a strap for your arm. You also get 3 stickers in the box. The 5 QD slots are excellent and anti rotation. It adds a small amount of weight but shouldn't be a problem. One issue is it is stiff the unlock from the extended position. It's easier from the folded though. This should lossen a little with use and how you grip the strut-arm.

I have always been a fan of Midwest Industries high quality products until now. This brace is almost impossible to open once in the locked position (unfolded or straight). I have to push with a extreme amount of force to get it to slide up enough (to unlatch) to push into the folded position. I have tried high quality thin gun oil and repeated working (breaking) it in.
It is a lot of money for a item I would never operate unless the gun is unloaded. Do not close or fold unless the gun is unloaded. I have to push the barrel into the table or my leg when sitting to be able to get enough pressure to operate. I'm going to give it a little more time to lighten up the spring tension before contact Midwest for warranty help. Also the strap that comes with it has no direction or advice how to attach it to your gun and your arm. It says to attach to the oval shape hole butt their is 4 oval shape of different sizes. It is on the heavy side at over a pound when compared to other brands. It is rock solid and well built, just needs some refinements. It is plenty long for the KP9 with pic adapter.

This is the best brace ever for an MCX. Solid, amazing, but, the length of it is about 1.5 inches too long in my opinion. It’s about 1.5 inches longer than the Sig Telescoping folding MCX stock when set at two positions out. Please MI make a shorter one.

Awesome brace. Best one so far. But I wish the LOP was about an inch shorter.
