I installed it on a 10.5” AR15 pistol, it was easy to install, and makes the AR look a lot better than when I had the SBA3 brace on it. Haven’t had the chance to shoot it yet but I’m sure it will work just fine. The only issue for me is it’s a little on the heavy side. But still worth the buy.

This stock is a quality build and a good addition to making an AR pistol into a PDW. I was able to get in and out of vehicles easily, and clear buildings and small rooms without the weapon getting into the way. The installation was easy and quick. I would STRONGLY suggest buying extra springs because it is inevitable that you will either bend or lose the originals when installing. Also purchase a decent quality AR armorer's wrench, and vice. I bent the takedown pin detent, lost two in the process, and eventually had to clip one of my reserve pins to get it back functional, but this was a user error. Remember to remove the brace from the buffer tube to prevent marring and scratching. There are plenty of youtube tutorials on removing and installing the buffer. It looks cool and has a high "chicks dig it" factor.
Best Used for:
- Room clearing/home defense
- Room clearing
- Vehicle carry

I tried to like this brace. But eventually decided to get rid of it. I just felt the brace was just too wide at the end and just wasn't the most comfortable thing for me. But overall the brace was high quality.

The SB Tactical SBPDW, at the time only available in black and has only 3-positions. Initialy I wasn't sure about this brace and now having used it, it is actually very well made provides a somewhat compact feel to it. SB Tactical needs to make a Stock version of this brace. No buffer or spring included. Buffer tube is part of the assembly.
Would recommend: Yes

Excellent replacement for a standard AR Pistol Buffer Tube. The 3 position limit is my only issue with this brace(- 1 star). It is very sturdy and construction seem very well made. No installation instructions included, but it was pretty easy to install if you have enough AR building experience. The end plate, buffer or spring is NOT included. Texture is close to a flat matte black, no other colors were available as a final clearance.
Pros:
- Excellent quality
- EASY INSTALL
- Sturdy construction
- Improved Appearance
Cons:
- Limited adjustability
- Final Clearance
- No other color options
Best Used for:
- AR Pistol Configurations
- M4 Milspec Carbine Buffer Tube
Would recommend: Yes

SBPDW on a Live Free Armory AR-10 Lower: prongs of the brace are too tight against the body of the lower. Very difficult to deploy or shorten the brace. No issues with any of my PSA AR-15 lowers. May need to play with it until the friction molds the parts...

Product as described and very well built. Easy to install and easy to use, very rugged, and looks great on the firearm. I would recommend to anyone building an AR Pistol, this is top of the line and worth the price.

Still works well.

One and only complaint; only one. Would have been 5☆ if the slide would extend without pushing the lever. Slows you down a tad when needing to engage in a hurry. Wanted FDE, but it was going to take too long to get back in stock, so went with black. I often paint my firearms anyway, so that wasn't critical.
Cons:
- Must push lever to extend stock
Would recommend: Yes

Overall this PDW Brace is good. I do wish the brace would collapse down a little more(the picture provided is the furthest it will collapse). I know that it will not collapse down any more than that because of the carbine buffer tube. Although, I have found some info on parts that are compatible with Maxim Defense, like the slide stock, it will work on this PDW...but Maxim Defense is crazy expensive. If you are looking for a REALLY short PDW...look at Maxim Defense instead(if you have the $$$). But all in all, it functions well and I am satisfied with the product.
Best Used for:
- Home defense applications on an AR pistol
