The modern crop of adjustable pistol braces are essentially stocks.
The only reason I'm not 100% sold is the potential for ATF ruling reversal down the road |

I have 5 SBRs and I say brace is better. Does everything an SBR does but also can ride in the vehicle as a concealed weapon and travel over state lines without permission from BATFE.

Do you often cross state lines with yours?

I hate to say it but aside for a few, the brace has made the SBR obsolete.

Both are good. I like my braces for ease of assembly and transport, and as a temporary build state to spread out costs and verify function. I like my SBR’s so they can look cooler, have more comfy (true) stocks, and to use foregrips. Modern braces have blurred the line considerably, and I consider them to be a much more viable option than even a few years ago.
Still, if you want a SBR (don’t we all?), there’s no substitute but the real thing. I’ve never regretted a stamp. If you like it then you should put a stamp on it. |

They are both sub-optimal for different reasons. Hence why I made this meme.
"Gay" work-around vs Bootlicker permission slip. It's just a regular gun with a shorter barrel, and yet it's jail-worthy somehow if you don't dance the robot just right. At least machine guns and supressors do something unique to "deserve" to be regulated. (No I don't support regulating suppressors or MGs).  Attached File |

SBR, mainly because the ATF has already changed its mind once and pistols/braces are already being specifically targeted by the antis.
That said, my next AR-type firearm will be a pistol. |

Get both.
For an AR, unless there's a very specific stock you want, I don't see much of a point. One SBR lower and the rest as pistols is best IMO. Can barely tell they're a brace with many of the newer ones On AKs? Depends on the build because looking cool is half the battle ya know. A wood AK SBR is some hawtness Basically every PCC? Brace that shit Lever action? Jesus titty-fucking Christ that's a crime against all that is good in life to put a brace on one |

Just put the order in for this sucker. Equipped from the factory with a folder and brace. No +6 month wait period, no Uncle Sugar’s dirty looks. Will probably swap the brace over to an SBA3. Wouldn’t mind the SBR route but “why”? Just crossing my fingers Sig has stepped up their QC and was made on a Tuesday.
ETA: Braces are a form of tax shelter. If you qualify for one, why wouldn’t you use it? |

No MS paint needed to demonstrate, but . . .
. . . I live 5 miles south of the TX/OK border and probably cross that state line 15-20 times a week . . . . . . always with one, or more, of my Shockwave braced pistols secured in my vehicle . . . . . . SBR's tags are a stupid waste of money.

I have a serious hankering for an SBA3.
I have no SBRs. More on principle than anything else. If you want to spend $200 + stock price you do you. Bur this whole, "braces are gay" shit really should stop. Makes you look like a petulant middle schooler. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: A simple form, sent to the ATF one time a year, will handle this problem in minutes. Then you can go wherever in the state, whenever you want, as many times as you want. Just date your form Jan 1 - Dec 31 and mail, fax or email it each November and totally forget about it afterwards. I keep current forms for Virginia and North Carolina and it takes me maybe 5 minutes a year to print my (already filled out) forms, sign and date them, and fax them to the ATF.

I have both as well and say brace is better. My SB PDW brace feels as good as my SBRs, I think looks better, and there's no wait! If the ATF changes their mind I'll need to start mailing in forms annually to cross state lines and not have it concealed.....
@RNB32 I believe you'd be violating the law with a once a rifle always a rifle by putting a pistol brace on a rifle lower. |

I like SBR's better.
Building a truck gun with a brace though. Can go everywhere with me, can lose it get stolen ect with no giant pain in the ass to deal with. It's going to be the worlds cheapest (but still reliable) smallest 5.56 rifle ( I mean pistol) I can build. |
