About a week ago, after drinking too much, I woke up to an email from PSA saying I had bought this thing: Armalite M15 9mm
I've never felt a want for an AR "pistol" before so I've never paid them much attention. Now I've got this one and think it'll be a fun, inexpensive to shoot range gun. It has a Shockwave blade "stabilizer" which is pretty uncomfortable against my shoulder. I know, it's not supposed to be shot against my shoulder. What is it that makes an AR brace/stabilizer a brace/stabilizer? I've got a couple AR stocks laying around that fit fine. I always assumed braces attached differently than regular AR stocks but they don't.

I like to order stuff online when I drink, because the guy in the big brown truck shows up a few days later and it's like Christmas morning...

Mrs. Irish looks at the package and goes, "What's that?"
I'm like, "I have no idea. Let's open it up."
"Oh cool a tomahawk!"

She looks at me rolls her eye and shakes her head. "You're like a 15 year old boy."

I understand the SBR thing but what makes a brace a brace and when does it become a stock? A lot of the braces have straps but many don't.

The idea originated with being able to strap the brace to your arm for stability in order to overcome a handicap. Pretty sure that is correct. In my mind, without a strap or some way to secure it, the thing is just a useless appendage. I’ve considered AR pistols from a capacity standpoint but, never jumped in. I’m far from being an expert.

Bingo. I ordered some things from the Cabela’s bargain cave the other day. Ding dong. Wife said you have package. Hell I didn’t order shucks.

When we were younger we called that Drinking and Dialing.

Of course, we weren't trying to get a tomahawk. grin

It kinda depends on the buffer tube as well. Pistol buffer tubes are smooth. But it's (was) legal to use a RBT (rifle buffer tube. With the RBT the sb3 is nice. With the PBT The pdw brace https://www.sb-tactical.com/product/sbpdw/ is pretty nice and allows for some adjustment. Kinda pricey.
I don't really like the shockwave or fin. It was made early in the brace era. Then the sbpdw. Then folks went to the RBT and the sb3/4 was born. It's the cheaper and easiest IMO

Amazon is your best friend while drinking. I’ve never talked myself out of pushing the conformation order button while having an adult beverage or ✌️.
