SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

[AetiusAbove]

Sig claims the ATF gave their okay, but what do guys think Cali DOJ would say?

Quoting Bill on this...

This was already reviewed in the 2A/legal forum...


ATF letter and exempt from Fed SBR law in no way controls how it's regarded vs separate California SBR law.

1. The 'device' looks appreciably akin to design of a CAR/M4 buttstock. It'd be very very easy for a CA judge to regard a pistol with such a device as an SBR ... "intended to be fired from the shoulder".

2. Furthermore there are no separate/overriding regulatory definitions of stocks that would help us clarify/restrict applicability of CA SBR law.

3. Given CA SBR has 'constructive possession' concept applicable (and is very broad) I wouldn't even own this - separate and unmounted from an AR pistol (and if you own no rifles) - because this is not just a simple AW 'evil feature' matter. [You also should not own spare regular buttstocks if all you own is an AR pistol, without also owning an AR rifle/receiver.]

seems to me you could accomplish the same thing with a padded arm band that you can keep in your underwear drawer.

If I ever did this, that's what I'd do (and probably will do if I own an AR pistol because my range asks we shoot it "like a pistol").

I also wonder about sling-shot like braces that hinge off the grip. They would do the same thing but not be stable enough to be a shoulder rest.

I know it's not a direct answer, but I don't trust the CA DOJ (or the Fed DOJ) to enforce the law as written, at least not for now.

I'm in maximum-caution mode.
