Sig Sauer® SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace
Rob PincusDescription
I'm standing here in the SIG Sauer booth and this is definitely one of the pieces here at the NRA annual meeting that has got a lot of people talking. This is a pistol stabilizing brace and it is obviously designed to be put on the back of an AR type pistol. In this case, we're dealing with one of the SIG 556's. Talk to me about this, man. What is this all about?
What's it for? What it's able to do, is if you fire a pistol, especially AR-platform in the 556 out there one-handed, you get fatigued pretty easily on there. Sure, sure. So fatigue out, it can also equate out to degradation in accuracy and so forth. So what we've done out there, is we have this brace out there.
It sits over the shooters forearm. Okay. Holds in there and they're able to basically stabilize the pistol a lot longer, less fatiguing and so forth. So the idea is this is still intended to be fired as a pistol. Absolutely.
Obviously this has been approved by BATFE? Sure has. And I guess, a letter comes with the device when you buy it. So this is legal for sale. Anybody who can legally own a SIG 556 pistol version or an AR type pistol, can legally get this.
And obviously now, that right away has taken a lot of the weight off of this particular pistol and put it back here on my forearm. So now I get more deviation control and extension. Obviously, this is gonna give me more stability anywhere enclosed as well, but still intended to be a pistol and still legally defined as a pistol. Yeah. And the main reason why this came about out there was actually for some of the veterans returning home, they've had injuries and they can't do that.
This is kind of what it was intended for, originally marketed for and in fact a lot of the sales that goes to this, supports Habit. Oh, sure. assessing out there, so of course that all the purchases goes out there to support their organization as well. Excellent. So that's good.
That's a piece of information, I didn't have. This originally designed to help some of the disabled shooters and our wounded veterans and all the sales are gonna help them out. But obviously it's something, if you're into AR pistols, if you're not into the SPR's, if you don't wanna jump through the hoops to get that, this gives you some of the advantages with increased stability, increased accuracy and less fatigue. And I really appreciate it. Pretty cool thing from SIG.
Thanks sir. Keep watching Personal Defense Networks coverage of the NRA annual meetings 2013.
