    Question for Shockwave Blade owners...

    If you've got the Shockwave Blade brace, does it stay tight over several hundred rounds?
    I've seen some videos where they shoot loose.
    I know you have to use some LocTite on the screw, just wondering how tight it stays over time.

    Thanks.

    Mine shook loose, I added LocTite and after 50 rds of 9mm, it's staying put so far. Time will tell.

    Bought mine with a specifically designed buffer tube that locks the shockwave brace. I have about 500 rounds through with no issues. However my form 1 came back recently and I'm looking to sell my shockwave with specially designed buffer tube. P.m. if you're interested

    I've never put mine through a torture test, but in the few hundred rounds I've fired haven't shook mine loose.

    I think using the recommended buffer tube with slots is the only way to go on this. I think KAK sells the entire kit for $95.

    That's the kit I used on my build, and no issues so far.

    Did not know about the more stable buffer tube with the holes in it. VERY interesting........
