KAK Industries Pistol Brace

[BGREID]

Have you used one and how do you like it?

I've got one sitting on my desk, waiting for my upper/lower to come in. I hope they are good to go! I like the look way better than the sig brace.

Aesthetically, and in my opinion, I think the KAK blade is the best looking AR pistol "brace" on the market. I think the SIG brace is the worst looking. The Thorsden with the CAA kit on it is in between for me, looks wise, like a chopped SOPMOD. I've had a blade and, of course, it works fine. Whatever everybody does with these, they do, I don't care. If you're using these as a forearm brace, the SIG is probably the best for that, but I don't shoot AR pistol that way. If you're using these as a cheek weld brace, as I do, I find the Thordsen with CAA kit to be much more comfortable for that than the blade.

I like the way the blade looks better, so I switched from the Thordsen to the blade. After using the blade, and there's nothing wrong with it, I switched back to the Thordsen for its greater comfort in the cheek weld.

Ever since I got two lowers stamped as SBRs, I only keep my AR pistol for travel considerations in the event that I don't have time to get a .20 approved and back from the ATF in time. But that pistol wears the Thordsen kit.

I have tried the Sig and KAK brace, as well as the Thorsden, and I personally prefer the latter. I currently have a KAK, and I prefer it to the sig brace simply because it is smaller and works better with the LAW folder I have. I am submitting the paperwork for the lower, and am mostly using the brace as a stand in while I work up loads and check for function before sending off for the stamp.

If you were going to use one long-term (ie. not planning on making an SBR), the Thorsden would be my favorite. The cheek rest is superior, and in the way I used it it worked the best for recoil control and stability.

I have tried all three and prefer the KAK.
Prime motivators are the aesthetics, solid nature of the KAK over the SIG and the KAK being more skinny than the portly SIG with a folder (as noted previously). My Thorsden never felt complete but YMMMV.

I'm starting a pistol build which I will SBR in the near future. I've been looking at the KAK Shockwave and it looks better than any of the other options IMO but the one thing I'm worried about is quality. Google found a video where a youtuber points out some machining issues. Anyone else experience this?

Nice! What are the details on your pistols?

[montesf1030]

One is an AR 9 that takes Glock mags and the other one is a 223/556 build ... I use New Frontier Armory complete lower for both ... I change the buffer for the AR 9 for a heavy buffer and put a Lantac Dragon muzzle brake
