    AR pistol braces that use a regular carbine buffer and spring?

    The brace itself and the tube it goes on are already going to be proprietary parts by necessity or default. I'd like to avoid any additional proprietary parts.

    It appears that the ...

    Uses standard buffers and springs

    and it also looks like the tailhook brace by gear head probably uses standard buffers and springs.

    Others?

    Thanks.

    Most pistol REs use the carbine buffer & spring. The exception is the VLTOR A5 Pistol RE. It uses the A5 buffer and rifle spring.

    Guess which one I'm recommending...

    Next pistol build I'm going the A5 route since all my rifles are using them already. Nice recoil impulse.
    OP I've been using a SB tactical SBPDW brace with a Geissele super 42.
    I liked the ability to collapse the brace

    Tagging for interest, I'm building one with a SBPDW brace and need a LPK/trigger assembly. Seeing how the Geissele stuff is running...

    So far so good. Its impulse is not as smooth as the A5 but it does seem to keep it shooting flat and fast. I can't tell if I have any bolt bounce. If that makes any sense.
    The spring is stout and doesn't make any noises in the tube. I haven't had the chance to really wring it out but it feels like an upgrade to the previous BCM carbine spring set up. No regrets so far.
