This could be handy - an accessory that turns your pistol into a shoulder-fired CQB weapon. Command Arms Accessories is planning on selling a lightweight, polymer pistol stock system, designed by former Israeli Defense Force members.

The early prototype resembles the upper and lower receiver of a submachine gun. A semiautomatic pistol, represented by the blue Glock in the photo, locks into the bottom and forms the only firing part of the weapon. It will have a collapsible stock and rails for mounting optics and other accessories.

The idea is special operators can add more stability and accuracy to their side-arms in a CQB situation, Michael Grandy of CAA said. The final design should be ready in about six months and work with most major auto pistols. No price yet.

What was it my grandmother said? "If you can't say anything nice about something, make sure you say it to me."

Wow, that looks... interesting.

I think I would like a front sight and the rear ARMS mounted correctly. I wonder how you clear a type two or three with that ? I'm not big on charging knobs. Have to roll the gun to much to run it. Then again I'm not a CQB guy any more but I used to play one in a former life.

Until that day,
Darkop

Can this be the next thing on CAA's mind?

Because true dyed-in-the-wool killers would have asked what the red button was for first. :D

Yeah but Kelly actually does kind of remind me of Mangalores (the brute aliens)

Wouldn't this make the pistol an SBR and turn it into an all NFA rules apply situation?

Yup. Which is why it'll never sell over here in any numbers. Cops will use 'real' SBRs and citizens won't pony up 200.00 to 'SBR' a Glock.

Interesting....being that turning a pistol into a shoulder-fired weapon constitutes manufacturing a SBR and is illegal without the proper paperwork.

Also interesting to note...apparently CAA thinks front sights are useless.
