Magpul getting into the “brace” market

[Esq.]

Don’t see them getting much of SBs market share.
Not impressed.

I'll buy one tomorrow!

Have they stated pricing? I’ve always thought most braces are extremely expensive relative to the price of a decent stock. I would expect Magpul to undercut the competition.

A day late and a dollar short IMO.

It’s hard to beat the SBA3, and this doesn’t.

It's good to have Magpul enter the market and I predict they'll make money from this brace, but as a long time brace user I'm disappointed in the design.

$59.xx for either.

For me it’s either gen 1 shockwave or sba3.
I’m not opposed to something new,but I would have to handle it first.

The one that looks like a CTR has a nice profile look to it.

The fact they went the shockwave blade style is a total fail and won’t have me buying one. I own all three styles, the tail hook, the rubber sb braces and a shockwave. The shockwave is useless as a brace in that it does hold the arm and least comfortable if the back of it was to be supported against your body.

Oh well. I don’t need another brace anyway.

I am glad magpul is getting into it from a legal standpoint. To me that means their lawyers don’t see them going anywhere and by having more on the market I feel it makes it harder to roll back their legality.

As someone else pointed out, these will be perfect for AR pistol assemblers that want to put out a Magpul edition. For those that have been doing the brace thing for the last few years, I don't see them migrating to a higher priced blade.

First time looking at video; will try one out for $59 USD. Any higher no thanks

It'll probably be closer to $40 with coupons, etc. I'd happily pay $40 if I were building one and just wanted a simple brace. While I'm good on firearms, not everyone can spend as much. If we think about it fairly, it is almost ridiculous to pay $100 for a simple piece of rubber/plastic for a guy on a budget. If money is tight, they're better off putting that $60 into more mags. Win/win.
