With the hinge and the bolt carrier extension(tail) you're adding 10.5 oz so it is a significant chunk of steel. Folder the LAW unit adds 0.75" to overall length as well.
Front end, you can look at Pantheon Arms Dolos or Cry Havoc QRB takedowns (latter USAF Tested & Approved as part of the GAU-5 seat-kit rifle), but backend LAW is about the only trustworthy option.
IIRC according to Clint at BRT, with a LAW sidefolder's carrier tail you want to go down one buffer weight to compensate for the extra carrier mass.

“Those who do not view armed self defense as a basic human right, ignore the mass graves of those who died on their knees at the hands of tyrants.”
Bear in mind I'm an armchair tinkerer, but 10.5" or less pistol I'd take the LAW sidefolder, anything longer I'd look to a Dolos or QRB. TBH, I'm actually toying with the idea of the new SBA3/A4-style braces combined with a Dolos or QRB to build an "AR Modular Weapon Kit" where one core receiver group can go from CQB pistol to DMR/SPR just by swapping front and backends within a minute or two... main stumbling block I see is figuring out how to interchange the different optics/sights and keep zero.
OTOH, this WOULD be a perfect application for an integrated light-laser-front sight idea I've been doodling... something like if you turned an Insight M6X upside down and put a sight post on top.

I've always held back with folding stocks on rifles. It seems to me that a folding stock's advantage is a non-combat advantage, and doesn't improve your lethality. That's just my hard-to-change outlook, and it's not worth anything.
I figure I'll find myself with one soon regardless.
Nobody ever got shot climbing over the wall into East Berlin.
Delivering the most precision possible, at the greatest distance possible, with the highest rate of fire possible.
Idk about the OP folder, but the law tactical is excellent. I have no problem with it. My problem is with the gun. I love my SBR AR, but other platforms do extra short/vehicle-bourn better. I’d spring for a Tommy built or SCAR. AR’s are awesome and customizable to hell and back, but certain things I’d like from the ground up.
The law tactical is well made though
I have the Law Tactical on my AR pistol. Been on there probably 2 or 3 years now. I'd like one for my SBR as well, but they're expensive, and the whole reason I even have the pistol is for travel. I don't take the SBR with me when I travel much thanks to having to ask permission.
Travel, by the way, is also why I have the folder... It allows the already small 10.3" pistol to become even smaller, and pack away neatly for travel into smaller bags that don't scream "gun" when I'm walking into the hotel. Small enough I could literally walk down the street with it in a small pack without separating the upper, and lower, mag still in the gun. I'd have to be really worried to go that far, but fact is I could go from crippled old boomer with a back pack, to combat vet armed with an AR in about 5 seconds...
It's that ability to store your AR in small places, then rapidly deploy it, that make the folding stock a valuable thing.

You know what I like best about most people?
Their dogs.
Yup. I was cracking wise with the girlfriend that between takedown kits on the front, and the LAW and a folding grip on the rear she could get most of a fullsize 5.56 AR's function in a package that'd fit in her purse or my briefcase... the latter being more forgiving on barrel length.
