Pistol braces (or stabilizing braces) are still a relatively new product, debuting in 2013. Consider it a testament to their utility and popularity.

Rifles, optics, plate carriers and more: we at Loadout Room test and review a wide variety of gear. Sometimes though, we like to sit back and watch shit blow up.

Seek nothing outside of yourself. — Miyamoto Musashi, “The Book of Five Rings” Getting “cool guy” gear and tricking out your firearm is awesome, I have several mods and bits of […]
I’ve been carrying a concealed pistol now for just about thirty years. I’ve gone through more than my share of different pistols and holsters during that time from a S. & W.
