For the love of god, please stop shouldering pistols. Stop adding fuel to the fire!
So the SIG brace for same price is better I guess.. damn
Imagine that …an item not meant to be shouldered fucks off when you shoulder it🙄
The latch hardware is hot garbage compared to the sig side folder brace.
"They were way nicer to me than my liberal arts degree gives them any right to be."
I loled, darn near snorted my ice cream out my nose.
I gather it only happens with the 9mm? and not the 22LR Charger because I just ordered one and actually got the 1913 SB brace a year ago fearing new ATF legislation so at least I’d have a Grandfather clause argument.
So best solution is to not get any sb tactical brace and go with the SIG brace.
All out of stock right now, must be getting parts from China?
Hop… you’re still using the wrong parts. The Sig X Folding Knuckle with an SB Tactical Pistol Length Tube and SB Tactical SMB4 Brace. The length of pull is right at 13" (which makes this a legal set up). The fold holds nicely but isn’t super flush. Still, works way better.
Great review. Looking for a folding brace now for my zap. Any recommendations?
Just flip the brace to the other side
I have the FS1913 version and it is indeed fixed. This brace is solid and feels good when in my pocket near my neck
Anyone tried the Thordsen Buffer tube adapter? Do you think having a buffer tube and brace would work better than the 1913 folding brace? Currently about to order one or the other for my Charger.
Does the brace make the pistol a short barreled rifle and thus illegal?
Vroom vroom vvrroooooooommm vrrvrrvrvvooooorrooooom
Thanks I was going to buy one of those
hey bozo, how do you spell picture?
Thanks for making positive changes in the universe, man!!
So do I know if when ordering one, I’m ordering the upgraded one that has the folding issues fixed?
I wish I had seen this video before I bought My Charger.
I am in the market for the PC Charger so I really appreciate this video and the work you put into it AND your follow up with SB Tactical!
This is so weird, I was watching your Marathon videos just yesterday
It looks like ur trying to bend it
This brace are you able to fold it to the right side of the gun? Im looking to get a PC Charger and put the bolt handle on the left side, which I think for me would work better and avoid cluttering that side.
Change the folding stock to fold to the right side and it will work
I was just about to buy one but wanted an honest review first. Thanks I don’t think I’ll be buying this one for my pc charger
They really need to make it a more substantial lock up. The lock up teeth and travel are so small that its not surprising that it folds on recoil.
Tim (MAC) didn’t have any issues with his, so they must have got it right. We know Tim would have hammered it if it did fail.
Get the Thordsen Picatinny tube adapter and get the SB Tactical SBA3 brace. That’s what I did for my daughter’s PC Charger
We had a problem with a stiff brace spring, sent the brace back, and promptly got a new brace which works fine!
SB Tactical’s customer service shines!
I ran into this issue over a year ago on both the PSA AK-V and the CZ Scorpion and came to the same conclusion with two different braces using the same latch design. I’ve used several other stocks and braces with a similar design but the latch on those is better engineered in my opinion.
Everyone: Email Franklin Armory. Ask for a binary trigger for the Ruger PC Charger to be developed.
So don’t buy this till there is a 2.0 version. I need answers!🤔😤
Folding strut 1913
But if this was on a dedicated 22lr AR upper, would either have the issue?
SB tactical is such a good company.
With all the cost involved, i’d be easier to just SBR it. I’m probably gonna do that for my B&T because I don’t have faith in the latch
😂😂😂 I drawed you this diagram
Question to those who know,
How does this fare on CZ Bren 2Ms 8" Pistol?
Thanks.
I mean I understand not wanting the brace collapsing under recoil that’s definitely a major issue.. but like most people.. not using a brace as intended.. braces are never meant to be shouldered they are meant to be cheek rested.
Will this brace work with the charging handle on the left side?
Where is the SIG Sauer PCB brace made? It’s important because of the ATF ruling as it pertains to 922r compliance.
Sig makes the same one and it’s very difficult to fold. Go figure
Seems like the teeth barely bite each other, send like a little filing to let it seat further would completely resolve the issue since it barely closes as is
Seems as a lefty, I wont have this problem, since my cheek would be pushing against the other side of the brace, helping keep it locked.
I just ordered a FS1913 brace with the aluminum strut for my 22lr charger. Do you think it will fold as well ?
Do the new braces have a better or more complete locking system ?
I mean, the thing is you’re using a brace as not a brace, so I’m not too surprised that it’s doing that given the design.
Change your charging handle to the other side🤔
So where can I get me one of the newer version of this brace
I have the aluminum one and it has not collasped.
