At the Range: SIG Sauer SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace

Shooting an AR-15 pistol doesn't have to look and feel awkward. Originally developed for a disabled veteran, the new SIG Sauer SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace adds ergonomics to the AR-15 pistol platform.

The SB15 slides onto an existing AR-15 pistol buffer tube, and then straps to your forearm. People who otherwise couldn't use an AR-15 pistol, can now consider one for hunting and plinking.

Cleared for civilian sale by the ATF, the SB15 does not require any NFA paperwork to obtain or install. The Sig Sauer SB15 Pistol Stabilizing Brace comes to the market at $139. The editors at G&A went to the range with Jarrod McDevitt from SIG Sauer to test the new brace:
