When shooting a large handgun, having some way to help stabilize it is a big help.
I have seen a couple different types of stabilizers as of late after the various ATF tech branch determinations that these are legal to be used on handguns and I wanted to try the Shockwave mainly to help support a Veteran based business.
Of the different types, this one seemed to more in tune with what I thought a stabilizer should be.
The "Blade" type design lends itself to always remain in compliance because from looking at it, would be far too uncomfortable to be used in a manner inconsistent with how these are designed.
After all, if one were to try to shoulder the handgun (which would be unlawful), I think the length of pull would be too short making the sights to line up right, recoil would likely make the charging handle hit you in the face, and the blade stabilizer itself would likely dig into your shoulder like a fat woman in high heels stepping on your feet during a slow dance.
Anyway, I just wanted to get some conversation started if anyone had any questions about the product.
Myself, I think it's good quality. If I had any small critique about it at all, it would be to add a little more length to the bottom of the brace to have more surface contact area with the inside of the shooters forearm. It also didn't come with any kind of strapping material, but I think I'll buy some Velcro tape the next time I go to the store and see how that works to keep the rear of the handgun as more solid extension of the arm.
Anyway, here are a few pictures of it installed on the 9mm handgun.
