Does anyone know if it is legal to use an unattached "shooting brace" with a pistol under U.S. law?
I have in mind a simple wire stock, or a holster stock, in which there is no physical attachment between gun and stock, just a sort of hollow grip in which the pistol grip sits and you wrap your hands around the whole thing, with the stock grip sandwiched between your hand and the pistol. Something like this:
If you were to loosen your grip, the pistol would fall to the floor as it is just resting against the stock and not attached to anything. I can't believe that I am the first person to think of this, so it must be illegal, but I just thought I'd ask.
It seems to me that there would be definite tactical uses for such an accessory, and it would be very handy for, say, using a .22 pistol as a survival tool.
Thoughts?
