SUBGUN OVERVIEW

Sub-gun style pistols with a brace or stock.

These are typically manufactured as pistols, chambered in 9mm, .40 cal, 10mm, .45 cal, etc. and have a barrel length of LESS THAN 16".

These are acceptable for training, under the following conditions:

If you have a firearm manufactured as pistol with a stock on it, or a short barreled rifle (SBR), or any firearm with a suppressor, it must be registered with the ATF in order to use it during this course. Supporting documentation will be required prior to beginning training. No exceptions will be made.

Pistol Brace Update #1

As of November 8, 2023

The case of Britto v. ATF challenged the ATF’s “Factoring Criteria for Firearms with Attached ‘Stabilizing Braces'” rule. The ATF created the regulation (2021R-08F) after a presidential executive order directed them to deal with pistol braces. On Wednesday November 8, 2023, Texas-based Federal District Court judge Judge Kacsmaryk issued a nationwide stay preventing the ATF from enforcing its rule on pistols equipped with stabilizing devices (braces). The ATF is likely to appeal the decision.

For the time being, firearms with attached pistol braces are acceptable for use in our training courses, without proof of registration.

Note: A pistol brace is not a stock.
