ATF suspends proposed pistol brace guidance

7. I must have been thinking of another "pistol" type of thing

It occurred to me later that I might have been in error. I seem to recall reading in a gun magazine about an AR-15 pistol that had a tapered housing with a spherical end for the spring... or buffer tube, I guess it's called. I've never taken apart an AR-15 and don't really have an interest in getting one so I'm not well-versed on the technical details.

Ruger recently released a 9mm pistol that's designed from the start to have a brace attached to it, so it has a separate magazine well and a long barrel. I think I was thinking of that gun.

The article in the gun magazine evaluated the PC Charger with a particular brand of "arm brace". The way the writer discussed it, with a wink and a nod, it was pretty obvious it was going to be used as a buttstock. Something about "incidental" contact with the shoulder.
