With ATF angling to crack down on pistol braces but the popularity of large format pistols still at an all-time high, it’s great to see an entirely new category of rear accessory that appears to provide so much utility to owners of large, accurate, highly-capable pistols. Since Black Collar’s APS doesn’t contact the shooter’s body but is, rather, designed as a rear support for resting the gun on a solid surface, ATF’s pistol brace restrictions that are focused on holding a braced pistol one-handed and at arm’s reach don’t appear relevant. The APS looks like a very useful accessory for benchrest pistol style shooting, for everything from bullseye to hunting applications.
Black Collar Arms’ press release follows:
