Yes, you can modify a pistol brace if you so desire. However, it is important to keep in mind that doing so may void the warranty on the brace and could potentially render the firearm illegal to possess. As such, it is generally advisable to consult with a qualified gunsmith or firearms lawyer before making any modifications. With that said, here are a few things you may want to keep in mind if you do decide to modify your pistol brace:
- Be sure that any modifications you make do not increase the overall length of the firearm. This could be classified as “sawn-off” which is illegal in most jurisdictions.
- If you are going to modify the ergonomics of the brace (e.g. adding a cheek rest), be sure that you do not inadvertently create a shoulder stock. This would turn your pistol into an illegal short-barreled rifle.
- Avoid making any modifications that could make the brace less stable or secure when attached to the firearm. Doing so could result in injury if the brace were to come loose during firing.
Again, these are just a few things to keep in mind if you do decide to modify your pistol brace. As always, it is best to consult with a qualified gunsmith or firearms lawyer before making any modifications.
