From what I've seen, that's only on the matter of a shotgun, and a very specific case at that. "Pistols" are still fine.

ATF did not "change their mind" on the Sig brace. I wish people would actually read the ruling instead of regurgitating misinformation and fear mongering from blogs/websites/youtube personalities.
Their ruling was accurate and inline with how shotgun are classified. The Sig brace is meant to be used on a pistol. There's no such thing as a shotgun pistol. Shotguns have to have barrels atleast 18" long. Removing a stock from a shotgun does not make it a pistol. The shotgun still has to have a 18" barrel with the stock removed or otherwise it becomes an SBS or AOW. The ruling does not apply or even relate to pistols at all.
Honestly, I think the manufacturer that thought sticking the pistol brace on a regulated AOW (short barreled shotgun) are idiots. You don't have to be a lawyer to know that it wasn't going to magically make an NFA item like an AOW into a non AOW based on how the brace was ruled.
What they did wouldn't even have worked on an AR or AK. This would be like taking a 20" AR rifle, cutting it down to 7" and removing the stock, which now makes it an illegal SBR because it was a rifle to begin with. Then slapping a sig brace and then saying, "Oh look, it's not an illegal SBR anymore because it has a Sig brace...."
The Sig brace currently works because they are being put on pistols, not rifles. Not rifles illegally converted into SBR's, but firearms that actually were built and started as pistols. Currently, the ATF has ruled that there is no "incorrect" way to shoot a pistol. Enforcing a "correct" way would be unenforceable. If the ATF wanted to put a stop to people using the Sig brace as stocks, they would have to rule that it's a stock, not a pistol brace. It wouldn't ban the Sig brace, but would make installing them on pistols instantly illegal SBR's.

There is such a thing as a shotgun pistol and I think legally you could put a sig brace on a super comanche without violating NFA rules.
I really want an IWI Galil Ace(7.62 X 39) pistol(yes, I know it's still vaporware) with a side folding brace.

This would eliminate about 80% of the coffee shop conversation.

Biggs, you can come check the granddaughters out if it is closer. I can ask the granddaughter if she wouldn't mind ! LOL!
As far as likes or dislikes, nothing to dislike at all in my book.
The sig brace is awesome. Just hope when(and it will happen) the ATF decides its not legal any longer that you don't have to register the things.
