One of our fine resellers, Kentucky Gun Company, is going to be displaying the Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer—in addition to lots of other cool stuff—at their booth at the NRA Show in Nashville. The show runs April 10-12, 2015. Be sure to stop by and check out the Blade in person. Patrick and his team will have units available for sale at the show—until they run out—and then will be taking orders for fulfillment after the show.

Thank you to everyone who is making the Blade 2015’s best seller,
Marty

Well, we did what “they” said couldn’t be done. (I’m suddenly reminded of a song from Smokey and the Bandit for some reason.) We designed a superior pistol stabilizer, got it ATF approved, and are now shipping. If you’ve been waiting, now is the time to add the patent-pending Blade pistol stabilizer to your cart and check out. Only $49.95.

Order here.

ATF opinion letter here.

Thank you to all of you who continue to believe in our small company,
Marty and Leelee

We just received in a new CZ Scorpion Evo 3 S1 pistol. Big thanks to Zach for hooking us up with one. 🙂 (I won’t post his last name. Zach, you know who you are. And you are the man. 🙂 )

Of course, being the manufacturers of the Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer, we had to throw one of our T1 samples on this cool “little” pistol right away.

It still amazes me how much the Blade stabilizes a big pistol like this or the AR, using the inside of your forearm—and I designed the thing! Maybe that’s why the haters poo-poo it. Of course, those types poo-poo everything. Haters gonna hate, I guess. (They really should try it before they spout off.) But I digress. The Blade really does work as intended! And it just looks so badass. More info on the products for AR-15 page.

Just a few weeks and these puppies will be available for sale. 🙂

Note that these are only samples for signing off on the mold. The production pieces will be much more cosmetically pleasing. 😉

We just received word today that, per the ATF, it is also perfectly legal to hold the Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer against your cheek when firing. Just make sure you maintain a ray of sunshine between the rear of the Blade and your shoulder. In other words, “don’t use it as a shoulder stock.”

Using the Blade for a cheek weld also gives you an incredible amount of additional stability. I wouldn’t have believed it if a customer of mine hadn’t tried it (with one of the latest prototypes we handed out during SHOT Show) and prompted me to give it a try. That third point of contact against your cheek really gives you a great amount of stability. (I guess three points really do determine a plane. Who knew that junior high school geometry would come in handy some day?) And the recoil of 5.56mm or .300 BLK or even 7.62mm x 39 is easily managed with just one or two hands. 🙂 And according to my contacts at FTISB, two hands on a pistol doesn’t “automagically” redesign the pistol into an AOW—regardless of what the “interwebs” say.

We start shipping here in a few weeks. $54.95 plus $4 shipping.

Salt Lake City, UT (January 21, 2015)—Shockwave Technologies has issued the following statement about the BATFE open letter on Sig braces.

The January 16, 2015 BATFE open letter, OPEN LETTER ON THE REDESIGN OF “STABILIZING BRACES,” is limited to the SB Tactical product line and does not affect Shockwave Technologies products.

As confirmed in a letter by BATFE’s Firearms Technology Industry Services Branch dated December 15, 2014, the Shockwave Technologies Blade pistol stabilizer is legal to purchase, legal to own, legal to install, and legal to use on a pistol. Shockwave Technologies believes that the Blade improves marksmanship by providing additional support of a pistol while a user still holds and operates it with one hand. The company offers the product as an add-on accessory.

“We obviously defend the classification of every one of our products. And customers, of course, have the right to use them legally,” stated Marty Ewer, owner of Shockwave Technologies.

Just a quick peek at one of the Blade pistol stabilizer samples we will be delivering to dealers at SHOT Show 2015.

See you at SHOT Show,

Marty

Just a quick note to let everyone know that Shockwave ZMAGs for the M-11/NINE and M11-A1 guns are in stock again. You can place an order here through the site, or you can call us at 801-815-5178 with your CC info.

Thank you,
Marty

P.S. We have switched to a black oxide finish for our ZMAGs. We feel this protects the magazines better and gives them a look that’s more homogeneous with the guns themselves.

I printed out the final version of the Blade pistol stabilizer. Thought some people might like to see what it looks like in the real world—even if it is 3D printed in white ABS.

Since we are going to SHOT Show 2015, I wanted to have some samples to show folks. So we are using this 3D print to create an RTV mold that we can then cast samples from in black polyurethane. (Look for me in my Shockwave Technologies hat and t-shirt.)

In this last photo, you can clearly see the ergonomic advantage the Blade pistol stabilizer has over competing products. As you know, when you hold a pistol, your arm comes into it at an angle—not straight on.

We had a rush on ZMAGs just before Christmas—and ran out sooner than expected. We already had a batch in production, but you know how things tend to grind to a halt during the holidays. As of today, they still need to have the surface finish applied. However, within two weeks, we will start shipping ZMAGs again. We are trying our very best to provide top-quality products and industry-leading service.

Thank you to all our valued customers,
Marty

Thank you to everyone who is signing up for the Blade pistol stabilizer. I wish I could write every single one of you a personalized thank you note. But the numbers are simply overwhelming. Please just know that my family and I thank you profusely and are honored to have the opportunity to earn your business.

We are working hard to bring you the Blade pistol stabilizer as quickly as possible. Early March looks to be when we will begin shipping.

Merry Christmas and God Bless,
Marty, Leelee, Nicholas, and Gwendolyn

Hello to the faithful. We just received our approval letter from ATF Tech Branch this afternoon. The patent-pending Shockwave Blade pistol stabilizer is a go for pistol use. Look for them to be available in March 2015.

If you would like to get on the notification list, please email us.

Thank you and Merry Christmas to all those who have believed in us all along,
Marty

P.S. Here are a couple of scans of the ATF approval letter. As noted, the Blade is neither designed nor intended to enable a user to fire a weapon from the shoulder.

Again, thank you to all the faithful. People who need more stabilization to safely, accurately shoot their pistols now have a better option.
