We have completed a final almost final design for the Blade AR pistol stabilizer. We feel really good about this latest design. It’s a bit more modern and aggressive than the previous prototype we sent out to beta testers. Also, this latest design is rock-solid when mounted on a standard pistol buffer tube.
As for the Tech Branch opinion letter, we haven’t received it just yet. But expect it by the end of November. If you would like to be put on the list to be notified when we begin shipping production units, simply shoot us an email.
Thank you,
Marty

I’m already on the list, but please make sure I’m down for two!
Hi Harvey,
Just checked. Yes, got you down for two. 🙂 What do you think about the new design?
Thank you,
Marty
Looks great, but is there any chance of added padding in the back? I wouldn’t want to scratch the blade if I lay my pistol against the wall. For a thenaked pistol buffer tubes they sell rubber end caps. I think it’ll be a great idea to have a rubber endplate to protect the stabilizer.
Marty, new design looks SWEEET!!!!
Hi Harvey,
Thank you for the kind words. I have been working on the design daily for a couple of weeks now. I think it’s really come a long ways. Now if we can only get Tech Branch to respond with their opinion letter, we can start production.
Thank you again,
Marty
I like the new design. Same quesion as before what is the oal?
Hi Phil,
Thank you for the kind words. The OAL is currently 6.25″.
Thank you again,
Marty
Since I haven’t heard anything for awhile I guess I didn’t make the cut for the beta test for the stabilizer. That’s not a problem. It looks like the project is moving forward. Please put me on the “to notify” list. I’m looking forward to putting it to work beside the Raptor equipped 12ga.
Thanks
Gary
Hi Gary,
My apologies on the beta test. The product has evolved so much since then though. That I don’t think you missed out too badly.
Please send us an email at shockwavetechnologies@gmail.com, so we can put you on the to-notify list.
Thank you,
Marty
Put me down for one. Is there a preorder? I am willing to pay now. I have also been spreading the word, everyone I show this proudut to is extreamly excited.
Hi Pat,
Thank you. I appreciate all your sales efforts. 🙂 We have a list we can put you on. Just send us an email at shockwavetechnologies@gmail.com
Thank you again,
Marty
Is there any chance of a clarification letter regarding this as part of a non NFA 26.5″ pistol grip firearm that fires shot shells?
Hello Heath,
Thank you for writing. There’s really no need for an additional opinion letter. Not once Tech Branch opines that the Blade-AR isn’t designed or intended to be fired from the shoulder.
Thank you again,
Marty
Any word yet?
Hi Harvey,
Thank you for your interest in the Blade-AR and for writing. We are still waiting for the opinion letter from Tech Branch. We were notified on October 15th that we should have the letter by the end of November.
Thank you again,
Marty
thanks for the update. Starting a new project for one of these!
How dose it secure itself to the buffertube? is it a slip fit like the sb15?
Hello Pat,
Thank you for writing. The Blade-AR slips over the standard pistol buffer tube and is held in place with a large set screw–much like the set screws that hold your garage door spring in place on the winding rod.
Thank you again,
Marty
depending on the sales of these, have you considered styles for any other pistol platforms, such as AKs?
Hello Jake,
We will be introducing an entire line of pistol stabilizers once we have the Tech Branch opinion letter in hand.
Thank you,
Marty
Is this a pistol brace?
Hello Jay,
Thank you for writing. This is a pistol stabilizer.
Thank you again,
Marty
Can you please somehow show us how flexible the blade is?
Thank you
I’ll see what we can do. Look for a YouTube video coming up.
Marty
