Pistol brace uses Velcro to attach to the shooter’s forearm. It provides stability while firing the AR pistol. A 2014 letter by the ATF determined that adding a brace to an AR pistol would not move it into SBR territory. A braced AR pistol would still be considered a pistol. https://www.pewpewtactical.com/pistol-braces-and-the-atf/
