SB Tactical revolutionized the pistol market with the company's pistol-stabilizing brace, which provides pistol owners with a fast and easy way to add a third point of stabilization to their guns. Designed to aid disabled shooters, the first pistol-stabilizing braces were intended for use on AR-style pistols or other guns that accepted a pistol buffer tube. SB Tactical has since rolled out stabilizing braces for a number of pistols, including AK-style firearms, the CZ Scorpion Evo and many other firearms.

The company continues that legacy of innovation and expertise with the rollout of its new brace for the popular Heckler & Koch pistols: the HKPDW Pistol Stabilizing Brace.

The HKPDW Pistol Stabilizing Brace is three-position adjustable and is compatible with the MP5 and MP5K Reverse Stretch clones. Built from a 6061 hard-coat anodized aluminum housing with steel rods, adjustable nylon strap and an integral QD sling socket, the HKPDW gives the end user all the advantages of a pistol along with improved control by adding a third point of contact for stabilization.
