## Abstract

A brace assembly includes a firearm attachment member to which a pivot arm is pivotally attached at a pivot. The pivot arm includes a brace member at an end opposite to the pivot and a manipulation member that extends from a main body of the pivot arm in a direction opposite to the brace member.

## Claims

### Claim 1

A brace assembly comprising:
a firearm attachment member to which a pivot arm is pivotally attached at a pivot, said pivot arm comprising a brace member at an end opposite to said pivot and a manipulation member that extends from a main body of said pivot arm in a direction opposite to said brace member, wherein said firearm attachment member has a length along its longest dimension corresponding to a longitudinal firing axis of a firearm, said length extending from a forward flange, which points to a firing direction, rearwards to a rear pivot member of said pivot, and said pivot arm being pivotable in azimuth about said pivot to be adjacent said forward flange or pivoted in azimuth to be rearward of said rear pivot member; and
wherein said pivot arm comprises a gun sight that extends generally perpendicular from the main body of said pivot arm near said pivot.

### Claim 2 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, wherein said manipulation member is located at the end of said pivot arm opposite to said pivot.

### Claim 3 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, wherein said manipulation member extends generally perpendicular from the main body of said pivot arm.

### Claim 4

A brace assembly comprising:
a firearm attachment member to which a pivot arm is pivotally attached at a pivot, said pivot arm comprising a brace member at an end opposite to said pivot and a manipulation member that extends from a main body of said pivot arm in a direction opposite to said brace member, wherein said firearm attachment member has a length along its longest dimension corresponding to a longitudinal firing axis of a firearm, said length extending from a forward flange, which points to a firing direction, rearwards to a rear pivot member of said pivot, and said pivot arm being pivotable in azimuth about said pivot to be adjacent said forward flange or pivoted in azimuth to be rearward of said rear pivot member; and
wherein said manipulation member is laterally offset from said longitudinal firing axis.

### Claim 5 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, wherein said firearm attachment member comprises left and right halves fastened to each other with fasteners.

### Claim 6 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, wherein said brace member comprises a stabilizer that extends generally perpendicular from the main body of said pivot arm and an extension that extends generally perpendicular from said stabilizer.

### Claim 7 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, wherein said pivot arm comprises a catch biased by a biasing member, said catch being engageable with a portion of said firearm attachment member.

### Claim 8 (depends on 1)

The brace assembly according to claim 1, further comprising a holster assembly that comprises a garment mounting provision to which is coupled a holster clip, and wherein a portion of said firearm attachment member is configured to be held in said holster clip.

### Claim 9 (depends on 4)

The brace assembly according to claim 4, wherein said pivot arm comprises a gun sight that extends generally perpendicular from the main body of said pivot arm near said pivot.
