Abstract
Implementations of a stabilizing brace assembly for a firearm are provided. The stabilizing brace assembly is configured for use in attaching a forearm stabilizing brace to a pistol, thereby providing additional stability to a user aiming and firing the pistol. In some implementations, the stabilizing brace assembly is also configured to position an optical sight (e.g., a reflex type sight) so that it can be used to aim the pistol.
