Recover Tactical Brace Rig Review (& Pistol Can Experience)
Took my new rig out to try:
S&W M&P9 Pro
Osprey9 (which is the qualifier for this slice of the arsenal & a point of this post)
Recover Tactical 20/22 Brace w/ Angled Mag Pouch (not a handgrip...)
Holosoun 507
Olight Valkyrie
Overall, I really liked the RT brace. As expected the ease of shooting was significantly improved (besides looking cool). I was thinking this might be my new house gun since my wife is now onboard with shooting and wanted access to the defensive guns. She's very petite and a 4lb 26" "rifle" looked to be the ticket. Unfortuantely, she was really uncomfortable with the flex in the brace against her cheek. Might grow on her with practice. Regardless, the point for this board that was interesting was the amount of gas to my face was unbearable. Something I never notices shooting as a regular pistol. I have to try it with my Rugged Obsidian to see if that improves, as I've never noticed gassing with it on my PCC's. Anyone have any similar experience shooting a pistol can? Most of the discussion on blowback that I've paid attention to is with rifle cans.
The other downer was that they sent the wrong size Angled Mag Holder (Glock 45/10mm; just stuck a mag in the pic for the visual). That I really liked and may get one for my Sub2K.
