Thoughts/input on AR pistol brace options

[Tusker6N]

I'm at the point in my build that I need to select a brace for my pistol. This is my first pistol build and I have no hands on experience with braces.

Specs so far:
8 1/2" barrel 300BLKOUT
Mystic-x suppressor
Adams Arms xlp piston kit w/ low mass bolt carrier
JP Customs carbon fiber handguard 15" (1 1/2" of suppressor will stick out)
Integrity Arms upper/lower
Velocity 2 1/2 lb trigger
Magpul grip
Vortex Venom 3moa

I would like to use a JP Customs Silent Capture Spring. I'm unsure what length buffer tube to buy, I'm assuming it would depend on the type of brace I get. The 3 I've seen are:

Sig brace (not getting it, don't like the Velcro idea)
KAK Shockwave
Tailhook

Am I'm missing any that I need to be looking at?

This pistol will always be supressed and used primarily for range fun, or home invasion, or alien invasion.

Price isn't an issue, however I may SBR it once all this ATF stuff settles down.

Pick one that's cheap. The ATF won't put you in jail for putting it up to your shoulder until your tax stamp comes back.

Then either put it on your next ar pistol or sell it here

SB Tactical made the original "Sig Brace". Their Gen2 Version that they have not licensed out to anyone is by far the most stock-like of any brace I've seen. It feels just like a stock on the shoulder.

I like my Shockwave Blade. That's really the only one I like. Had a Thordsen, Sig Brace, and several pistol tubes. The KAK is my favorite.

Good point and that thought has crossed my mind

if price isnt an issue the SB Tactical SBPDW is superior by far. i have the SB Tactical SOB on my AR 9MM 7.5" pistol and i love it but would have bought the SBPDW if my funds would have allowed it.

Thanks for the input everyone...decided on the Maxim for the JP spring option, collapsible design, and swap out to a stock with form 1 approval.

You made a good choice. I have the non-brace model on my SBR and crazy enough, I like the brace model BETTER because everything is identical except you have a nice rubber but stock instead of metal. Had they had the brace version, I would have never SBR'd.
