DETAILS:

If you’ve ever tried running an AR pistol with one hand, you know it can get awkward fast. Control, stability, and comfort all take a hit. That’s where the Magpul BDA Pistol Brace really stands out—it gives you the kind of arm support and sling integration that makes one-handed use practical, not just passable.

Built for Support Without the Gimmicks

Instead of relying on gimmicky folding hinges or adjustment knobs, the BDA keeps things simple. It’s a fixed-position brace made from impact-resistant polymer and corrosion-proof hardware. That translates to a solid platform you don’t have to fiddle with—just install and go. Fewer moving parts mean less to worry about in terms of breakage or loose fits over time.

Adaptable Across Your Builds

Magpul designed this pistol brace to be compatible with multiple buffer tube formats. Whether you’re running a Mil-Spec carbine setup, an A5 buffer tube, or a plain cylindrical pistol tube, the BDA has you covered. It includes swappable clamps that fit 1.175″ to 1.25″ diameters, so you won’t be stuck hunting down proprietary hardware every time you start a new build.

Sling It Right, Shoot It Better

One of the key features is the integrated QD socket at the rear. Run a sling through it, apply tension, and it pulls the brace snug against your forearm. That tension, combined with the brace’s wide profile, gives you a stable platform that works especially well in one-handed or rapid-transition drills. It’s a small design choice that pays off big when it comes to staying on target.

Made in the USA, Made to Work

This isn’t about tactical flash—it’s about functionality. Made in the U.S. by Magpul, the BDA is ideal for shooters who want dependable control without clutter or adjustment failures. If you’re building out an AR pistol for serious use, this brace gives you a clean, streamlined solution that actually holds up.
