Gear Head Works Tailhook MOD 2 Pistol Brace Review
About Gear Head Works Tailhook MOD 2 Pistol Brace
The Gear Head Works Tailhook Mod 2 is a new and improved AR-15 pistol brace that allows you to have an AR-15 pistol with a barrel shorter than 16 inches. It is designed to be used with one hand with the brace hooked around your forearm for stability. What makes this version unique is the new telescoping latch that gives you 5 positions of adjustment for a total length of pull of 12.75”. This stabilizing brace is injection molded out of reinforced polymer and is strong enough to stand up against impacts. Because it completely covers the receiver extension, it also allows for a comfortable cheek weld for when you want to take more accurate shots. The Tailhook Mod 2 comes with the proprietary receiver extension, castle nut, back plate, and is compatible with carbine length buffers and springs. This pistol arm brace can be installed on any pistol that can accept an AR-15 receiver extension. The Tailhook Mod 2 is a great option if you are looking for a better way to accurately shoot your favorite large handgun. Features: Black reinforced polymer 5-position telescoping function Uses a proprietary receiver extension Sling loop attachment point Compatible with Carbine spring and buffer Includes receiver extension, castle nut, and back plate The fold out arm on the Tailhook Mod 2 acts as a counterbalance to the muzzle end of the pistol. Because of the new telescoping feature, you can adjust it until it balances perfectly which makes shooting for long periods of time much easier. The included sling loop attachment point can be used for additional stability when shooting. Gear Head Works started as a hobby and quickly turned into a company that manufactures innovative aftermarket parts for bullpups, AR-15s, and many other rifles. From charging handles to their popular Tailhook pistol brace, Gear Head Works is dedicated to bringing high quality components to the firearms market.

I have used these on a couple builds and I love the Mod 2 with the adjustability - makes for a fine platform for a pistol build - only negative is the proprietary buffer tube. Otherwise 5 stars.

I bought this, on sale. Saved a bit of money, and I like it. It’s sturdy. It matches the rest of the fde build pretty well. The brace is attached to an aero lower, with a rave 135 flat blade trigger, an Oddin works ambi safety, an aero upper receiver, and an 11.5 inch Wilson Combat barrel with their Q comp, and lastly it has the stern defense magazine conversion adaptor. The only… read more complaint that I do have is that the brace has a bit of a wobble, you can see what I'm talking about in the video below. Nothing I can’t live with, however if you do end up paying full price you shouldn’t have to deal with it, like I mentioned above I got it at a good discounted price so I can definitely live with the wobble.

Button for position adjustment not smooth/sticks sometimes, stock has lots of wobble on buffer tube, even with a strip of electrical tape. Feels very cheap.

Very nicely built and works great. For the price it should come with the buffer and buffer spring. Also I ordered FDE and it was more gray than tan.
Perfect.

I put them both onto my FDE Mossberg Shockwave The Hogue grip is super comfortable for my large hands The hook brace is awesome with multiple positions to lock it in Clicks right onto my wrist to shoot like a pistol and tucks up nicely when stretched out They both look amazing and functional I would get these braces now before they get banned for some stupid reason
Amazing product!

The gearheadworks tailhook series are the pistol braces that actually brace the forearm properly without a strap. Also the mod-2 comes with a custom buffer tube. Great product.

Great product! Fits great, with very little wobble in the stock. Very lite weight and seems like it will be comfortable to shoot with. Have to finish the build and find out. And the FDE color matches my other FDE accessories.

I have used multiple different manufacturers pistol braces and the Gear Head Works Tailhook Mod 2 is absolutely the best pistol brace on the market. It is the only brace that takes the weight of the gun and supports under the arm, instead of on top of the arm, like most braces, so that you may comfortably shoot one handed.

Great product! I like that these braces are solid all around and are yet adjustable. Other braces are made with rubber while this is polymer throughout. They look fantastic and the buffer tube is solid as well.

SBT may have more models but they don't have the best one. Gearhead's Tailhook is by far the best model. No lame Velcro straps to fiddle with and no bendy rubber parts. Also this model has an actual ATF approval letter unlike most of SBT's models which cost more. Superior design, approval letter, and costs less, so why would you get an SBT?

If you are looking for a pistol brace that you can actually use as a brace (or however you decide to use it) this is by far the most functional and comfortable.

Quality good. Plastic seems durable. Wish it didnt go on a proprietary buffer tube, i usually use BCM because they are 7075 and teflon coated. Idk what this is made of and its not coated. I am sure it will hold up though, best looking buffer tube brace out there imo. End plate wasnt sitting flat so i replaced that. Only issue i had.

Best Brace on the Market

In my opinion, this is the best brace on the market today. If you want to use it as a brace, it works very well, but if you want to shoulder it, it has a better cheek weld than many collapsible stocks, comparable to a sopmod stock. I use it on all of my pistol builds now. Far superior to the braces with the velcro strap.
Looks Good

I’ve had them all. SBA3 was previously my favorite, but this has changed my mind. Not as flimsy as the SBA3, and much more aesthetically pleasing.

Normally I would pick the SBA3 brace but I really prefer the ridge duty of the Tailhook better. Plus it just looks good.
