Non-Attatchable Glock Stock

There has been a re-interest in adding a detachable rifle stock to handguns as an improvised carbine, ala the M96 Mauser or Browning HP. Several manufacturers (Fobus, Bubits, Glockstock, Shomer) are advertising similarly designed carbine stocks for Glock pistols, utilizing the space behind the magazine well as an attatchment point. Most require the user to register his pistol as a NFA Short Barreled Rifle, or swap their stock barrel with a rather clumsy, potentially problematic, (and often currently unavailable) 16" barrel.

Has anyone else seen the non-attatchable stock offered at http://www.gunsmith-shop.com/ ? It handily avoids the NFA requirements for use with a stock length barreled handgun by eliminating the attatchment mechanism altogether. The user's firing grip holds the pistol frame and stock together. Does anyone think this is more than just an excercise in clever interpretation of BATF SBR regulations?

The design seems too clunky for personal defense, and is probably illegal for hunting, but might be fun for plinking or accuracy testing.
 
They want $95 for this thing?
Hey, that's more than I paid for my Bubits stock. :barf:

You guys don't need non-attachable pistol shoulder stocks, you need better laws. ;)
 
Frankly I'd get one of these before I got the (IMO) goofy non-attachable stock

of course with an MSRP of about $350 (there are several on Gunbroker for less), it will cost you a little more, but will also be more useful.
 
If you need a rifle, why not use a rifle... I can see no need for a 4 to 6" barreled rifle...

what is the advantage? you make a pistol too long to conceal, and you still have a short sight radius and barrel...

what's the gain? what's the purpose?
 
I don't think they are intended to replace a rifle. I assume the purpose is to increase the stability of pistol with respect to the traditional one or two handed firing grip. I have little doubt that a stocked pistol would be more accurate in the hands of most users than just the pistol alone, even with its shorter sighting radius.

The Glock stocks currently on the market advertise their use as police weapons, intended to allow a Glock equipped officer to extend the effective accurate range of his pistol when the situation calls for it. Would a shotgun with slugs, pistol caliber carbine, or patrol rifle be more useful in those situations? Definitely, provided that you have them as options.

For the few full-auto pistols currently available, the stock would also aid accuracy and control during automatic fire.

For civilian use, other than the cool accessory factor, there is little practical gain. I just thought I'd bring this design to the community's attention, as I'm sure someone will want one. Or they may just enjoy seeing people exploit the loopholes in our poorly conceived laws.
