Flux Defense Braces

Brent · Apr 23, 2020

I did a search and there are no posts on this topic at all? How!

So i suppose the question is this -
Does anyone have hands on experience with one of these products?

For the Sig line of 320's / M17, the PDW Kit looks awesome, but us poors with Glocks don't have that option. Thinking of a close in, maneuverable option for the bride built on a foundation she is extremely capable with; the Glock 19. Sure, there are AR-9's and the entire world of the PCC, but this seems to be an interesting avenue to explore, as long as it produces results. Toss on a lo-pro optic and the front mag slot / AFG and this is a tight little package.

Not too keen on the entire chassis set-ups such as the Roni and KPOS so much. Heard tell of excess fouling as a result of the muzzle being recessed, along with various reports of unreliability.

Anyway : Debate, y'all!

There's also the Endo. Use it with a Shockwave blade for a compact package.

True. I do like the idea of the Flux collapsing if required for stowing places.

They show a Glock brace coming soon? 8-10 weeks. Not sure I'd want to shoot it collapsed.

I ordered a Flux MP17 brace on Thanksgiving Day and it will be arriving tomorrow. Only five months for delivery! (sarcasm) I should have dropped a form 4 at the same time and I'd be almost ready to pick it up. Flux Defense has been making Glock braces for a while now but they are a small company and I think they got overwhelmed with demand for the MP17. They were really good about getting back to me when I asked for updates though. They had a design SNAFU since they released the first MP17s just before Sig released the Legion and X5 P320s so Flux had to do a minor redesign since the fire control groups are just slightly different and the first braces wouldn't fit the new FCGs. I plan to build mine tomorrow but I have no idea when I'll be able to test fire it. I have a Vortex Venom sight and a Streamlight TLR-1HL for it. I will be mounting my P320 TACOPS Carry model in the brace. I'm setting it up as a PDW for the house. I'm going to be buying a suppressor for it soon. Hopefully. I'll try to post pics when I get it built but range reports will have to wait until I can get to an open one.

Awesome!! I hope that your wait was worth it, brother! Please keep the forum updated with porn and review!

I got it put together this afternoon. It was a really easy process. Now I just need to get to the range and sight it in.

So I finally got some range time with the MP17 brace this past weekend. It functioned flawlessly, which I expected, but I did have a couple things to address. I ended up putting a compensator on the barrel from Springer Precision. This was recommended by Flux and the comp itself is well made. For the most part. The comp comes with a tube of red Loc-tite. I can't get it to index on the barrel properly. When fully tightened it is almost 180 degrees upside down. I backed it off to proper alignment and used the Loc-tite but as soon as the barrel got hot the comp came loose. I was constantly having to check it. Not sure if that can be fixed or if it's even worth it. Sighting was a little problematic. The Vortex Venom is a good sight but since it sits so high above the bore I ran out of elevation adjustment. I got the windage right on but I sighted it at 10 yards and I have to aim 6-7 inches high to hit where I want. This is my first time trying a setup like this and I'll have to play around with it some. I can still use the iron sights on the pistol though. The brace itself is comfortable to use and allows for rapid double taps and longer strings of fire accurately. I ran 150 rounds through the gun. 100 rounds of 124 grain ball and 50 of 115 grain. Overall, I'm not disappointed but just having some growing pains with a new setup.

What it's length for the form 4?

I wouldn't know since I got rid of it when they started this brace ban nonsense. Now I just have a plain old P320.
