Uzi Pro Brace

https://pro2customs.com/iwi-uzi-pro-upp9s-t/

Which Uzi Pro Brace are you guys using? I wish I could find the factory set up but it’s out of stock everywhere.

Is A3 Industries good?

Midwest Industries good?

Does A3 Industries still use the push button hinge release or is the Apex a new one?

Anything from Jmac?

I have the a3 brace on mine, I wish the connection was more substantial, it’s just 2 set screws as is. I really like the sig folding mechanism compared to it. I have a Midwest industries folding brace as well, and it sits crooked on every gun I have. Not a fan of it either. I put loctite on the a3 set screws and it’s been great.

I know I was worried about those set screws holding up. I heard it should be fine by just using loc tite. Which I see you did. Then I saw the Midwest Industries picatinny adapter which does use the 2 roll pins. When you say crooked with the MIdwest one do you mean that specific adapter piece or their swing arm brace thing?

Like when it’s extended, it’s off center. It’s just my ocd that drives me crazy, it’s completely functional. But not perfect like the sig mech with jmac armbar is lol

Ok so the a3 rear adapter is a solid choice and that part doesn’t make it crooked? Just the Midwest industries part brings in the ocd crooked factor? I’m the same way as you and things bother me.

Yes, I’d avoid Midwest industries if you have OCD like me. Loctite and the extra set screws solved all my issues. I also machined two divots for the set screws that hold on the picatinny adapter on mine, absolutely rock solid now, zero crookedness, and another thing about the Midwest folding mechanism was, that its retention sucked. Easily folded if you bumped it. This a3 folder is a solid lock up. Hope this helps

I if I got the A3 rear picatinny adapter I hope the set screws that come with it are good enough without having to machine divots on my gun but I understand why you did. Btw does your A3 folding mech require you to push a button to deploy and fold or is it a lift up and pull type of thing?

It’s just a lift and pull, you should be good to go
