If you don't have one of these? Get one! It turns a Glock 17, into a Personal Defense Weapon. Greatest thing since sliced bread. For $100 plus shipping it's a unbelievable deal. There a couple of other outfits, that make similar kits. But they are way bulkier, and more expensive.
Couple years ago I built a 9 mm AR pistol. The sucker is 22 inches long and weights 6.5 lbs loaded. The Recover Stabilizer Kit weights 2 3/4 lbs loaded, and is 18 1/2"inches extended, 11 inches with "brace" folded. Needless to say, I'm going to get rid of the AR pistol.
I already mounted a green laser on mine. And have the tallest Ameriglo suppressor sights, coming from Lone Wolf. Didn't buy the belt holster. When i ordered the Stabilizer kit, but I'm going to.
My WAG is that the military and the badge boys, are going to jump on it big time. Seeing that it turns any plain vanilla G 17, into a very effective 100 yard PDW.

Attaching these things is relatively easy. In the case of the FAB Cobra stock, there is an adaptor which slides into the empty space at the bottom of the Glock grip. It has a spring loaded retention tab (top arrow) which is released by a level at the bottom of the stock (lower arrow)
Frankly, this contraption is awkward not especially stable. On the other hand, the FAB sales rep at the SHOT Show was a stunning Israeli girl, so a purchase was mandatory!
The Micro Roni is another matter. It encapsulates the entire pistol, and turns it into a complete weapons system.
After opening the trap door at the bottom of the stock unit, you can insert or remove the pistol in under five seconds by simply sliding it in or out.
The Micro Roni is a viable weapon, while the FAB Cobra- despite the lovely dark haired sales girl, is more of a novelty.
As always, my own opinions, and my own photos of my own guns.
While interesting, I still have (in a locked box in my vehicle) a Glock 22 in .40, paired up with a Kel-Tec Sub2K also in .40. Shares mags. 17 rounder for the Glock, stock 10 for the Sub2K. About 4 31 round SMG mags loaded and ready to go. Unfolding the SUB2K takes a few seconds at most. Increased barrel length aids in velocity/energy.
I'll stick to my handguns being handguns and my pistol caliber Carbines being just that.
It also folds into a very small package:
Acknowledged.
I still prefer the added barrel length/energy of my Carbines. My Sub2K folds down tiny. Makes a very compact Carbine with all the advantages inherent to that category.
My Kel-Tec PLR16 takes it up a notch. 30 rounds of 5.56, in a very small package. Small Tactical case, 5-6 mags, Meprolight M20P Holographic site, (no batteries) Tension it out with the Voodoo Tactical one point sling, shoots/aims like a SBR. 7.2" barrel. Forward hand guard, muzzle brake. Very potent, very small package.
The guy who designed it, is a pro. He has designed a minimalist, PDW/holster combo that really works. The only changes I would have made, would have been a recess in the front of the stock. For a internal protected laser. Laser's and red dot's, are inherently fragile. All you have to do, is to drop them once and they are history. Also larger/higher sights. As the stock Glock sights, are to hard to acquire with the brace deployed.
