When I bought the AR15 pistol and added the pistol brace in 2016, it was an ATF approved pistol.
Now, according to the ATF, as of this week I am the proud owner of an SBR (a Short Barreled Rifle)
which makes it the last gun I bought.
At the moment, it's more like owning something the ATF might rule to be an SBR. So far, they've only gone after the Honey Badger, not any of Q's other brace equipped AR platform pistols, not any brace equipped AR platform pistol offered by any other manufacturer. I strongly believe that, depending on how the election goes, this stupid decision will either be reversed and those responsible for it canned or, it will be the least of any gun owning American's worries.
As for yours, since you added the brace you could simply remove it till this nonsense gets sorted out. Unless the ATF has changed that rule too, neither a handgun with provision for mounting a shoulder stock or a shoulder stock for that handgun was considered an NFA item. They only became one if you attached the stock to the handgun.

Your assessment is pretty much dead on according to my sources Deacon. An upper echelon ATF staffer made the blanket decision allegedly to see what kind off opposition blowback came of it. Seems like it ruffled more feathers than they expected and the actual worker bees there are even calling hypocritical...plus a few congress critters are now involved. It's an election year (LOL...and 2020) so chaos will be the order of the day.

Might help to know what state you live in as well, some things are not legal in some of the "blue" states, some are just more hassle than others to purchase there.

I didn't actually buy it but a friend just sent me a LNIB Anschutz 22 rifle. Should be an excellent shooter

ATF quizzlers give Honey Badger pistol a reprieve for 60 days.
Length of pull exceeding 13.5 inches by a sixteenth of an inch may be the issue.

So, I was finally able to get some original stocks for my model 19-3 (1977) and, it feels very nice in hand now!
I mean, it was just fine with the rubber grips, but these original stocks are awesome!

On a side note, here in Texas some gun shows have been canceled due to Covid 19. But a couple of hours away is the Premier gun show in Mesquite this weekend which is in full swing. I considered taking one of my "insurance policies" to sell at the show, an AR-15 pistol. In the run up to the election, supply is down and demand is up and I figured I could make a few hundred bucks on it.
For three reasons, I decided not to go. First, how foolish would it be after months of living as a recluse to attend a superspreader event. Secondly, I have a new dog that gets carsick and I don't want to leave her behind that long. Finally, after the election it may be worth a lot more, a double or nothing proposition, and I could sell it online which would be easier on me and Ginger.
Stay well my friends.

I've been looking at a SS Ruger Single Six lately... it's been about 4 years since my last purchase; the 5" GP-100 gets fed regularly.
About the only thing I've done to it is switch out that front sight with a fiber optic which I can see much better.

That would be correct, I usually carry this during the Archery season here in Colorado, gotta hit those dusky grouse just right to avoid too much damage + it beats chasing an arrow down the mountain side if I blow right through them
(or pin them with an arrow in the tree)

Haha! No doubt man. No doubt.
My Diamond D holster just came in today for my 629 PC Competitor. I really like it. And, Diamond D is the only place I know of that actually makes a holster just for the Competitor (.44 Magnum)
