Once the brace is deployed I can manipulate the Glock and press the magazine release with my firing hand thumb. The forearm hook-like protrusion of the brace presses up against my wrist when the brace is collapsed, preventing me from rotating the grip in my hand. If the brace is closed I cannot even break my fire control grip to hit the magazine release. The part of the brace that attaches to the rear of the GLOCK grip is a bit thick and pushes my hand a little bit further back making it impossible for my thumb to press the magazine release. The blue spring is what pops the brace out when you deploy it. So I have to push it down while I close the brace. The latch does not close properly due to the ambidextrous slide stop. The same applies when I collapse the brace. This imparts quite a bit of friction that the release/catch does not really catch the brace bars and I have to manually force them down to lock the brace bars in place. Another slight issue is that the release/catch lever pushes up against the ambidextrous slide release of the Glock 19X. I cannot get my trigger finger up high otherwise it hits the underside of the FLUX brace body. This is to house the sliding bars as well as the release/catch mechanism for the bars. The body of the brace mount is rather proud on the right-hand side of the gun. Once installed I immediately discovered some drawbacks to the FLUX brace design. You remove the rear trigger housing pin and replace it with the one FLUX provides for you. You attach the FLUX brace like you add a beavertail grip extension. Installation is relatively straight forward. I acquired a tan FLUX brace and decided to add it to my Glock 19X. FLUX Defense thought this level of stabilization was missing from one of the most popular handguns on the planet, the venerable Glock. Most pistol braces are designed for large frame handguns like an AR-15 style pistol where it is very challenging to hold one one-handed and fire it while maintaining control and practicing safe gun handling. A whole host of firearms have been made or imported solely because the stabilizing brace has made them practical and not just a novelty. Stabilizing braces on handguns have lit a fire in the firearm industry.
