At the NRA Annual Meeting in Indianapolis, One-Shot Systems was offering pre-orders to the public for the new, improved version of their highly successful, non-attached pistol stabilization system. The product has been in use, particularly in the US military and with law enforcement agencies, for a decade. The improved design is now being offered to the general public. The early versions were built for the Special Forces community. The product has been continuously improved and is now in use at over a hundred agencies, including the Secret Service and U.S. Border Patrol.
The concept of a solid rest to stabilize a pistol, which is not attached to the pistol and, thus, not a firearms part, has been in the gun culture for a very long time. Using a walking stick to stabilize a pistol has been fairly common, even if the stability came from the ground and not the shooter’s shoulder. The idea of a stick, held by the shooter’s hand against the pistol grip, has been considered, on and off, for as long as pistols have existed. An intermediate form is the hip stick. While helpful, these systems do not approach the advantages that accrue while using the one-shot design.
A major advantage of the latest one-shot design is its simplicity. It is a simple, solid, tough piece of special reinforced composite material. No adjustment is necessary. When you grip the pistol and the one-shot, your grip holds them together in a unique way that prevents side-to-side wobble or up-and-down angular rotation between the pistol and the one-shot. The one-shot design only weighs seven ounces. It is eleven inches long. There is no attachment to the pistol. When the user stops gripping the pistol, the one-shot separates automatically. Therefore, it is easy to holster the pistol.

Prototype of one-shot system at the NRA Annual meeting in Indianapolis this year.
Production models will have slots for slings. The device weighs 7 ounces and is 11 inches in length.
It is never attached to the pistol.
I can’t tell. Is it a universal fit or do different pistols require a specific type for proper fit?
Made for semi-autos. Lots of pistols out there with Glockish type grips. I distinctly recall them saying it worked for 1911 type pistols.
Thanks Dean
I foresee able-bodied men having these slung on their shoulder in plain sight while the presence of a handgun is left up to the viewer.
Many hoplophobes will phone the police.
I would encourage the practice and support the rights of those acting in this manner.
It is a 1st, 4th, and 5th Amendment right to do so and would have nothing to do with the 2nd, other than being a stealth-support of 2A.
I might just buy one, tho I’ve never been inclined to carry a handgun.

By making a mockery of the “short barreled” rule it proves yet again that the gun control is largely about control and not about guns.
Not quite. It allows the shooter to use a larger caliber bullet and it allows up to 30 rounds to be fired with a single trigger pull. (/s)
Well if they are non attached, then they are allowed, because everyone knows that when you attach a brace, it increases the gun’s power and you can use larger ammunition in the gun lol (yep, apparently Biden said this lol)
Hold it a minute criminal - I need to attach my stabilizer.
The further the distance, the greater the time.
The one-shot makes hits at longer ranges much easier.
Not everything is at short range, nor is everything about immediate self-defense.
I can see one of these as part of a bush-plane kit. The one-shot gives the capability of a short rifle in a compact, lightweight package.
Should see stl files for 3D printing your own within days.
Thanks, can use this.

I believe that shotgun was used to hunt pterodactyl.
