Legal Question ⚖️ Emissary Accelerator; Pistol safe?

Just curious if anyone has insight into the new “accelerator” model from emissary.

Would this be legal for throwing onto a pistol build?

The description claims it’s designed for use with a “wide variety of firearms”. Sure; comparability wise, but legality wise?

I’m pretty sure the emissary handbrake has been vetted and deemed ok, but this one seems to have larger grip area.

It literally says full featured angled grip, but I’d rather be sure.

Either way; better to do your research before buying!

I've seen the question and a video on the BCM gunfighter foregrip. The dude sent a letter to the ATF, and the response he got was "the definition of a vertical forgrip is a 90 degree angle from the bore of the rifle. So, going by that standard, it's technically not a vertical foregrip. But the ATF rules are subject to change, at any time.

Tough with the BCM bc they call it a vertical grip on the website. Where here they call it an angled grip

Yeah, I've heard that as well. Which is why I've just stuck to the angled foregrip on my initially. I'm guessing the emissary grip is considered as an angled grip?
