    This cheek pistol concept is a quite valid, in my estimation, especially with BATFEmen wanting to forbid extended pistol braces, but being left-eye-dominant, and with the ejection port of most weapons being on the right side, I believe that I would have to completely close my dominant left eye, to enable this to work when firing from my right cheek. Perhaps, the optic could be mounted, on an offset mount, to the left, to enable firing from the left cheek, with both eyes open, and the cases ejected at enough of a downward angle, to enable the ejected brass to clear? Yes, the substantial offset would need to be sorted-out, and I am not sure it would be workable. And, yes, an offset optic increases the bulk of the weapon, which means a wider amount of bag space, for toting the weapon. May not be worth the fuss, for this left-eyed guy.

    Kel-Tec? Hmm. I have seen some very interesting B&T pistols, at an LGS, that might be good cheek pistols. One of the Demonstrated Concept videos shows a B&T TP9 being used.

    I shot my first AR pistols this way for years with no issue - just a plain pistol RE with a foam cover and cheekweld. Later on I tried two of the saddle type RE covers, that worked even better (and I still have them somewhere in case I need to regress.)

    I dig it; also like the idea of the CP33 as a micro-PDW bee dispenser and have thought about getting one for the wife.

    Which Steyr?

    I have been using cheek weld for several years now. I showed my setup in post 318 in this thread

    https://pistol-forum.com/showthread....k-PDW-s/page32

    In the pictures there I had a brace on the gun but that is gone now. I push the buffer tube up and in - into the pocket under the cheek bone right against my upper molars. Chopping the grip off a bit helps this a lot. I have been running 300 BLK with a 7 inch barrel, all is good. Recently got a Geissele super duty 11.5 inch pistol, changed the brace and buffer tube to just a 5 inch tube and it runs great as well.

    What he talks about regarding the fixed relationship between eye and optic is very important. Put the optic on a tall mount, keep head erect and the gun pushed into the cheekbone and go to work. And without a brace you do not qualify for ATF worksheet 4999.

    Rhett uses the same cheek weld approach with the Shockwave birdshead grip on shotguns and makes it look easy. If I ever pick up a second 1301T I'll be doing some experiments.

    Some shoulder harness ideas that may conceal better than a strap going across the front of the chest:

    This is making me think that a stockless SIG Rattler could work quite well with those techniques.
