Pistol grips - good or bad?

[Covey Ridge]

What does Covey know anyway. He is a Fudd, and I have Dementia.

Good news bud! Not only did we make Sheephunter's ignor list, he is ignoring us so much that he is including our names on his signature. That is some ignoring! eh?

Sorry I can't hear you. I am trying to ignore you. And it's not easy.

It also has an evident appeal to aspring tactical tonies, mall ninjas and other assorted know-nothings who invest hundreds of dollars into perfectly serviceable shotguns for the sole purpose of looking like wannabe badasses at the range. YMMV.

so in what category would you put this one in

I would call that a sluggie

Well, it is a 12 gauge, but I would call it a rifle.....rifey for you shottie types.

I would also call it about time that there was a cool gun designed for the hunter who uses sabot slugs

"One of the guys at our club brought out his "Tactical Shotgun" with a "pistol grip" to shoot Trap with. He put it away after 12 shots. Couldn't stand the recoil with target loads."

"Shotgun designers understand that their product will mostly be used to shoot flying targets."

i have never had these issues.... i shoot trap/skeet with a Valtro and find it swings VERY naturally for me, i also shoot grouse/duck and will more then likely bag a white tail with it in the fall time... its a good thing i know how to hold a shotgun as well because 3" slug's pack just a tiny bit more punch then #7-#8 shot and i shoot a fair ammount of both... infact i have a case of 300+ emptys at my feet rite now i shot haloween day with my "tactical" shotgun without so much as a bruise or even a sore spot. sounds like your friend should get lessons on "how to shoulder a firearm".

What's a Valtro?

LOL After he put down his "Tactical Shotgun", he picked up his BT-99 and proceded to break 25 in a row. But I guess that isn't fair. The BT-99 has a "pistol grip" stock too.

Perhaps you might have noted the previous paragraph in my earlier post. That's your answer.

The full stock with separate pistol grip that you posted is a recent development in shotgunning and has limited applications primarily where the shotgun is used more like a rifle such as deer or turkey hunting.

 

[Rod]

I can use either, but I prefer a pistol grip on a pump or a double with a single trigger. Double triggers, a semi-pistol grip allows my hand to slide back a tad to ease on the rear trigger. A large radius in the wrist area is also good with a full pistol grip on double triggers.

 

[FlyingHigh]

This kind of pistol grip? This is now what a pistol grip is called on a shotgun. http://

yeah, the aftermarket one on my shotgun is similar to that. the regular stock also has a types of pistol grip. it's a mossberg maverick 88. i was also referring to the half dozen or so other kinds of pistol grips mentioned in this thread. no pistol grip, me no buy.

yup and my roomie did the same thing with his Auto 5 after missing 6-10 with my valtro... sounds like someone was putting the blame on his gun instead of his skill level with said firearm.

Was just curious how this would be appealing to mall ninjas

Sounds more like the right tool for the job.

Clearly, because the Fudd's have a dead lock on all knowledge and understand that hundreds of dollars is wasted on tacticool gear, but to overpay from $1000 to $25,000 for gold inlays, elaborate scrolling, a second barrel, a second trigger, all while having a topless philipino model rub oil into the stock made from the heart of the bastogne walnut tree imported from Spain. These are purely functional changes and are fair in price. They have nothing to do with trying to appear like the pimp for a 1600's era French nobleman while at the range.

Gee Claybuster. With such infallible logic I agree with you wholeheartedly.

What do you have against "Filipino's"? Is nothing sacred?

 

[janesy]

How much does it cost to have a philipino model rub oil on your stock?? I have a decent idea how much a philipino single mother living in Concord would charge but I wouldn't mind my stock rubbed down from a model.

 

[drvrage]

I've heard of a place in Markham where a Philipino model will rub oil over your "X" for about $50. I assume for a stock, it will be more expensive.

cost depends on the size of your stock. Deformed/old stocks are a little more

 

[sgtdeath66]

in my opinion the pistol grip is the best for a tactical package. it allows you to manipulate the shotgun better with one hand, takes away some of the pain when shooting 3" slugs and i think it reduces the stress on the wrist since it allows your hand to be in a more "natural" position as opposed to conventional stocks that keep your wrist at an angle. i can carry my mossy all day long with no pain in the wrist

You, being "hung like a baby" will be free.
