Just curious how you all do it...

We be curmudgeons and geezers.

sm, your never to old. Come on over to the dark side. Somebody must make a tactical stock for your single shot.

Pistol grips are for pistols.

I have several choices, but notice how the shotguns are kept 90% of the time:
590:


500:


870:


The pistol grips are in the pouch under the AR style stocks The wood stock is just referance for were the stock on the shotgun goes.

Awe, come on guys...an 18" pump Mossberg with Pachmyar pistol grip set and a laser sight...it just don't get any more fun that that! Makin' great big holes right where you want 'em from the hip.

Effectiveness isn't changed... the round fired is still fired out of the same length barrel with the same choke.

Effectiveness = how well the tool gets the job done (assuming the user does his/her part). A pistol grip hinders that, because its not as fast to get on target, its not as accurate, and its not as fast with a followup shot. Sure, the shot load is the same, but it isn't worth jack nor squat if it isn't delivered quickly and accurately to the target.

So yeah, not nearly as effective.

Standard shoulder stock for me. Wood or synthetic, I don't really care, but I do know this: I can fire a standard pump -- accurately -- a heckuva lot faster than I can with a PGO. The speed of the first shot is somewhat faster than with a PGO, but the second is a lot faster, especially with full-power buckshot.

Personally, I'd listen hard to guys like Dave McCracken and sm. They've forgotten more about this stuff than I'll ever know. I do have one bone to pick with them, though: since I started reading this forum, my one 12ga pump has become four shotguns! And I'm shooting a lot more! And having fun! Geez!

Regards,
Dirty Bob

I have a Maverick 88 with an ar style stock, pg with collapsable stock. The safety is easily reached on this gun.

On my Mossberg 500 with the safety on top of the receiver it becomes impossible to deactivate it without releasing your grip. So on that one, I stuck with the standard stock.

I like em both equally. The ar-stock is a little more manuverable because I can adjust the length, but I'm a much better shot with the 500's standard stock. I'm completely out on pistol grip only though, only took a few rounds for me to realize that was NOT what I was looking for in a shotgun.

 

[C-grunt]

I dont like PGO on a shotty. But a stock/pistol grip is great, except on a Mossberg where the safety is on top.

 

[WhisperFan]

This is what the short Hogue stock looks like on my Mossberg ....

 

[jakemccoy]

That's a bad poll because a significant number of shotguns have both.
