After searching here and a few other places I am still curious about having an pistol grip stock and being able to hit the safety. As it is right now, standard stock the safety is within a thumbs reach, put on a pistol grip and now it's suddenly a new thumb yoga move to hit it. I was able to find the SST-590 that actually relocates it to what appears to be a very manageable location, however is costs nearly as much as I paid for the gun.
1) Are there other modifications available that make the safety manageable with a pistol grip?
2) Is there any benefit of having the pistol grip?
Having grown up with a over/under and the only targets were usually of the feathered variety I have no experience with tacticool stuff on a shotgun. I was able to shoot an 870 and 500, both with pistol grip stocks. I really liked the way the 500 felt and it didn't bite me while loading That was my primary reason for getting the 590 (higher capacity as well). The 590 will be used for HD and blasting targets at the pit. Your answers are appreciated.
