There seems to be three basic rifle stocks available: the traditional (does this have a special name?), thumbhole and pistol grip (I am ignoring folders for the sake of this post).
I have always felt that pistol grip stocks were more familiar and, frankly, look cooler. However, does anyone know if one is considered ergonomically superior to another, or is it just personal preference?
The reason I am asking is that I am considering a rifle that is only available as a traditional stock, so I am wondering if, in the long run, I will be satisfied with the feel or will I desire a pistol grip?
If it matters, I am looking into a Kel-Tec SU-16C model. Before you try to talk me into another rifle, my desire is for something that is relatively inexpensive, light, compact, will take inexpensive magazines in a relatively inexpensive caliber. The SU-16 is about $550, less than 5 lbs, folds down to 25.5" and uses AR magazines. Plus, it has a lifetime warranty from a company that is known for good customer satisfaction.
However, it doesn't have a pistol grip stock, hence my question.

Thanks.
