I bought a 580 series stainless black stock Mini 5 years ago and recently purchased a sidefolder stock to replace the standard. It didn't take me long to see that was $110 wasted. The original stock has good ergonomics, balances the gun well, and is very comfortable to shoot. Add the side folder and things change. If folded and you need to grab the gun quick to shoot you are not ready. Shooting while folded it makes a terrible 28 inch unbalanced pistol. And you are only saving 8 inches of length when adding the folding stock. The original gun is plenty compact to carry in any truck, back seat, under the bed, or trunk. The only advantage I can see to a folding mini is maybe you could get it into a suitcase or long overnight bag. How do other shooters view this add on stock for the Mini?
