pistol grip on shotgun

lol, yeah. well put DPris.. It's about the fun factor. I plan on never having to shoot a person. I never got into hunting. I shoot for fun. It's relaxing to me. When my old gateway computer died, I hit it every time with the double PG, and I loved every second of it. I haven't ever competed shooting.... for real anyways. So, we can at least give it a positive for adding fun to plinking, yes? In compition against a normally stocked shotgun, the PG will fail every time. that's fine and makes sense. For hunting, not the greatest idea, unless u wanna add some difficulty, or maybe the anti hunters would like that to give the duck more of a chance:).

My problem with all this is that I read posts that people imply that u are stupid for doing it cause it makes the gun totally inaccurate. That is the untrue part... not as accurate as a stocked gun under rapid fire and/or long ranges, but at close range, less than 50 feet... depending on skill, is an easily hit target. Thus, people wanting it in self defense close range is in the green area. As far as holding a shotgun in confined spaces...

Shooting around a tree when I'm hidden behind it is a lot easier when I have one hand on each pistol grip and swing it around.. kinda sorta.. My Shot gun etiquit? isn't the greatest when I'm up on a friends land.

My final point would be something along the lines of..... If you aren't worried about proper gun etiquat?.. in time of disaster, the PG'd is more nimble and manuverable than a stocked shotgun. Not totally unsafely out of control shooting, I mean cutting angles of muzzle to body and shooting with the gun pushed back so the end of the 18 1/2 barrel is maybe only a couple inches advanced forward from body. As long as the gun doesn't blow up and u stay clear of the powder flying out, the bullet isn't gonna hit you. That would be where the tactical advantage comes in..... A person trained in this field is most likely trained properly and safely to not be stupid enough to shoot like that...

rant complete, for now.


PS, sorry the thread got hijacked
 
PG useful for certain situations

Bros,

I own 2 Shot guns. An M1 Benneli 12ga w/a stock & PG. And a Winchester speedpump 20ga w/only PG.

I am a paraplegic. So the Speedpump is very useful for carry in my manual wheelchair. W/an 18inch barrel and only a PG its less than 30 inches overall. So it does not interfere w/my chairs tires as I push. I just lay it across my lap. Or I use a carry sling I fashioned myself.

Obviously, any weapon w/a stock, PG or not, will be more accurate at any real distance. Beyond 7 yards in my mind. Honestly, I'd be alot closer.

I have trained hard to control my weapon. I feel confident I can place my 7rounds where I want comfortably. Every weapon should serve a distinct purpose. This is especially true when YOU are disabled. I only own weapons that I can control, clean, use and rely on w/confidence. My Glock 9mm and my speed pump 20ga are all I need to defend the inside of my castle!

I have a Mossberg 12 gauge with a pg at my bedside. It is very handy that way. It ALSO has a top folding stock. I would much rather use it with the stock unfolded and against my shoulder but I have the option of either.
 
Somebody a few posts back said that I would have to cut the stock off to put a pistol grip on this gun. Is there no other way. Out of all the shotgun accesories out there on the web,is there not a pistol grip that would fit this gun anywhere. I also knew all the views people have on pistol grips. I have been shooting for years. I hoped that this thread would not turn into won of these pg's are good/no pg's are bad threads. I just wanted help finding a pistol grip for my shotgun.

yeah, sorry we thread jacked this.


i think somone mentioned show since its a sxs, the stock does not come off. is this the case? with all the 870's, 500s, and 1300s, the stock just screws on anf off.

so people are tplling you to cut the stock and fashion it to a pistol grip shape.
 
I am not aware of anybody who makes a pistolgrip for a side by side. There's just not much market.
Doubles are not typically used for defensive purposes (some do, I know), and a pistolgrip removes any practicality for hunting or sporting purposes.

Aye, sorry 'bout the thread drift.

Yes, because of the extremely limited market for PG's on SxS's there are none being made that I know of, and even if they were being made, there's no guarantee that they would fit your gun.

Sorry, but unless you want to cut the stock off, you're outta luck.
 
Shooting targets on the range is one thing.

Shooting at a bad guy(s) who might be as equally determined, or more, to shoot you, is another.
