Stock and pistol grip...love it or hate it?

For clays or flying game traditional shotgun stock. For combat/defense, buckshot/slugs pistol grip.

For me my Choate mark V shoulders, points and aims more comfortably on my 870 express when shooting horizontally. It also distributes the recoil between my shoulder and the palm of my hand, much softer shooting.

Old picture, I have a Remington extension and police foregrip on now.

It would be a home defense and fun at the range gun, not shooting any clays or game.

You might as well get a sporting shotgun because shooting clay birds has a way of staying fun long after blasting away at ground targets loses its novelty, and it's not like sporting shotguns are totally useless as home defense guns, a situation that may not happen to you in a dozen lifetimes.
You'll understand the first time you almost shoot 100/100 in trap or skeet.
 
I had a pistol grip and knox recoil buttstock combo on my 870 express tactical and i hated both of them.
The pistol grip is just in the way when reloading from the shoulder'
I swithched to the magpul stock and forend and i like it much better.
 
My biggest issue with "tactical" style guns is that I can't get past the ugly. I mean, they seem to be ugly on purpose, for no good reason other than to look "tacticool".
