Went "tactical" about 20 years back when I got a really good deal on a Rem factory folder/PG/LEO-only stock. Had an extension tube on & loaded that sucker up with some 1-1/4 oz #4s & blasted the heck out of a rock out-cropping 10 yards out - folder up/no shoulder stock.
Rapid-fire, I proceeded to miss the target repeatably & kept shooting "for effect" until the PG butted (maybe 2 shells later) into my mouth & gave me a "parrot beak." Never punched myself in the face before that .....
Maybe with more shooting, I could overcome the silliness of using a long-gun as a pistol .... until then, I think I'll just use the standard stock & hit what I'm aiming at .....
A folder stock does have some attractiveness regards compactness, but every one to date does suck when actually shooting them - somewhat the whole point, no?
Give me a stock 870 & a light - mounted or not. & the light itself only comes into play ... what? way <1% of the time .... ?
