Deciding Between Pistol Grip versus Stock on a Tactical Shotgun

By Harry Red


Many gun fans enjoy changing their weapons and switching out stock parts. There's even a debate about which is preferable for a tactical shotgun: the normal stock or a pistol grip. Sadly, there is not any straightforward answer to this query because it relies on your experience, preference and the situation.

As an example , the traditional stock is generally best for hunting, offering better targeting and making the 1st shot easier. Most folks performing a Saiga conversion opt to swap out the stock for a pistol grip that is made in the U. S. to comply with the Fed 922r regulation. Here's a look at some of the points to consider when you're choosing between a stock and a pistol grip.

The weapon's maneuverability is a very important consideration as the pistol grip will reduce the shotgun's length. It also implies you will not need to raise your elbow in a shooting position which permits you to maneuver around a home, corners and stairs. A shotgun with a pistol grip installed also makes it much easier to run, move, crouch and even hold in one hand.

The pistol grip can also be handier when you are holding the weapon with your hand on the grip for an extended period of time, as it decreases wrist strain and keeps your hand from getting tired fast. Some individuals also find the pistol grip is more intuitive as far as the safety button is concerned.

You can also find the pistol grip allows for a simple transition if you already shoot with a rifle with a pistol grip â€" like an AR-15 â€" or a pistol. Ultimately, the pistol grip reduces your profile as you hold your hands close to your body. The only true drawback to switching your shotgun to a pistol grip with stock is the recoil, which can sometimes be tough to become used to as it hits your wrist rather hard.
