Default RE: Lightning Vs. Red Label?

ORIGINAL: Bullet Hole Bailey

What would the pistol grip do for you better for clays? More control possibly?

The lighting has a gloss finish and the white lightning has a satin finish...any advantages to gloss or satin?

Thank you!


For me, the pistol grip gives me a better feel for the shotgun and thus a better anchor. However, due to the size of my hand(s), I need to position them correctly and this takes me a split second longer than with a straight grip. I have time when shooting clays, trap skeet, etc.. but when wing shooting sometimes a bird will kick up out of nowhere and I need to make a snap shot. In that situation I prefer the straight grip because I don't have to be perfect with my grip to knock the bird down. I'd rather give the better "feel" for quicker shouldering.

Gloss = shiny Satin = less shiny....personal preference
