Default Pistol Grip

Just curious if anyone uses a pistol grip stock on their shot gun. I was reading somewhere that it actually helps (especially inthe recoil dept). I've seen some guys use it for turkey, but never on quail, pheasant or dove.

Works great for me. Easier for me to keep my hands in the right spot so I draw up more consistently.

The LOP on my Moss 835 is a little long and so I was considering having a gunsmith reduce it a tad, but then I was looking in the Cabela's catalog and saw some tacticle adjustable stocks w/ pistol grip. I'm not sure what adjusting the LOP on a shotgun costs but I figure it would be about the cost of the adjustable stock ($50-$60). The only difference would be the pistol grip. It's a thought, but I'm not sold on it yet.

thanks for your input,

spuddog did the catalog say if the adjustable stock would fit a Remmington 870, or a Mossberg 500? if so how much did it cost?

I got one free with my SBE II. I use it for turkey hunting only but it does help steading the shot for long periods of time, which can happen with turks. I probably would not have bought it on my own, but its fun to change it up and easy to do so.

Doveshooter,

Sorry haven't checked this post for a while. I though it had dried up. I've seen tacticle stocks w/ pistol grips and adjustable LOP for both and they are in the $60 - $100+ range. The one I saw was about $70 and fit Moss 500/835. I have the 835.
