Pistol grip shotgun

[Burk Cornelius]

Now for the REAL question. Is a PG even a good option for a home defense shotgun? Or would it be more practical with a factory stock and short barrel? Like most of you, I grew up shooting a shotgun and it is second nature so why mess with muscle memory when it is functioning fine already?

I wouldn't use a PG shotty for HD. Making fireballs at the range sure, but that's it.

TTT. I want to hear some of your opinions about the usefulness of a pistol grip shotgun for home defense. I personally think the standard stock is better for me because that is what I grew up shooting and it comes second nature to bring it up to my shoulder. I would worry that I would try to bring it up to my shoulder out of habit.......

Not usefull at all, unless you have no other option.

Piss poor control and accuracy....

Don't confuse macho with useful.

Want a good laugh, watch somebody try to shoot a tactical course with one.
Saw one fellow try to shoot a round of skeet, never hit one......

I think it really depends on whether you're wearing biker leather with a leg brace, and going up against crazed football shoulder pad wearing reavers in post apocalyptic Australia. Then I'd defintely recommend the PG only short double barrel shotgun.

Well played, sir..........

I've shot a pistol-grip-only shotgun once; it really was nasty, and my accuracy was rather less than stellar at distances greater than about 5 yards. The presence of a butt stock really helps with control of a shotgun while firing. Put a PG and a butt stock together, such as in the Knoxx Spec-Ops unit - now you're talking
