[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 4066869, member: 2469"] Shockwave Technologies the company that developed the Raptor grip designed it for the Mossberg 500 PGO (Pistol Grip Only) firearm which never had a stock installed. The Raptor grip design allowed the use of a 14” barrel on the PGO without violating the NFA regulations on making a short barreled shotgun without paying for a tax stamp. Only later did Mossberg offer the Shockwave as a factory produced firearm. In essence it is a big middle finger at the NFA regulations on SBS and AOWs. The only thing these guns are not designed for is firing from the shoulder, but that does not meant that you can’t align the firearm with your eyes and the target. The strap could be an aid to controlling the gun, but also prevents the user’s hand from slipping off the forend and in front of the barrel. There was a time when doctrine demonstrated pistols being fired from the hip, but we don’t do that anymore because sighted fire is more effective. There’s no reason not to do the same with firearms with Raptor grips installed. [/QUOTE]
