    Tactical shotgun question

    Pistol grip or standard stock??
    Other than personal preference, why?

    That would be completely personal preference. I prefer a normal style stock over pistol grip because its comfortable in my hands.

      How about a collapsible stock? I have a pistol grip just for fun but I am much more accurate with something I can shoulder and aim down sights properly with.

        For me, it's always been a tactical stock, and a good set of ghost rings. Like on my Bennelli.

          Let me rephrase.
          regular stock or stock w/pistol grip to shoulder weapon.

          Not just a pistol grip...

            Stock with pistol grip combo for me. Easier to one hand transition and control the higher recoiling rounds

                I prefer a pistol grip on an M4 style stock. It help to adjust the length of pull for when I either wearing or not wearing heavy gear. It's also helpful when you're behind cover. Sometimes the ability to adjust the length of the stock really helps. W/ pistol grip, I have better control when going over fences and such as well as manipulating the weapon during reloading. I'm speaking specifically about a reload after shots were fired and there's a lull in the action and you want to top off while keeping the weapon pointed down range. For administrative reloads, it's really irrelevant.

                  Personally I find that the pistol grip tends to jump a bit (into my cheek) when shooting very heavy loads. I suspect the hand-over-top grip used in a standard configuration buffers this a bit.

                  So if this is a shotgun that is intended to double as trap gun (or as a turkey gun) and you expect to fire 50-100 rounds thru it in a session, you may wish to try one for a bit first.

                    I ordered an ATI PX2 18.5" pump for $99 yesterday from PSA..
                    Price will be my guide on that decision

                      Pistol stock feels like it offers more control on movement.

                        I prefer a regular stock. It's what I'm used to.

                          Regular stock for me. A shotgun with pistol grip is harder to maneuver in the hip fire position. JMO...

                            I have a promag 870 tactical setup and I do not like the pistol grip. I find that for me it was hard to maneuver with it. Plus I really do not like the forend that came with the setup. IT has rails all over it and I find it not comfortable in my hands.
