M1S90: Pistol or standard grip preference?

[hoser45]

No patience to try and search this so sorry if covered. For the older M1 Super 90, which do you prefer and why? Does pistol grip help with functioning of the bolt due to better recoil control, does it just get in the way or feel unnatural, other pros and cons?

[hoser45]

YES!! and to be honest, if you're not gonna use it for hunting at all, go with the pistol grip stock cause its much easier to manuever with on hand while in a gunfight than without the pistol grip.

I just think that I'm so used to shotgunning with standard grips, it may be more beneficial to stick with what comes "naturally".

 

However, based on my last outing of clays and hunting, maybe it'll HELP!

For many of us in the cali like states. The PG is not an option so in the name of your fellow nelli holders. GET THE GRIP!

Pistol grip in Cali is not a problem as long as the stock is FIXED.

I used to have a Mossberg with an 18" barrel and pistol grip. Loved it, I could even gets clays with it from the hip! After this coming elk season hopefully ill be able to get a benelli of similar configuration.

Just for the record - a pistol grip stock is OK on a shotgun in California.

Whether or not the pistol grip is okay in California is one of those "UM DUH" moments.

 

You see them on the shelves of the dealers, don't ya?

 

I've bought two M4s with pistol grips in CA, and I know several others who have too.

 

WTF?

[No F-Bdy Bs]

I think that so many shooters get hung up on "MUST HAVE PISTOL GRIP!, OMG, its a Tacticool Shotgun!!"

Without ever having taken one single tactical shotgun course, or shooting in a 3-gun match.

 

A PG stock feels GREAT!,,,,,,,,,,,,,in your living room.

Though, look at the worlds top 3-gun and tactical shooters.

Nearly all of them run field stocks, and there is a reason for that.

A PG stock was invented for one purpose. To keep your shotgun aimed in the threat direction while you used you other hand for something else, like opening a door. Thats it. It evolved into turkey guns. Unless you are a door-kicker(which your most likely are not) a PG stock will probably slow you down.

 

Dont think that a field stock takes anything away from your tactical shotgun. Im not saying its the best for everyone, but at least give a field stock a try.

No, not shooting beer cans in your buddies pasture, but in a real shotgun class. Give yourself and your gun a real workout with both configurations, and I bet that you will be running back to a field stock.

To keep your shotgun aimed in the threat direction while you used you other hand for something else, like opening a door or using the telephone, such as to call 911.

 

Fixed, and agreed.

 

However, I have SO much more control with a PG stock than a standard stock. A wise man once said:

 

"Give me pistol grip. or give me death." - h.bowman

[motoracer1486]

Just to clarify, pistol grips are legal in California

 

Pump action shotguns can have a pistol grip and have a folding stock.

 

Semi-automatic shotguns can have a pistol grip but cannot have a folding stock.

 

(this is what my local gun store told me anyway).

It seems to be a matter of weapon retention during fights as far as many are concerned. And the cool factor of course.
