ever shot a pistol grip 12 gauge? Very awkward.....for me at least.

Personally, I’m really digging that pistol grip. A pump action, mag fed pirate gun?

Yes, please

Own one.
Hurts so good.
Empty the mag, and you’ll be grinning (and rubbing your thumb) for hours.
And not refilling the mag for some time.

I’ve got a 870 with a pistol grip, factory 18” barrel, and a recoil absorbing stock.

It’s fine for shooting self defense shells out of it, which are not magnum, but if I shoot magnum buckshot out of it, Holy Jesus!

The pistol grip does fine, but the upward recoil is so strong that you simply cannot maintain a grip on the forend. That barrel will lift up out of your hand a couple of inches every single time.

I got to get me a forend with a handle on it.

All that being said, it’s still incredibly satisfying to shoot it.

Depends on the cartridge used. I wouldn’t use magnum loads for a pistol grip shotgun.
