Pistol Grip Shotgun for Home Defense

[blake2981]

I know they make them, but I'm not having much luck finding one in stock. Any ideas where to find one?

most common is prob. the mossberg 500's you can just get a standard one and throw a pistol grip on it for a few bucks but will prolly have a longer barrel.... you can get like a remington 870 tactical one for about 279? and the used 500's are less than that, if your close to michigan city i have a pistol grip kit you can have!

dunhams in muncie has a bunch with pistol grips....mossberg 500's

at least they did i overheard an employee last time i was in there that they shipped out 35 guns for some reason. so there selection is somewhat thin now

Yes, but can you pass the Milla Jovovich test?

Are you wanting it with pistol grip only, or pistol grip with a stock? I don't know where you are located, but I see them very often all around the Fort Wayne area shops. Good luck with your search.

Practice and do not hold the receiver near your face if you want to keep your teeth. No joke, there is a thread. With pics.

I would stick with the Rem 870 if you want to have a Pistol Grip or Pistol Grip/Stock setup. The safety is on the trigger guard. On the mossberg, the safety is on the top/back of the receiver. IMO, this makes the 870 a little more ergonomic.

My wifes experience with a pistol grip almost resulted in teeth knocked out.She still got a nasty bruise on her lip and her friends thought I hit her & wanted her to go to a battered womens shelter. My personal opinion is to consider a folding stock which gives you more options plus they have a cool factor

If your around Indy check out bradis guns in camby they had one or two last time I was in there

Also in the Indy area is Tacticalshotgunner. If we don't have what you want, we have what needs to used to make it.

I've got a new Hogue Tamer pistol grip for a Mossberg 500/Maverick 88 that I tried and don't like, if you're interested. PM sent.

The Gun Den in Shelbyville has one or two.

Honestly I wouldnt recommend them in ANY situation. They are in fact, pointless and putting yourself at a disadvantage.

Take a gun with the highest recoil your average shooter is likely to experiance, and take the stock off it! wooo!

 

[IN-Hunter]

I echo some of the other's. I don't recommend a pistol grip, especially if you or someone else in your household isn't experienced with the recoil. Buy yourself a decent 12 and maybe put a Knoxx specops stock on it, still tacti-cool.

If you want a pistol grip shotgun, I would suggest an 870. I like the 500 and that's what I own. However, do too the placement of the safety, I personally think the 870 platform is better suited for a pistol grip. Reason being, is the safety is located on the trigger guard. Where as the safety on the 500 is located on the receiver. Just something to consider.

Meh. Put a Barrett muzzle brake and bayonet on it and I may be interested.


I have a Mossberg 590 that had a pistol grip on it. It was fun to shoot, but I figured I'd rather put the gun on my shoulder in a home defence situation so the pistol grip went away.

I had a Mossberg 500 a few years back that had a pistol grip on the front and back, and held, I think, 9 rounds of 2 3/4". I really liked it, and wish I still had it. There is absolutely nothing wrong with a pistol grip shotgun, as long as the person using it knows what to expect, and how to handle it. When I had that gun, it was my main home defense gun. If you are in the Southern end of the state, check out Orion arms, they usually have several in stock.
