Shotty handstops

[ghostinthewood]

I've seen handstops mounted on shotguns forward (to help with push/pull) and rear (help pump the shotgun). I was just wanting opinions on what everyone here thought of each way and which *may* be better.

If it matters, assume its on a stereotypical HD (pump) gun.

I did away with think about it, by buying SEMI-AUTO shotguns

I may in the future but I have an 870 that works just fine lol

I always thought the Mossberg nylon strap on the forearm was a good idea. Simple yet effective.

If you put some type of rail on you could always tinker with VFG or even AFG.

If I were to get a VFG i'd hold it like I would with a AFG or handstop. However, I'm heard people not liking the AFG on pumps. Besides I'm trying to keep it as "clean" looking as possible.

Might want to check out the LaRue Tactical HandStop 2-Piece Set and IndexClips, 72 Piece Set (LT708)

I think they might look kinda cool but you will have lots of leftover clips

Hmm I've seen that technique before but forgot about it. Seems if I got that set up then I could try out several things anyway.

Does anyone have any insight on whats perceived as "proper" technique?

 

[Jtgarner]

I don't know about "proper technique, but I think you are right, the Larue ones would allow you to try it in anyway that would work for you.
You could even put one in front and one behind your hand and have the same idea as the strap but without the actual strap it's self.

Thats why I put it in quotes, I was just curious as to what the internet commandos thought. =p
