Put a stock on your shotgun. A full stock allows you to shoulder the shotgun and aim. If you do not aim a shotgun, you will miss. It also allows you to keep it on your shoulder while you reload the gun. 2. Stocks with pistol grip - These are regular stocks with a pistol grip, much like an AR-15 stock. These are a matter of taste. I thought I wanted one, but after playing around with one for a while, I found that a regular stock was much more comfortable to me. Try one out of you can before investing in one. |

which +1 extension tube would you get?
there seems to be a variety out there... is there one that's better than another or are they all pretty much the same? $40-55 range |

hey Guys, just picked up a new 870 along with a blackhawk spec ops folder.. I havent fired it yet as I am still not sure if I like the way it fits into my shoulder, i liked the idea about the reduced recoil and may swap it for their M4 style , any thoughts?

any chance you have measurements for the length or your stocks off the gun? I'm looking to shorten one, but I'd like to not have to put it on the gun, take it off, put it on...etc. Also, how do put a recoil pad on your now shortened stock?

Try one out of you can before investing in one. I couldn't agree more. After trying a bunch of different designs over the years, I prefer the regular setup too. Respect to the OP for a great write-up. |

Yes it adds weight but doesn't feel like anything significant. Besides keeping your barrel from getting really hot it also allows you to add a rail assembly mounted on the bottom of it like this product: I have this exact model on mine and it is awesome! Very convenient! I have a Surefire and a sling loop mounted on to it. |

I have a Mossberg 500A
Does anyone make an (I'm guessing on the name of this part) extended action lock lever? With a pistol grip stock on, the grip tends to get in the way of the pump release (what I'm calling the action lock lever) and it makes for a sketchy cocking in of a new round |

I don't have a shotgun in my collection yet and try to keep things tactical so this is right up my alley. Anybody shot one of these yet or even handled one maybe at Shotshow, if so what did you think? Thanks, Kirch |
