In my honest opinion pistol grip shotguns are junk. Anything you can't aim is pretty useless. They look cool....That's pretty much it.
I don't own one by the way. Just going by experiences shooting pistol grip shotguns other people had. They're pretty much all the same.Last edited by okrattler; 06-12-2018, 02:13 AM.

Think of it from the receiving end, you want to be in a typical residential hall and have someone walk into the other end and shoot at you with one of these or a pistol?

Handled the Mossberg Shockwave
A friend brought over his newly purchased Mossberg Shockwave (14 inch barreled 12g) last night. Handles nice, but I haven't shot it yet. I would prefer the 20g version.
I have fired several pistol grip shotguns and several shotguns cut down to 18 inch barrels. All of those wind up banging back into the middle finger that is wrapped around the grip behind the trigger guard (same experience for my son). Sometimes it has resulted in actually bruising that finger from just a few shots.
The only advantage to the shockwave or tac-14 that I can see, is that these are not true pistol grip shotguns (as they would be a SBS and require a stamp). The possible shooting advantage, is that hopefully shooters will not get their other fingers bruised and banged up with the rear grip being in-line with the receiver, much like the shape and design of a buttstock on a standard shotgun.
Do I have a need for something like this? I have some guns that I have purchased as a "need", and several as a want, or fun purchase. I see one of these shotguns as the latter.

Shooting and showing the new Mossberg Shockwave, a non NFA firearm with a 14" barrel. ------------------------ Hickok45 videos are filmed on my own private s...
This old timer is pretty accurate with a shockwave. I got a marine grade one, to leave in the truck. Ran a box of shells through it and was surprised on how pretty accurate it was shooting from the hip. Even got a jackrabbit from the drivers seat at about 25 yards. Would like to run some of the shorty shells through it. I expect to be able to sell it for what I paid for it down the road if I decide to go that route.

I have carried and shot just about every kind of law enforcement/defense shotgun made. Carried a pistol grip/12 in bbled 870 for years. I personally find that the regular butt stock is a much better option with the short barrels. The last years I worked I carried an FBI 870, 12 1/2 bbl and full butt stock. Very carryable and accurate.

They are legal! What are your thoughts on them?
I'm guessing your last name is Foxtrot. Was this thread too stale for you to feel like posting in?

hboy35 is right, the trigger guard on the 12ga is pretty hard on the middle finger. What about having the barrel ported?Last edited by Thumper; 06-12-2018, 02:21 PM.
