pistol grip shotgun

[EvilKidsMeal]

I know this has been covered, and i knew the answer at one time, but i can put a pistol grip on my mossberg 500 correct? It was sold with a shoulder stock.

Btw I am 21 years old and do have a LTCH.

I hate having to ask again but i couldnt find a confirmation, and im on my phone so its kind of a pain to search more exstensively.

yes you can.

 

[EvilKidsMeal]

Thought so, but better safe than sorry.

Thank you

 

[ARdysfunction]

yes you can

But should you???

But should you???

Somethings must be learned on one's own

Depends what the intended purpose of this gun is. If it is for home defense, then I would.

Boy, I still wouldn't.

Recoil is pretty strong.

Come on guys, Everyone knows when you put a pistol grip on your shot gun that the 'cone of instant death' it shoots goes From 3' to 5' at close range and it will also be able to knock people of their feet when shot by it

Havent movies taught you anything?

It isn't the recoil that's the issue...

It's aiming!

I don't understand how a pistol grip affects recoil or aiming on a shotgun. Can someone enlighten me?

Also, why is everyone bashing the tactical shotgun setup on this thread, but in all other threads people are always recommending the 590 I thought. Is it just the 500 conversion that is the problem?

The threshold question is contained in the Jeremy Doctrine of Silly Shotguns, to wit: are you as hot as Milla Jovovich?

Without a buttstock your wrist absorbs the recoil instead of your shoulder.

In light of previous statement it is helpful for the health and well being of your face to keep a pistol gripped shotgun well away from your face when firing, hindering your ability to aim.

590/500 has nothing to do with it.

A usually reliable source said that if you put a vertical grip on the slide of a pump shotgun WITH a pistol grip on it, it becomes a handgun. Would it be an illegal weapon if not sold as such?

I believe that is combining state law and NFA law improperly. You should be fine as long as it is over 26" in total length.

I've put a pistol grip/side folder on both my 500 and 590, for ergonomic and storage issues. I wouldn't fire one pistol grip only unless there was a pressing need to get a round off now.
