The recoil isn't bad even with 00 Buck

I've really been wanting one of these lately, but wonder if the "cool" factor would wear off really quickly and just sit in the safe...

The ONLY reason people get their teeth knocked out when they shoot pistol grip shotguns is because they are IDIOTS and don't know how to properly hold those guns. They are NOT designed to be held up near your face and be aimed like a traditionally stocked gun. They are designed to be fired from the hip or similar low position well away from your head/face/teeth.

You mean I can't put a scope on my super shorty?

Of course you can, you can do what you want, This is America...... just make sure you film shooting it for our viewing pleasure and comic relief

Back in the day, I paid $695 for my Serbu 870.

It only gets uncomfortable to shoot after you have already put a bunch of rounds thru.

I have fired everything from a wide variety of birdshot to high brass buck and slugs.

And contrary to what has been mentioned, even though the Serbu doesn't have sights on it, it is still possible to aim with it. I use the flat area on top of the shotguns receiver as a sight reference.

I do not fire it from the hip.

And sometimes, I fire two at the same time!

Geez, Big Craig is srs business! That has to be one heck of a recoil one-handed

 

[SideArmed]

Someone remind me again how it is that these are legal. Is it because they have no butt stock on them?

right, it's a pistol

Actually its an AOW. They either start out as virgin receivers or pistols and cut down and a fore grip added to them to make them AOW's.

The recoil is not bad at all................well it may be for mortals.......but not me!

This ^.

Unfortunately you can not have a shotgun "pistol" like you can an AR pistol. Federal law says smoothbore pistols that fire a shotgun shell are regulated under NFA. SO, even without a vertical foregrip, it would still be an AOW.

Who did you buy yours from? and just $5 transfer on an AOW correct?

I bought mine from Acme Sports and yes it was a $5 stamp. I went over and talked to Joe because he had a Serbu 870 and a Safety Harbor 870. Found out that he actually had 2 Serbu 870's so another member here on the board and I bought the two he had.
