Just needs a black buttstock now. Going for the 2 tone. I'm really torn between pistol grip or not though

Kinda leaning that way, but I do like how quick and maneuverable a pg is. Definitely not as comfortable though

Nope. PG sucks for shotgun. Unless you have a mag-fed shotgun

Personally I find them to be more maneuverable around corners and cover. But to each their own. For every other situation I don't like them. It all depends on the use case

Lol are you going to be doing CQC in Baghdad or shooting a shotgun at the range?

They suck, its a mall ninja gimmick, you don't see Clint Smith with pistol grips on his shotguns lol.

Yeah i always find it humorous when people justify their PG's. Like if you just want it for the looks or you genuinely prefer how it feels then by all means go for it. But the whole "it gives me a tactical advantage " is such bogus.

The CQC thing is literally "I don't know why I want this, so I googled the advantages of it" answer.

The real answer is cosmetic larping, and that thats fine but from an functionality standpoint pistol grips are worse in every way, except maybe in if you need to hold a gun one handed with yout dominant hand, for some reason? Maybe breaching a door hinge? I don't really even see an advantage to it.

Building something cause you think it looks cool or it's fun to shoot its fine, but lets stop parroting these silly "tactical" excuses.
