Shotgun pistol grip ?

gunnut44 · Oct 30, 2009

Does anyone know if they make a wood pistol grip for a shotgun? I want to turn my mossberg 500 into a "home" gun but I don't like the looks of the black accessories. I like the look of wood and steel. I have never seen a wood grip just wondering if anyone else has.

I haven't seen them in a long time but I know that speedfeed use to make wood pistol grips. I handled a US Marshall that was equipped with it. It looked good with it but for more than a magazine full of buckshot I prefer a Hogue or Pachmayr rubber grip.

heres a case where you might want to try to balance aesthetics and punishment.
even a grip with comfort in mind will put the hurts you you where serious feed is concerned.
hope you can finish the fight with 3 rounds of full house 00 3" magnums. Thats about all your hand will be up for.

Unless I have special call for it, like concealed carry or automotive roles, I prefer a full stock. It seems to assist pointability in all firing positions.

IMHO
Go with one of the collapsable M-16 clone style models. Or an OEM "youth stock". Your wrist, hand, and possibly even bridge work will be glad you did. If you insist on going a P/G rear, I highly recommend a nylon strap on the fore arm. It'll keep the gun from rising off your hand during recoil.
JOMO?

I've only put the black grips & pump handle in my 870, but I did have a collapsing butt stock on it once, but it was black too..

+1. I like wood over black myself, that's what my Win1200 Dfndr has. But it's a full stock. Those pistol grips...ouch!!! Even messing around w-birdshot those things just tear you up.

My wife has trouble with slides on hers' or my auto's so she picked out this Mossberg Home defender in .410 and I added the aftermarket pistol grip (fore end grip comes with it) and this is her bed room security........

Here is a wood grip on a Remington. These were made by Scattergun Technologies (now owned by Wilson Combat). When Wilson bought Scattergun Technologies several years back they stopped making them.
I know Speedfeed makes a plastic copy of the grip for Remington, Mossberg, and Winchester I believe.

At bedroom distance you still have to aim...so I'm not a big fan of pistol grips...

That is exactly what I am looking for, I will have to do some searching.
Lt JL, that is one serious looking shotgun! Thanks for all the replies.

Now that mossberg came out with their Shockwave-.... does anyone know to buy that wood grip version?

I would just get another wood stock and cut it down. A few basic tools and plenty of sanding will get the same results in pictures

Ever shot a 12 ga with just a pistol grip ? I have an old 'revelation ' (mossberg 500 for western auto) cut to 18" with the stock cut down to a pistol grip (I won this in a bet) other than an amusing conversation piece and for a few demonstration shots it's pretty worthless. Get a shorter barrel and keep the conventional stock - it will be much more practical and controllable.

The style of stock in Whitecoyote's post/pic is called a "Birdshead". They are somewhat less punishing than a typical pistol style grip/stock. I was told this is due to the recoil force being distributed differently. I have a black synthetic one on a 18", 12ga pump. This may or may not assist in your search for that style in wood. Best of luck, hardcase60

The officers of my agency never was able to qualify with their pistol grip shotguns

Putting aside that this is a 7 1/2 year old necropost, pistol grips on a serious shotgun are flat out dumb. They are really unpleasant when you actually fire a round, and not consistent with aiming and performing well (you do have to aim with a shotgun regardless of the ammo you use, unlike the folklore).

Recently acquired a Mossberg ShockWave.
It's a Model 590 with a 14" barrel.

I love shockwave. Great grip

Now who can make me a wood version?
