Just wondering the pros and cons of a pistol grip stock on a DS.

pros---  Possibly a better hold with a pistol grip, but most important is that it scares the crap out of Feinstein and Pelosi   ;D

"The laws that forbid the carrying of arms are laws of such a nature. They disarm only those who are neither inclined nor determined to commit crimes.... Such laws make things worse for the assaulted and better for the assailants; they serve rather to encourage than to prevent homicides, for an unarmed man may be attacked with greater confidence than an armed man."
- Thomas Jefferson, Commonplace Book (quoting 18th century criminologist Cesare Beccaria), 1774-1776

It's easier to shoot one-handed with a pistol grip.

Put a Knoxx stock with the pistol grip on a 870 and a 590.

Stock did a great job of reducing recoil on both.

I was fine with the grip on the 870, but found it made using the tang safety a bit cumbersome on the 590.  

I felt it gives more control handling the shotgun and the recoil.

Personally, I don't think it makes a dimes worth of difference. Unless you're into three gun competion, we're talking across the living room with 'OO buck shot. Any stock will do. Get whatever feels comfortable. For hunting, I prefer a straight stock on a SxS. For HD, whatever works. I have a semi pistol grip on my maverick riot gun and I don't plan on changing it. I mean honestly, how often are you going to shoot the thing? For me, I patterned it, satisfied myself that it will go bang, and that's probably the last time it will be fired unless I need it.  Its a freaking riot gun. No riot (or burglar) I have no use for it. Don't stress over this. Just buy whatever makes you happy. If you are going to shoot skeet or hunt, my answer will differ.

The AR style collapsing stock with pistol grip gives some one hand control while you use the other hand for something like flipping on a light switch, or say, calling 911.
since the stock telescopes it is adjustable for different size shooters or for differences in clothing .
For example extended more during tee shirt weather and shorter for winter jacket etc makes it a must have item for outdoor use..

I have pulled the pistol grip full stock from my 870 and replaced it with a standard style youth stock. It works better for me when wearing my plate carrier and also for general work (easier in and out of the vehicle). I have not noticed a down side as yet. I shoot from a "squared "stance so it fits better. To each their own.
