Thanks. I am actually looking for the Mossberg SA 20 that Donk recommended. After a lot of research I have to decided to get one if I can find it.

No law against having a 12 and a 20.

:D

If I see one, I will holler.

I just never have been a Mossy fan, but they have improved in the past 15 or 20 years.

I have a Remington 870 12 Gauge. My wife is not very receptive to pistols so I thought the 20 Gauge tactical may be a good option. I will try ordering one. Thanks

Got this one today. The laser/green flashlight is damn cool.

Only "bad" thing about pistol gripped shotguns is that most people cannot move the safety to "fire" without breaking their grip to do so.

i got a a nice S&W J frame 38 at a pawn shop for my wife.




That was a dang good trade.


:bwahaha:



Seriously, I have a great wife. A few years ago we were out having dinner and out of the blue she asked if I needed another gun safe.

If the safety is on the trigger guard, like A Remington or a Benelli, then ok. But a tang safety with a pistol grip sucks.

I had an 870 turkey gun with a pistol grip and collapsible stock. Hardest rectilinear gun I have ever shot. Traded it in on a G17.

Safety is up top on Mossbergs and is easier to access(thumb) than the 870 where it is behind the trigger guard. The main problem I could see with an autoloader being pistol gripped is perhaps someone might not put enough shoulder behind it to cycle properly....now all Brad needs is one of these contraptions

Yup, but we can see where his is. ;)

I'm a simple man who likes simple things with simple stocks/grips with simple safeties where i simply slide my simple thumb up and over in a simple short, smooth motion while never breaking my simple grip to move my simple safety simply forward.... ;)

Santa Claus brought me a Remington 1100 for Christmas in 1973, so the safety on the trigger guard is quite ingrained in me.
