Bad324 Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Looking for a Mothers Day present as well as any useful things for mine1) My mom has requested a pistol grip in order to make it easier and more comfortable to hold. My concern is her shoulder/back not having enough strength to handle the recoil with no butt stock.2) For mine I've been thinking going with an AR15 style. Pros/Cons?3) Flashlight. Worthwhile add on or no?I'm new to owning a shotgun so any tips or suggestions on this stuff as well as anything else will be helpful!

jagr Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I'm going to say your mom prolly needs a stock. Look at the Urbino. 12" LoP and a pistol grip. You may like the Urbino as wellhttp://harristacticalonline.com/Mesa-Tactical-Urbino-Stock-for-Remington-870-1100-11-87-Shotguns-Urbino-REM.htmFlashlight on a shotty is easy.EDIT. Talk to Dale about the Urbino. He has/had one and I liked the feel. He can prolly get you a better price as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kawi kid Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 If you wanna get fancy surefire and insight both make a foregrip with a weapon light integrated into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Dude Paul's wife who is smaller then my 11 year old handles a 500 with a pistol grip. If you like the pistol grip but still want a stock check out the ones that flip over the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mom is old and has shoulder and back issues. It would be my Mothers Day gift to her so as long as I'm ordering something for her might as well get some shit for mine too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
speedytriple Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 If your Mom has problems check out the knox stock it reduces recoil.http://www.midwayusa.com/product/420928/blackhawk-knoxx-specops-adjustable-length-of-pull-recoil-reducing-buttstock-and-forend-remington-870-12-gauge-synthetic-black Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 1. I agree with the knoxx stock.2. No opinion.3. Just remember a flashlight makes a great target if you don't know how to flip it on and off and move appropriately. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know what the LoP on it is from the factory? I tried doing some searching last night but couldn't come up with anything. I was dead tired so that probably didn't help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 Which 870 do you have? I know the Urbino will be shorter. WARNING!!!UNPOPULAR OPINION BELOW!!!Tac pump shotguns shouldn't have pistol grips. People operate better without them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cdubyah Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 +1 for the Blackhawk Knox. I can fire my 870 with one outstretched arm with no recoil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jagr Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 I can do that with my 590A1. (ok no I can't. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bad324 Posted May 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 hmm I like the price on this one! The recoil suppressing one would be nice but for as much as my Mom would actually use it, it'd be overkillhttp://www.cheaperthandirt.com/59936-1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cOoTeR Posted May 3, 2012 Report Share Posted May 3, 2012 +1 for the Blackhawk Knox. I can fire my 870 with one outstretched arm with no recoil.Firing a shot fun with a regular stock one handed is pretty easy. You stretch your arm out and do the gangsta tilt with it so that the stock rests on your forearm and it fires fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
