Vertical Fore grip vs Front pistol grip on a pump action shotgun?
Completely vertical like [url=http://www.improvised-engineering.com/images/Mossberg%20Fullside.jpg]this?[/url]
or more of a pistol grip like [url=http://www.imfdb.org/images/thumb/7/73/Mossberg500CruiserwithForegrip.jpg/450px-Mossberg500CruiserwithForegrip.jpg]this?[/url]
Keep in mind I am only asking about the forward grip, so do not base opinion on anything else pictured.
Any shooters that can vouch for either one? Which one is more comfortable?
[url=http://whichgun.com/img/firearms/shotguns/mossberg/500-tactical-tri-rail-adjustable-8-shot/1.jpg] This[/url] is what I currently have. 12 gauge, with a 20 inch barrel and ghost ring sights mounted.
Please no rage about guns. I have one, you will not convince me to give it up.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] im am b0red [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] SpartanMk18 Eh, I would only go with a forward grip if you are using it without the butt stock. [/quote] See above picture to see what stock/grip I have. [/quote] Yeah, I saw it. Super Tacti-cooled shotguns have never been my style. I dig my walnut finish. I just need a shorter overall barrel length. [quote][quote] In my eyes I don't see any real advantage to a forward grip what so ever. I am even weary about a pistol grip to begin with on a 12 gauge. I've heard stories of people's wrists getting -blam!- up from the recoil while using a pistol grip on a 12 gauge. [/quote] I have a buttstock, my wrist are safe. Besides, I need to put something. Just having rails feels terrible and awkward. [/quote] Isn't the slide release a little harder to get to with a pistol-gripped Mossberg? You know they make polymer slides with no rails right? You don't HAVE to get a foregrip. Though if that is what you want. [quote] Though, if I had to choose, I would drop that Mossturd and get an 870 because me, and I would go for option number 1. For some reason, option 2 screams Russian Mafia at me. [/quote] No one like a fan boy. "The Model 500 is the only shotgun to pass the US Army's Mil-Spec 3443E test, "a brutal and unforgiving torture test with 3,000 rounds of full power 12 gauge buckshot". The 870 was also tested. It failed.[/quote] I jest. I chose the 870 personally because I don't want a polymer shotgun. I don't want a shotgun pained up in camoed plastic. I wanted a gun with a wooden stock and wooden slide. That is what I got, a beautiful 870 with a walnut finish. It has dings and nicks now, but it's a field gun, it's supposed to be a little rough around the edges. You know what might work for you, the [url=http://media.midwayusa.com/productimages/880x660/primary/512/512604.jpg]Magpul AFG[/url] It doesn't drop down to far, it will cover your rails, from what I hear, it runs great on a shotgun, and it looks pretty cool too.

Vertical feels more comfortable for me, but it is a personal preference.

Vertical for me. A front pistol grip puts my wrist at an awkward and uncomfortable angle.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Gamma617g I think shotguns look kinda retarded with an additional grip. If you aren't man enough to make do with the default grip, use a different gun. Also, I find it awkward holding something with 2 grips like that.[/quote] Using the pump action is actually more normal-feeling with the grips, but it's harder to aim IMO because both your hands are below the gun rather than having one hand on it without a vert grip.

Vertical, or at least it works for me on my AR15.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Cheesusslice you should just go to the local gun store and ask to hold a few guns with vertical and pistol grips. see which one is more comfortable/easier to use. not that it's complicated to use... [/quote] I plan on this before i buy but still... Everything feels comfortable while sitting still. But when I am firing 3" Slugs, thats when the real test begin.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] CruddiestBlock1 I've personally liked the vertical grip. The gun show is an M590a1 tactical shotgun if I'm not mistaken. Got a similar one back home.[/quote] M500 tactical, visually the same gun, very few differences.

I've never shot a shotgun with any type of foregrip, though a vertical foregrip seems the way to go.
