PGO Shotgun Question

[stonewall50]

I’ve seen these Tac 13-14s floating around recently. And YES...I know it is really just a toy or a breach gun with almost no use. But I also like to experiment. I’ve seen the silly chainsaw grip on the Mossie. But has anyone ever put the “side grip” like from a drill on one of these? It might actually make it a bit easier to bring up and fire with 2 hands. I’d like to experiment on one of these...but they are so expensive. And if you are curious what I’m talking about still:

And yes...being realistic? The only effective thing I’ve seen on these is the “pistol brace” stock which to ME...makes it a legitimate close in choice.

I don't use any of my shotguns as hammer drills and have no
need for such grips.

I think that may be illegal. They would consider it a vertcal foregrip.

The best way to handle a PGO is to put a regular stock on it. BTDT over 30 years ago.

Vertical fore grip is illegal? I mean technically it is horizontal and perpendicular. Lol

The PGO's fall into a strange classification.
With an AR Pistol configuration, adding a vertical foregrip makes it a SBR and requires a tax stamp.
I don't know if adding a vertical fore grip to the PGO would make it a SBS or not.

I wouldn't want to be the guy who tests the courts on this issue.

Because it is a pistol (designed to be fired with “one hand”), and you are putting a device that makes your second hand come into play...

Anything pistol related, no vertical grips. You convert to SBR, then you can.

Shotgun, rifle, and even the current firearms (TAC-14, Shockwave)... none are pistols. Black Aces even puts vertical grips on most of their firearms, so no issue unless it is considered a pistol.

thank for the clarification.

A pistol with vertical grip is not an SBR- it would be classified "Any Other Weapon"

That is correct...

I’ve been looking over the PTR 9CT lately, and debating SBRing it. Had it on the brain.

Without an awful lot of training, PGO shotguns are more useless than useful.
Yes, I own a Mossberg "Cruiser" and I actually used a PGO Stevens 20 ga. as a "car gun" for many years.
I also have a "real" pistol grip shotgun.

Wow, Direwolf!
You sure know a lot about guns! Do all experts call shotguns "shottys?"

Actually with a pistol brace and low recoil shells, these guns are very handy. Think SBS without the NFA drama.

Suarez even makes a folding brace for the TAC 14 and TAC 13. I've got a TAC 14 set up that way, with Suarez' folding brace and a Holosun red dot, and it's a hoot!
