argument at f&s

[shootemup]

guy wanted to get a pistol grip semi auto 12 gauge. Clerk says safeact banned them, guy counters, NO JUST thumbhole shotgun stocks. Can't get them the customer is told and he leaves. I was on the safecrap page and it DOES only mention thumbhole stocks......am I missing something ?

e. An ability to accept a detachable magazine

Gun shop legal advice is worth exactly what you paid for it.

Isn't Field and Stream the same dicks as Dick's?

There you go.

Find another gun shop. It's really that simple. When I wanted to buy a Kel-Tec KSG, I couldn't find a gun shop by me in Orange County that would transfer the shotgun for me that I bought in GunBroker. I heard the pistol grip thing. I heard the high capacity thing. So I asked around and heard that a gun shop in Dutchess County would transfer it for me.

So I drove there (about an hour away) and got it.

I contacted some actual gun shops when I got home .....1 said NO p/g on a semi auto shot gun period 2 others said ''5 shot tube CAN have pistol grip, 7 shot tube, conventional stock only'' WTF ?? So imagine the confusion if a cop is involved.............I am thinking of Mossberg 930 SPX myself, but I don't want a p/g anyway. This whole conversation is really messed up even more because according to the safecrap site,. PISTOL GRIP is not even mentioned, but a ''thumbhole'' is.....for semi auto shotguns

What a field day for the heat...

Oh wait, it's been almost 5 years since the last rally in Albany.

( ... snicker ... )

 

[meketrefe]

What are the models you normally see with a pistol grip?
I think the Bellini is a popular one but what other models are out there?

 

[eagleridge357]

Pistol Grip is NOT called out in unSAFE for semi auto SG.

And on a side note, the Mossberg 930 is a jammomatic POS.

 

[Podmonkey]

So does Field & Stream have the same gun, ammo & accessory selection as Cabella's or are they fuddier?

Have you actually shot one ? I haven't myself looking for actual shooting opinions before I get too serious about this.

I have, more than one. Not a fan.

And I watched a guy struggle all day this fall in a shotgun course with Chris Fry of MDTS using a 930.

Well that sucks....i love the look of it and also how it shoulders and the sights. I don't want a p/g shotgun, prefer a traditional stock . I am not hearing much good about new Remingtons.........wonder about getting an older 1100 and converting it to what I want ? Bennelli/Beretta is out of my budget.
