Pistol Grip: Proper Technique

[5150bronco]

I'd wear a catcher's mask for the first couple of days

lol. I might have to look at a couple more videos before I do that.

looks like technique more than brute force to control recoil.

the knoxx stock will kick the crap out of your face...especially in a shotgun class for instance...but is wonderous on the shoulder...
personally I think the pistol grip only thing is OK for like blowing locks off doors...
but for anything else it blows... or perhaps I should say it is difficult to shoot and exceedingly slow...just my opinion...and I'm not like an expert or anything but I have stayed at a Holiday Inn and I do teach the stuff occasionally...like anyone cares...

this is very helpful for me and cost effective so I can learn and not have to spend money to find out what others have already learned.

I just want a adjustable stock....., and have only found that option with pistol grip set up.

You don't "shoulder" that type of shotgun. With a PGO (Pistol Grip Only) shotgun, you "fire from the hip" where your strong hand is holding the pistol grip snug just above your hip, and your weak arm is holding the forearm. You hold the gun parallel to the ground, and you will hit what you are facing. It takes some practice and some getting used to, but I feel that it is a great home defense tactic. Plus, without the stock, the gun is 2/3 shorter and easier to keep out of sight.

Yes, I already know the answer.

I was responding to 5150Bronco's comment of "raising it to the shoulder like any other shotgun", because I think he misunderstood that we were talking about PG-only shotguns.

yes. i did. now i understand. totally different. when you raise to shoulder you do rest stock on shoulder actually though, little on chest.
