You're NOT going to hit a damn thing, shooting from the hip, and you can't aim well at all with it.

have you ever locked yourself out of the house and thought man i wish i had a breeching shotgun to get in and feed the dog?

pistol grip

I don't see pistol grips on shotgun either

but if you can and you want one why not!!!!!!

Pistol grips are more comfortable for shooting and allow one more point to ease recoil and aid controllability.

It's not for "firing from the hip" like your media is telling you. Though that's fun, it doesn't do anything for you.

are we talking about a pistol grip only or a shopulder stock with a pistlo grip below more like a AR?

pistol grips are good for any close quarters situation. Just like drawing and aiming with a handgun, bringing upa shotgun and sighting takes just as long. With pistol grips you point and shoot. I guarantee I can hit any body sized target within 7 yds with my pistol grips from the hip. No I don't go shooting skeet that way. But pistol grips definately have there place and purpose on a shotgun for home defense.

we're talking about a grip like on an AR, at least I am.. not just a pistol grip by itself.

For those talking about the spec ops from Knoxx.......

GET IT! Good quality, love the adjusting stock, less recoil (to a point) and feels great.
