That doesn't mean you can't shoot a Mossberg 500 or Remington 870 for clays, skeet, or hunting. Just that they aren't the best tools for the job.

The reason you don't see skeet, trap, sporting clay shooters using a Mossberg or Remington is because it is not cool to do so. If you're a good, you can hit clays with anything that has a stock. I've seen guys with 870s shoot pretty good and guys with Perazzis that can't hit the side of a barn. But nobody oohs and ahhs at the 870.

topfolding stock it is... i still get the cool factor, but keep the recoil dampning and aiming ability.

If you go topfolding stock, make sure you get a saddle for it. Super cool and gives you a few extra shells. Shotshells are hard to carry and heavy, make sure to get yourself a bandolier.

I have to agree with everyone else. The pistol grip looks cool but is not practical. You'll end up putting the shotgun in the corner and never shooting it because it's not fun to shoot. If you're gng strictly for close quarters, home defense then I guess the pistol grip is hard to beat. But if you want to use the gun for anything else AND want to have any accuracy, go with stock.
