... never heard they are for "spraying from the hip."

But I assume the reference must have been to rifles or shotguns with full-stock or tele-stock plus pistol grip, not a pistol-grip shotgun with no butt-stock whatever.

Those, you don't spray from the hip, but you do shoot from the hip. Guy at a range I used to frequent in FL proved why you don't raise a pistol-grip 12 gauge (no butt) to eye level to shoot. Smacked himself in the face real good, and got banned from bringing shotguns to that range....

...so some pistol grip guns are for shooting from the hip, though not "spraying." And anybody who says otherwise, well, that immediately tells me....
