Marcus, Erick's point about shortening the stock is certainly valid. I just received my Marine Mag. 870 back from a smith who, along with installing adj. Sage ghostrings and porting, replaced my factory nylon Rem. stock with a solid Speedfeed model. I noticed a difference when I first picked it up. It's easier to mount, without the top of the buttpad catching on clothing, and seems to make the entire weapon feel shorter and more maneuverable. The fore-end replacement now allows the use of a sidesaddle without cutting the length of the stock Rem. model. As far as pistol grip stocks, I believe that with most people, unless they have alot of time on a pistol gripped weapon such as a AR15/M16, i.e, military exp, then the straight regular stock is quicker to utilize, and more natural, because of prior shooting experience with straight stocks.
