Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns Tactical Shotguns: Pistol Grip or Traditional Stock?

Now, in your opinion, what advantage is gained with the pistol grip vs the traditional stock configuration? One advantage to the traditional one is that, on this model anyway (Mossberg SPX-8), the safety is much more naturally able to be operated with the thumb. What advantage is gained with the pistol grip other than looking more tacticool? Thanks.
