David, I like the pistol grip, especially on my carbines. It makes them easy to grip them as they hang down on one arm. One-handing a really short 99 in the woods is a whole different experience from the usual EG'esque pipe shuffle. When bears are on the menu it gets downright Robert Ruark'ish. You just dare em to charge!
Pistol grips and short barrels are the chipotle sauce of the woods.
As always, JMO.
