Straight vs. Pistol Grip Stock

[Fishtail]

IMO a small framed gun looks better as a straight grip. A straight grip seems to fit the idea of a small, light bird gun better.

A large frame, let's say #2 or larger, looks better as a PG. I think it would look kinda funny to be shooting ducks with a #6 frame gun with a straight grip.

Aside from looks, I couldn't care less which type it has.

That's probably true up to a certain point, Greg, but have you ever tried to handle one of these diminutive British .410s that were in such abundance (and cheap) years ago? If you have even slightly large mitts, they're like gripping a soda straw. I've handled a 00 frame 28 Parker with a straight stock and it's just a tad too dainty. I feel like I am holding onto my 00 frame PG 28, and it doesn't feel so whippy.

Greg mentioned a #6 frame straight grip gun. I guess it's time to go shopping.
