Straight Grip Premium

[Copper John]

Hi guys I was wondering if there is any general consensus on a dollar amount or percentage premium on straight grip repros vs pistol grip?

[Dean Romig]

A straight grip has always been my preference but in a Repro a straight grip will usually mean higher DAC and DAH.
There certainly were fewer made with straight grips but there are also fewer people who want one. But I will say if there were two 28 gauge Repros side by side and everything was equal with the exception that one was a pistol grip and one was straight but the straight grip was $300 more I’d still buy the straight grip.

All my Repros are straight grip, but some day I may own a pistol grip.

Mine are straight grip. very satisfied with them. would buy more

[Gary Laudermilch]

All of mine are pistol grip. When I view a for sale listing of a repro the first thing I look at is the stock configuration. If it is an straight grip I skip right on buy. To each his own.

I have used both and sold the straight grip. I have more control with one hand with a pistol grip in heavy cover when I need to use the other hand for dog GPS or move branches while hunting Grouse and Woodcock in Michigan.

It’s all in how you look at it ! I can do equally well or equally bad with either configuration .

I'm somewhat surprised you think fewer people want a straight grip Repro. I believe it's just the opposite, although I have nothing to base that on other than personal observations.

Last week a 20ga straight grip SST 26” UNFIRED repro sold on pook & pook auction for $5500. Would it be safe to assume a gun in the same configuration in unfored condition but pistol grip would fetch near that?

Good question John
