(3,342 posts)Too much gun smoke makes me gag. For that reason I never shoot indoors, since the ranges are never ventilated well enough for me.
"We have at least one gunner here who likes those "assault" weapons for their ergonomics."
I do too. A pistol grip is much more comfortable for me than a standard stock. Standard stocks make you bring your arm sort of up and over, twisting your wrist a bit forward, with your elbow sticking out. Pistol grips let you hold your hand naturally and keep your elbow at a more comfortable position. I shoot more accurately with a pistol grip or thumbhole stock, and have less fatigue at the end of the day.
In addition, many of these pistol grip stocks have an adjustable length butt. My arms aren't all that long, so this feature is great for me. Below is a good example, as it also comes with an adjustable cheek rest.

Remember, a standard-looking semi-auto rifle becomes an "assault weapon" simply by changing the stock out for a more ergonomic one. That's What the above is. Pretty stupid.
The only reason anti-rights nutters fear them is because they look "military" and are afraid criminals will use them to shoot from the hip. I wish all criminals would use these and shoot from the hip, because their likelihood of hitting anything will go through the floor.
