Question

How old do you have to be to buy a pistol grip shotgun? 18 or 21?

Answer 1

In my experience a pistol gripped shotgun is hard to hit with.  Unless there is a real need for a compact package I would leave them alone.  Even if there is a need I would opt for a folding stock.

Answer 2

18 in kansas, I'd HIGHLY recommend getting something other than a pistol grip. Do they look cool?, Yes.  Are they fun to shoot?, No, I had a mossberg cruiser 12 ga. and the recoil on those things is BRUTAL, way more recoil than any pistol I've shot, and I shoot a .44 mag on a regular basis,I'd look at the M4 type collapsible stocks or the Rem. 870 with the AR/M16 style stock, then you'd have the best of both worlds.

Answer 5

First check with state regulations in places like CA, NJ, MA, CT.....

18 years old to purchase a shotgun with pistol grip.

If I may offer something: look into a folding stock. You get the compact size of the pistol grip shotgun, you can shoot it like a pistol grip shotgun and deploy the stock to shoot normally. Choat Machine and Tool Company makes a good folding stock.

Answer 6

its 21to buy a pistol grip shotgun from an FFL. though you can buy a shotgun, then go buy a pistol grip ans attach it yourself. i wouldn't recommend a shotgun without a stock. they are difficult to aim with and sometimes outright painful to fire.

Answer 7

do you want a pistol grip pump on your lap at all times? Are you a fan of Rage Against the Machine?

Anyway, it's 18 anywhere that its legal I believe, but they're illegal in some states. (such as California...Rage's home state) your best bet is to google "**yourstate**" "pistol grip pump" "legal"
