You don't want one though, maximum accurate range on pistol gripped shotguns is measured in inches rather than yards

Your in your own element now I can tell. Gun shops are a world of their own over here
The one down near Nige sells agricultural gear, then you find side rooms stocked all the toys.

Even the sports shops in Spain sell all the camo hunting gear at a fraction of the price you pay in the yUK

I'm not moving out there in order to dress up like a homosexual in Realtree cammo, like UK cat-shooting airgunners do

Lets not talk about cats, air guns and the UK. You know some shooting forums consider it rather bad in their ideal world of fantasies. Along with every marksman being ex sas sniper trained and never missing a shot :Copy of clock:

I've got a Rem 870 Tac.
Yeah it's easier to be accurate with it than it's stockless brother but let me assure you that with 0 gauge cartridges and a bit of practice you can waste a melon at 25m... no problem.
Hopefully I'd never have to make the choice; but I'd rather be shot at by 9mm pistol than a Rem 870 Pistolet from 25m.

I quite like pistol grip shotguns, it's just that I also need a stock if I'm going to hit anything with one

Nah, just practice.

I'm ordering a Fabarm Ultra Short next month. That is one sexy piece of kit, I'll be videoing our first date for posterity....

Is it really legal to own/use a shotgun for 'home defense' in Spain?

Cheers,

Rich
