M16 Look-alike Shotguns
Must admit to never having been bitten by the current M16 mania, but here are some "M16" shotguns for those who like that look. www.tomahawk.com.tr

Re: M16 Look-alike Shotguns
I'll stick with a Remington or Mossberg.
I will say one thing in favor of pistol grip shotguns though- Where I live you can only hunt deer with shotguns and muzzle loaders, and it is usually pretty cold during deer season so you wear a lot of clothes. I have a pair of insulated coveralls that I typically wear when hunting, and once I missed a quick shot because (visualize this) when you shoulder a gun with a straight grip your elbow has to stick out from your body. If you have several layers of baggy clothes on, all of the clothing will often hang up and slow you down a bit. I realized that a pistol grip allows your elbow to be tucked in close to your body, and so would be faster to shoulder when heavily dressed, but it is a minor issue most of the time.

Re: M16 Look-alike Shotguns
I have to try shooting with multiple layers of clothes. Havent noticed the issue as yet..especially since I dont hunt.
However I do have a Mossberg Maverick, and am quite content with it.
