Odin stock

lugerholsterrepair · 06-22-2019, 08:21 PM

Am I the only one that doesn't really care much for pistol shoulder stocks? Probably not but anyone who feels this way may be missing the point. Pistol stocks were an expediency that made a pistol serve two masters. One close for defense and one long for offense. They were an answer to a perceived military problem. How to employ a self defense arm as an offensive weapon to obviate the use of it up close.

That a modern civilian pistol shooter does not care for this double use doesn't surprise me at all. It was purely for military problem solving. Not civilian pistol target shooting.
