OK. Would someone explain to me just why anyone would want these things on their guns. What good are they? Does anyone grip their gun in front of the wood forend? If so, Why????
On some of my S X S guns, which have very short splinter forends, I do grip slightly ahead of the front of the f/e. I have longish arms and it feels wrong to grip way back in a strange place just because the f/e is short. I am a creature of habit who likes consistency in my shooting. But, I shoot a lot of different guns with different configurations, so that's my reason.
That's just my reason.
