Mesa Tactical
What image comes to your mind when someone mentions shotguns? If you aren’t a gun geek and lack visual savviness, you’ll probably imagine a shotgun with traditional wood stock, just like your grandpa owns. However, today’s shooters have the freedom of choice, and your own one doesn’t need to be all traditional if you don’t want it. All devoted shotgun manufacturers, like Mossberg, Remington, Benelli, and Beretta, produce tactical semi-auto shotguns, which you can further upgrade with tactical stocks, Picatinny rails, and other accessories seen in AR-15 and other semi-auto rifles. They will help you turn your shotgun into a functional home defense weapon.
If you’re looking for quality upgrades, consider Mesa Tactical. With nearly twenty years in business, the company has gained solid expertise in shotgun enhancements.
The Mesa Urbino Pistol Grip Stock System is probably the best gift for your shotgun. The system was developed with the needs of military and law enforcement operators in mind, so if it works for them, it will definitely work for you as well. The Urbino features a reduced 12.5-inch length-of-pull for maneuverability in close-quarter environments, a Santoprene rubber pistol grip for less fatigue and more control, and multiple sling attachment points. A recoil-reducing butt pad and an adjustable cheek riser are optional.
This Mesa Tactical Stock is compatible with the Beretta 1301, Remington 870/1100/1187, Mossberg 930, and Benelli M1/M2/M3/M4/SuperNova.
The company also manufactures the Mesa Tactical LEO stock adapters that mimic the stock attachment point of the AR-15 lower receiver allowing your shotgun to accept AR-15 stocks. Such an upgrade gives your shotgun similar handling characteristics to the AR-15. The Mesa Tactical adapter is compatible with the Remington 870, Mossberg 590/500/Maveric 88, and Beretta 1301.
At Gritr Sports, you can also shop for Mesa Tactical shell carriers with and without integral Picatinny rails, magazine clamps, and other shotgun enhancements.
