The Knoxx grip is also the only one of these four that is available in a scaled-down version for small-frame (.410, 28ga, and lightweight 20ga) 870s. Other claims include a “compact design” and an “ergonomic pistol grip with integrated non-slip texturing”. The Knoxx BreachersGrip is advertised as being ideal for home defense and close-quarters work, due to its recoil-dampening system that claims to allow for “comfortable one-handed operation”.
Blackhawk (technically BLACKHAWK!, but I prefer not to sound like a 10-year-old typing a shouty YouTube comment) is a part of Vista Outdoor, a massive company that also owns such well-regarded brands as Federal Premium, Uncle Mike’s, RCBS, and Hoppe’s. The Blackhawk BreachersGrip is part of the Knoxx line of shotgun stocks & grips, and incorporates the spring-action recoil-dampening system that the Knoxx line is known for. While the other three grips were generously provided by Brownells for this review, I purchased this Hogue grip myself several years ago. The Tamer grip is also sold in a bundle with a matching rubber-coated fore-end in standard black ($39.95 MSRP), or with special “Zombie Green” rubber ($49.95 MSRP). That’s not bottom-dollar cheap, but it’s still very budget-friendly, and you get a nice set of features for that price. The pistol grip by itself has an MSRP of $29.95, though it can be had for $22 – $25 with a little looking around.

Much like their popular revolver grips, Hogue’s Tamer aims for a hand-filling shape with a full set of finger grooves and symmetric palm swells for both righties & lefties. The grip is advertised as containing “advanced Tamer technology” that helps dampen recoil. The Hogue Tamer pistol grip is part of Hogue’s “Overmolded” line of shotgun furniture, which feature polymer construction with a thin exterior layer of soft, tacky rubber to provide grip. Hogue hardly needs introduction, as it’s practically a household name when it comes to firearm grips and stocks. Without a grip or stock, this gun weighs 5.5 pounds (about 2.5 kg) empty. The fore-end is a long Express synthetic piece, to allow me to move my support hand further back and thus better hold the gun safely out in front of my face while aiming. These pistol grips were tested on a simply-configured Remington 870 Magnum with a cylinder-bore 18.5” bead-sight barrel, a plastic trigger plate (with standard-weight springs all-around), and an Uncle Mike’s magazine cap – under which is a Benelli press-in spring retainer, an S&J Hardware Type 2 follower, and a standard 4-round magazine spring (not the heavy Police 4-round spring). compact & lightweight, and grabby rubber vs. These four grips provide a pretty interesting cross-section of the pistol-grip options for the Remington 870. The four pistol grips I’ll be examining here are the Hogue Tamer, the Blackhawk Knoxx BreachersGrip, the Pachmayr Vindicator Presentation Grip, and the TacStar Tactical Rear Grip. The outline of this review is as follows:

If you don’t have a couple hours to spend reading the ramblings of a detail-obsessed engineer, feel free to skip down to my conclusions at the end, and then back up to any sections that you want to read about in more detail. So, with thanks to Brownells for providing the grips, and to Vitaly for making all the arrangements, I would like to present an in-depth review of four pistol grips for the Remington 870 shotgun – and by “in-depth”, I mean long.
