Thumbless Shotgun Grip

[T4rdV4rk]

A right handed coworker of mine recently lost his left thumb. It was reattached but he will likely not be able to grip a long gun front end.

Does anyone know of a product made to aid shooters who are disabled in this way? I'm thinking of a hook mounted under the front end that would interface with the open hand to control recoil and muzzle rise.

Mount a hand stop backwards and forwards. There are dozens of options for these. If you don't have a rail, there are versions that are just bolt-on.

Have him attend an Appleseed or Revere's Riders and learn the proper use of a sling. I don't really use my left thumb at all when using a sling.

When pumping a shotgun? (I am assuming it's a pump, for which I have no evidence other than "shotgun".)

Agreed on the use of a sling in this manner for any firearms not requiring manipulation of the front end.

I don't see anything in the OP implying a pump shotgun, but that's a simple fix.

Heh, I forgot all about those straps. Didn't Mossberg provide those on some guns for a while? Sorry OP, no more threadjack, I promise!

Yeah they came on the Tactical 500.
