I doubt the new pistol grip stock blocks the safety, just for reasons of product liability. But even so, a pistol grip stock places the hand in an extremely inconvenient position for using the Mossberg safety. For that reason alone I wouldn't use such a stock on a Mossberg. On the other hand the Mossberg safety is very convenient to use with a conventional stock and is easily observed to verify safe condition. Cymond

Exactly under that area that's now covered with polymer ... how does that work? I admit that I don’t own a Mossberg 500 (yet), but isn’t the safety on the top-back of the receiver?

I wouldn't look forward to spending a day training with that cheese grater. I’d like it better if that forend side rail was molded in and they smoothed out the rest.
