Yeah, it's just the tang safety that makes pistol grips more cumbersome. I'll be honest, I've never actually held the 88, I assumed it was just a cheapskate version of my beloved 500.
What really gets me chuckling is how easy it would have been to spend a month or two studying the basics of the thing, find a place to shoot one in person, maybe even buy a replica to practice some kind of manual of arms, and by the time he did that he probably could have put aside the extra few hundred to get a better gun. Truly a 'deletes his million subscriber channel' move.
We don't follow these people because they do smart things.
