I live just across the border from NY State, and have hunted there a few times but not in about 5 years. I'm looking into a hunt there next year and have come across the issue of pistol grips. I've read what I can find an it seems our Rem 870 with fixed stock pistol grip is OK, but I'm not clear on whether a fixed stock pistol grip SA-20 is legal or not. Can anyone confirm if a typical semi-auto "turkey gun" is legal in NY?
Bud that law is so confusing I know gun shops that won't answer that question. I would HIGHLY suggest calling the DEC and asking them. Thumbhole stocks are another confusing one.

All of those features are ok if the gun is a pump gun. Go figure.
That is the definition for rifles not shotguns. Same site just click shotguns.
Pistol grips on shotguns are fine. Not thumbhole.

Do you know NJ laws on this same matter.
Might also wanna look into the legality of ported choke tubes. Especially in conjunction with some of the gun's features.
yes an 870 and a SA 20, SA-459 are legal with a fixed pistol grip stock in NY , myself and many of my friends hunt with them, I asked a DEC officer personal when this ridicules communist law first came out. Ported chokes are also legal.
I consider gun laws suggestions.

The law is referring to the 'point system' for a semi-auto rifle with a detachable magazine. NY only allows 1 point. Your shotgun is fine unless somehow you altered it with a detachable mag.
I live in NY, shotgun pistol grip is OK as far as I know.
On shotguns, not rifles, pistol grips are ok.
But no thumbhole stocks on shotguns. I know stupid.
Only talking about semiautomatic guns. Pumps no problem.
