I agree on rifles a thumb-hole or pistol grip style on a rifle gives for a more natural trigger pull and is probably a little more comfortable. I think a shotgun though, points easier and faster with a normal style grip. I don't know, personal preference I guess.
I know, the same reason Remington is now putting out triangle shaped barrels, supposedly more rigid, better cooling, and great for marketing.
But in reality a fluted barrel is less rigid vs. a barrel of the same diameter w/o flutes. so buying a 1" bull barrel and fluting it is pretty much a waste of money. However a barrel with flutes vs. a barrel of the same weight without flutes is more rigid, so a fluted 1" barrel may be as rigid as a .750" non-fluted barrel (I don't know the actual proportion, merely making a point). Which means you still really aren't gaining anything, you might as well go with the 1" bull and get it more rigid still. But they do look cool.
I stand by my original point that guns are built to bag more hunters than game.
