I have this PSA lower and I've been tossing around the idea of a x39 AR hunting pistol instead of a 9mm rifle. I think either the Thorsden or the Shockwave would give me something to steady a pistol shot for the short ranges I've been encountering deer. I like the Shockwave but I don't think I can trust these game wardens to understand or even care about any explanations I could give them. The appearance of the Thorsden might be odd enough that it wouldn't require as much explanation. But who knows with these guys around here.
