Hmmmmm........my last concern when I introduced this topic was whether someone could actually cut themselves on the beveled edge of a side clip. Interesting, as I have never heard of this, but in retrospect I can see how that could happen. Rather, the jlist of the question is really whether the lateral forces or , the rotatational forces......or torque.....a twisting-like motion that a shotgun demonstrates upon detonation is not diminished but rather offset with these side clips?? Does this force really have anything to do with SxS shotguns where these side clips would diminish the stress on the action? As a person of science, I'm having difficulty appreciating where sideclips would really do any good at all.
