Question about grips

[Blundering Rookie]

Is Tediore grip on a Tediore shotgun desirable? I got a deliverance with a tediore grip and im wondering if thats ideal.

[Renfrew]

Yes this is ideal. Generally with guns a matching grip is best, apart from some notable exceptions (e.g. lady fist - Jakobs is amazing with it).

Using a level 50 Gentle Octo (i.e. Vertial Grip - +2 pellet count prefix) as an example, you would have the following stats:
Bandit grip: 4750x12 damage - 92.0 Accuracy - 1.8 Fire Rate - 2.8 Reload Speed - 7 Magazine size
Hyperion grip: 4461x12 damage - 93.9 Accuracy - 1.8 Fire Rate - 2.5 Reload Speed - 6 Magazine size
Jakobs grip: 5135x12 damage - 93.0 Accuracy - 1.7 Fire Rate - 2.6 Reload Speed - 6 Magazine size
Tediore grip: 4558x12 damage - 93.0 Accuracy - 1.8 Fire Rate - 2.0 Reload Speed - 8 Magazine size
Torgue grip: 5039x12 damage - 92.3 Accuracy - 1.8 Fire Rate - 2.8 Reload Speed - 6 Magazine size

As you can see in this grip comparison, the Tediore grip wins due to its superior reload speed and slightly better magazine size, despite not having the best theoretical DPS. That's why it is important to look at all stats not just the damage and fire rate.

Wow you must play this game ALOT to know this important/detailed information

I have indeed been playing this game a while, but my Steam playtime doesn't reflect how long I have been playing for; I used to play on Xbox 360 before I migrated. I of course don't have the stats memorised, because there are way too many guns, but I do have spreadsheets filled with this data, so I just resort to them when I need exact values (e.g. reload speed, mag size, etc.).

@OP. There is a good guide that tells you how the various weapon parts interact.

Generally the parts from the same manufacturer are best, but not always.

@Renfrew. Darn, I thought I was geeky having spreadsheets to keep track of my various prestige characters.

[Renfrew]

I'll summarise my geekiness: If I can make a spreadsheet for a game, I probably will, unless the game already has a system that negates the need for me to keep track of everything.
