Leads me to think that some wax slugs made from Winchester AA's in #9 would do the trick...

So I took an unplanned trip to the range today. 25 yard indoor. Took my 12ga with some light-recoil slugs, AR15, and my carry pistol - M&P Shield 9mm. Of the (3), I'm by far, most comfortable with the pistol. It doesn't get any simpler than a striker fired pistol, with no manual safeties, and...

Slight thread derail, (and I'm fine with it.) But I don't understand the fascination with pump shotguns for defensive work. Will they work? Sure. So would a single action revolver, but I don't see people recommending them for everyday carry. Under stress, the likely hood of screwing up the...

Perhaps at a casual glance, in a non-permissive environment, it doesn't necessarily "look" like a gun. Whereas a handgun obviously "looks" like a gun. Otherwise, I agree with you. Not something I would be interested in personally.

If you have time, on your "rifle," could you post a photo of your sight picture, showing the RDS and the front post? Also, if your RDS is absolute, or lower co-witnessed. I've always been curious of the sight picture of such a combination. Seems like having a fixed/A2 front post would be...

Sounds a lot like a handgun with big dot sights, if we're being honest. (Not that I disagree with you, at all BTW...)

Unpopular opinion - Sell something else in order to finance a good pocket knife. It's something that you'll use every single day... Now, with that out of the way, let's take a close look at what you're wanting here. Just a very good EDC knife, or a tailored fighting/defense knife? I've...

Not sure if this is a review, a request, or what...? How old, but more importantly, what physical height, weight, build etc is your son? Are you asking for more suggestions on shotguns, or no?

Slippery? You taking this thing swimming...?

I currently have a Magpul MS1 sling, mounted via the rear sling loop on a USGI CAR stock, and on a Magpul M-Lok GI sling loop, about halfway down the length of a Magpu SL handguard. Lets me grip up close to the mag well if I want (yuck) or our nearer the front sight post/gas block. No optic...

Why not a regular mossberg/maverick stock?

The current "what was that bump in the night?" gun is a S&W M&P full size, 9mm pistol with tritium sights. I want to go ahead and replace these with XS big dots to match my carry gun - M&P Shield in 9mm. Both loaded with Hornady 135gr Critical Duty. Certainly, either could fill in just fine. I...

I appreciate this post - Thank you. "Home" is a 1/4 acre lot in an older subdivision. Tri-level house, with all bedrooms upstairs. "The Shot" most likely would be down the steps from our master bedroom, into a dimly lit kitchen area. Seeing the front sight is the issue currently. This is what...

What kind of shotgun? How tall is your neck? Traditional stock for sure. If you have a shorter neck, a Mossberg, Winchester, Browning, FN stock out of the box will likely "fit" pretty well, even before shims. If you have a longer neck (like me,) a Remington, Beretta, Benelli stock will fit...

So I already have a new fore end, and sling. Have a sizeable collection of 10, 20 & 30round PMAGs. A 30 lives in the gun. (I have noticed that Gen3 PMAG's load better on a closed bolt, due to their slight ramp above the magazine catch detent on the magazine.) Perhaps a better question(s) would...
