With my legal handgun carry privileges being in danger of expiring during the COVID crisis, I took another look at this type of weapon, which, back in the Eighties/Nineties, we usually called “Witness Protection” shotguns, due to the US Marshals Service actually having issued such weapons, in a time when controlled-expansion handgun bullet technology was not what it has become, today. I had, in the early Nineties, taught myself to fire my Wingmaster/Police 870, with its stock folded, in the extended-arm style, finding it quite non-punishing, if not nearly as fast shot-to-shot, as firing with the normally-shouldered method. When I bought a Benelli M1 Super 90, to use as a duty shotgun, I changed my 870 to pistol-grip-only configuration. Sadly, a burglar then stole the 870.
Well, my Remington Tac 14, Marine Magnum, should be available for pick-up, at a local gun shop, within a week. A Tuffy Products lock-box, to accommodate it, inside my truck’s cab, is out for delivery, today.
