All I have to say is, I'm glad the injury wasn't worse. The idea of a close-range bullet wound to a KNEE just freaks me out. (Not that it would be WORSE than a torso hit, but for some reason it is scarier. I'm eccentric that way.)
Here is a solution if you are willing to buy a new light. Leapers LED with a Laserlyte tri-rail, utilizing the magazine rather than the barrel or forend. SOME good reviews. Under $70 total.
Edit: if you like the idea of a forend attachment per se, there is also ATI's rail-on-the-forend...
I was trying to combine that image w/ reports of mobs shouting "kill all the [specific race]!!" but not with a previous direct assault on BBroadside/Hackman.
Here is a photograph depicting the situation I am imagining in this scenario:
Imagine this mob has you back against, say, a right angle formed by a brick wall and a fiercely burning bus.
I personally could not blend into this mob. They are not sprinting towards the cameraman (my...
Some things to take a look at:
Leatherwood Tactical for light mounts for 870 (can't find a link!)
Picatinny rails that replace the 870's forend are made by Fab Defense and Surefire. This option may be the most flexible in terms of what lights you can attach. Check out the options at...
Reasons this is hard to work through:
My first move would be to tell them to leave in a loud, steady voice. Maybe hold up a hand to signal STOP. Odds of my voice sounding unruffled in this scenario are about zero, but I guess I'd give it a try. Assume that they keep coming....
Some say you...
Here is a scenario I came up with the other day just to stump myself.
I'm carrying concealed, with a permit and all, so it's legal for whatever state I'm in. For whatever reason (flat tire, misunderstood directions, etc.), I'm in the wrong place when a riot breaks out. People are doing...
The gun stores in my area don't have to worry about competition from Wal-Mart. Every time I've asked Wal-Mart employees about guns (if they could be found at all) they always seem completely clueless and distracted.
I did the same thing when I first got my 642. I couldn't believe its "inherent accuracy" was that low! Lucky for me, I began recalling a thread I read on the subject on this very site, after I had wasted 50 rounds but before slinking home feeling silly. After I got the lolly-pop-thing right...
I've often wondered how short-barrelled shotguns and AOWs would have developed in the total absence of legal interference. Anyone know if there are any countries that don't have special regs for these weapons? I was wondering what home-grown equivalents to the Serbu there were - not for import...

If that's true, is there no real advantage in exposed hammers on a side-by-side shotgun? I hear that configuration touted for HD, beyond "any old double shotgun".
Well, I'm glad I started this thread, because I subjected my 870 Express to the test specified by Lee Lapin ... and it failed. A gentle pull back on the forearm causes it to be released backwards immediately when the trigger is pulled, whether or not I'm using snap caps.
Boo. Guess I need...
I think it was the blunderbuss, mid-17th Century.
Beyond that, I gather Confederate cavalry carried short shotguns, which at the time would have been muzzle-loading, side-by-side smoothbores, if I'm mistaken. A wise man could tell us if they were flintlocks or percussion, but I'll bet on...
Yeah, snap caps are the all-green plastic ones with the brass bases ... DOH!!
Actually, the maroon color of the A-Zooms was well chosen. Never seen a real shell that color. 'Course, the A-Zooms are all metal too, so I could tell in the dark. Not that I'd have too.
I am pleased by your...
Oh I get it. So a nice light load (like my first 50 rounds) doesn't require too tight a grip on the forend to keep the action shut, but the slugs (which kicked about as hard as everyone says, so I wasn't surprised) are a different matter. Having the action open on its own probably rattled me...
Today I shot two rounds of skeet. So my Remington 870 Express 12-gauge digested 50 rounds of #8 no problem.
Then I decided to try out the new slug barrel I got and the five rounds of Brenneke K.O. slugs. First shot, and the action opened by itself. My 870 thought she was an autoloader for...
I personally have tons of stupid question idea but I'm too chicken to post them. Why put a laser and a red dot on the same gun? Would you buy a .454 Casull / .410 shotshell revolver? If there were no NFA taxes on smoothbore pistols (AOWs), short-barreled weapons, etc., what would you own?*...
