I remember your comments from another thread. IIRC, you recently bought your Pardner and had excellent feedback regarding the pad. Feedback that did not mirror my experience. Of course I bought my Pardner back in November, and it's possible that Marlin might've upgraded/improved their factory...

I'm very conscious of my stance which, in my mind's eye at least, approximates "tactical correct" ie: the stance demonstrated in that third video. Unfortunately nobody has critiqued my technique yet, as I do most of my shooting alone. It's very possible that I'm not seating the shotgun stock...

I know there are a few folks on here who have the NEF Pardner Protector (tactical shotty). I find the recoil unbearable so, as a solution, I bought the Knoxx Spec Ops Stock from Blackhawk. Installation was a cinch, except for one thing: there's almost an INCH gap between the receiver and stock...

You should mail in that card if you haven't already. I believe I sent mine in right after purchase. I'm Googling this item as I write. There's some info at the Saiga forum. I'd be interested in the *pistol grip stock* especially if it reduces the kick on this Dragon. Did you get it through...

Maybe that's it. I bought mine last November. I assume you bought your Pardner this year, and it came with the newer (and better) pad. Note to self: call NEF on Monday and see if they'll send you one.:D

Correction: the slugs I fired were at 25 yards and they went exactly where I wanted them to go. Next time I'll try the slugs at 50 yds and see what happens, but so far (other than the bruising which *will* be corrected), I'm very happy with this shotgun.

Mine has the ventilated recoil pad and it doesn't absorb the shock much at all. Kind of a hardish rubber, little if no give. Like I said, six shots. I could've shot more but I didn't want to. Firing the slugs left me wincing. I'm not exactly large-framed either so, I feel the jolt even more. I...

Love the NEF shotty, hate the bruising... I got my Pardner Protector, pre-rush, for $159 at Dick's Sporting Goods. Tell me I scored a deal! I finally got a chance to pattern it last week using 7 1/2 target loads, #4 shot, rifled slugs, and 00 buck, all 2.75". And all fired from 10 yards at...

One more thing... Regarding that 239 I tested, the sight dots were pretty worn down (rear dot basically non-existent), plus signs of wear on the slide - proof that it's been "to Hell and back." I don't know how many thousands of rounds that thing fired. But I can attest that it *still* shoots...

Back from the range where I tested the P239 - this one with a Hogue grip, so make that TWO awesome experiences for me. Even though it's a relatively small gun, it has some muscle which takes the brunt of any recoil. And the trigger is simply AMAZING. I shot it well enough and felt confident...

I'd like to know if the SIG in question is a CPO. If so, then my interest level just spiked. Then again, I wonder how long it'll stay on the shelf. They can't sell guns fast enough it seems. Btw, I found a range that has a P239 rental and plan to test it tomorrow. For me it's always try...

UnTainted, Thanks for your reply. Because I've heard that SIGs have excellent re-sale value, $599 didn't really turn me off too much. But your point about the warranty is valid, something I didn't think about. As far as guns breaking, true story: a local gun range where I live doesn't have...

Greetings! First-time user here, and a gun newbie. Can someone tell me if $599 is a good deal on a used SIG P239? I have no information on the gun, haven't seen it in person, but I know that SIGs have a great track record and I want something for CCW. I'm looking at a possible trip to...
