Thank for the additional responses. I've heard of snap caps, but, I didn't actually know they made 12 ga size. I'm going to order some tonight, thanks very much for that recommendation. Al LaVodka, special thanks to you. I think your answer is perfect. I can load it exactly like the owners...

Alex23, I agree with you 100%. I do need practice, I hope to get some this weekend after next. I wouldn't mistake and suggestion for being mean. :D It's only logical to be familiar with your firearms. I have 4 boxes of 8 shot just dying to ruin some skeet's day. :D I'm glad to hear the...

Thank you all. :D HuntandFish special thanks, that's exactly what I was looking for. ;) Thanks for your time guys. I appreciate the help.

I don't want to leave it in a ready to fire condition. I was hoping that I could load the magazine tube and then if I absolutely had to in a SHTF situation, if pulling locking the receiver back and then releasing it would fire a shell. Or would I have to lock the action back, load a...

Hi friends, I'm a reader, not much of a poster. I have a Mossberg 930 and I'm not sure of how to keep it loaded safely. The owners manual says lock receiver back, load 1st shell, release the receiver, load the magazine tube. That only leaves the plastic safety between me and a live trigger...

Thanks for the responses guys. :) I'm taking the advice to heart. I've registered with gunbroker now and I'm keeping my eyes open. I got a couple PMs from people and everybody has been very helpful. There's a Model 10 in my state on gunbroker and I if I can win the auction in the 220 range, I...

Thanks again for all the responses guys. I read your responses and rode around to the pawn shops and gun stores. I found a couple firearms of interest, but prices were high. The only 9x18 I found found was priced at 279. I handled it a little, but, really it didn't have me interested enough to...

Thanks for all the quick responses. :) I checked out the links and the cz70 is tempting. I know the local gun store sells the 32acp. It's a good package (comes with holster, 2 mags for $170), but, revolvers generally seem more reliable. As one of you said "a revolver has never FTE." I may...

Hi everybody, I'm Marble. I live in the Carolina's and I'm looking for some help picking out a revolver. To make a really long story short, I'm out of work. Because of that we're relying on my wife's income, which means that she and I had to move to a 'questionable' side of town. I'm going to...
