Clint Smith was wringing one out on last week's Personal Defense TV. Cool looking wheelie. Link to stats: http://www.thunderranchinc.com/swtrr2.html S.R.

I got to handle a M&P 340 this weekend. It's interesting how differently that steel cylinder makes the revolver feel versus my pet 340PD with its titanium wheel. Mine wears the CT 405s and has the light-collecting front sight, so I really like the look of the CT-equipped M&P 340. I might have...

"Dawn of the Dead" - great movie! Especially for the shotgun fans. Ving's 870 was a wooden-stocked Police model with a Surefire foreend and no mag extension. You can actually see him screwing the light onto the front during one of the group shots in the mall (Ving will be on the right side...

Steve - thanks for all the info. That varifies what I've read elsewhere, regarding the installation must contain pinning, etc. Meanwhile ... I'm hearing more about the Remington 870 P MAX. It's supposed to come from the factory with the Wilson/XS sights, 18" IC barrel, 2-rd mag extension...

Dave - you've got a bead on your HD 870, right?

Mike - I'm glad you are so positive about the rifle sights. One of the 870P models that I am leaning toward is the #4885 which features a factory 7-shot extension and rifle sights. Like you, I would replace the factory steel sights with the tritium XS units. I think that would be one nasty...

Well, I've helped answer my own questions a little bit. I found this thread interesting. http://www.shotgunworld.com/bbs/viewtopic.php?t=8432&highlight=wilson+sights

Thanks for the replies, gang. Steve - I started another thread on this topic. But, have you installed the Wilson sights at home? This may well dictate which new 870P I purchase. I'm with you as far as liking the look of the Wilson sight. I will likely use my 870 Express, that I describe...

Can anyone comment on the installation of these sights? I've searched the threads here, but I can't find a good discussion of the difficulty level of the install. I don't have the directions for the installation (I am considering the purchase of these sights), but from what I've read the...

I'll confirm your review that the Hogue stock is short (12-inch LOP). I had one on my 870 for a few weeks. Shouldered it several dozen times, practiced handling it, and I came to the same conclusion. It's sitting in my spare 870 parts box. I got a Speed Feed 13-inch LOP shorty stock. That...

Okay, let me rephrase this question ... If you were going to buy a brand new 870 Police Magnum, which configuration would you choose and why? Thanks.

Hi folks. I'm a frequent reader here, and a few months ago I asked for your help with a build up of my 870 Express Magnum. With your input (and a few generous Christmas gifts), that SG turned out great! I ended up added a Surefire frontend, Wilson 1-round mag extension, Speed Feed 13-inch LOP...

In my continuing fascination with the SG, I've started to seriously think about going through the additional effort to acquire a short-barreled SG. From what I’ve read, OH is NFA-friendly, and a civilian can own a SBS legally with the appropriate federal paperwork/tax stamp, etc. My...

Is Ohio SBS friendly? If so, where do I get the paperwork for purchase/transfer? Thanks.

Does anyone know the weight difference between the 918 and the 618? Or, can you describe if the two front ends "feel" different? No weight description on the Surefire website that I can find. Thanks.
