Thanks for the welcome RTFM. Yeah, concerning the adherence to rules & regs, I may be a newbie (to shotguns) but I'm not a dummy. I've only shot the 870 (or any shotgun, for that matter) once with birdshot and was just shooting to get a feel for it and check that the gun functioned properly...

I'm very new to revolvers (3 weeks) and relatively new to semiautos (glocks in 9mm, .40, .45 cal - 6 mos.), so what I say might not be valid for those more experienced. It's somewhat embarrassing to admit, but I've already picked up both a 2 1/4" and a 3 1/16" Ruger SP-101 and a 4" Ruger...
