    HD Shotgun Questions - Remington vs. Mossberg vs. etc.

    All three of those shotguns are very simular in function and cleaning, there are a few differences in operation. The Mossberg has a safety on top of the receiver, the other two are down by the trigger guard, this is important if you are a left hand shooter. Both the Rememington and Mossberg...

    Gun sales

    I am employed at a gun store on the west coast, we have experienced a large increase in gun sales since the Katrina aftermath in New Orleans.

    Monte Carlo stock on an 870P?

    Unless you are shooting slugs, you point a shot gun and aim it as you would a rifle. I see no need for the higher cheek weld.

    Home defense... pistol or shotgun

    So I guess I am the first to reply that has gone to a Thunder Ranch class, Classic Clint Smith. "A hand gun is good for only one thing, to fight you back to a real gun." Use the biggest weapon you can control. A short barrel shotgun or carbine would be much better than a handgun, and the 9mm...

    Tred Barta

    Tred makes you wonder how he got a show. I agree he does not put a very good face on hunting. I would like to see his show dropped.

    Tell me about the Smith Model 10.

    My first duty weapon was a model 10, and I recently bought a new one to replace the one I sold when i started carrying a 45 on duty. The model 10 is a joy to shoot. The only problem with it is that it isn't a 357. A better option would be the model 13, the best of both worlds.

    S&W 60 or Ruger SP101?

    I have both, for my money I would go with the SP101, it has a heaver frame and wider sites, the site thing makes it easier to get on target, the frame is a big help in shooting, but not in carrying the gun. For 30 yeasrs I carried a S&W 60 in an ankle holster as a back up weapon on duty, The...

    You can always refuse to allow a consentual search of a vehicle. If the officer feels he has probable cause to search the vehicle he can apply for a search warrant. The question that seems to jump out of from this posting is, Why are you concerned about your vehicle being searched, is there...

    Question for speed strip users...

    I carried a S&W model 60 for 30 years as a back up with speed strips in my shirt pocket. When I started in law enforcement and before I bought my first set of speed loaders I carried speed strips in a pouch on my sam browne, but that was many years ago.
