Thanks all. I think Lee's suggestion just might work. jfruser, I have considered that. A friend has a Mossberg with the folding stock. We plan on getting me a range trip to observe if it works or not.

This is a dilemma. My arms are short. Waaay short. I just picked up an 870 that had been modified for someone’s kid. It had a 11.3//4” LOP. I had to make some spacers for it, and now it fits me perfect with a 12 ½” pull. The LOP fits me perfect. Unfortunately, I still can’t reach the...

Empty chamber. Hammer down (so I won't have to feel for the slide release, or pull the trigger). Safety off. No Kids, no roommate, Just me. I want it to be as simple as possible. Just rack the slide, and point and shoot.

I was wondering about that. Figured you'd correct me if I guessed wrong.

Thanks Jason. Personally, I don't think that 3.5" is nearly enough penetration. 12" sounds pretty good, but won't that be about what low recoil buck with do? Conventional wisdom is that more is required. I will however admit that this is just knowledge that I gathered from the internet...

At what distance were those tests?

I saw one of these 10-shot extensions for a Winchester a couple weeks ago on sale. http://www.tacstar.com/magazine-extensions-02.php Got me to thinking what it would look like on the end of a 1200 Defender. Don't know how it would work (if at all), but if I could squeeze 13 shots out of a...

I always figured that, "If it's too weak to penetrate the walls, then it probably won't do what I want it to do when it lands where I want it to." LL has it IMHO. Know your target, your field of fire, and your gun. I just obtained a 870 P vintage 1984 that the smith put a short stock on...

I'm more liable to believe the problems with the semiautos was more due to the shooters or ammo than the gun. Probably more the shooters than the gun. When I took my class, I had problems with my G19. We were only allowed to load six rounds at a time, and every time I slammed home a mag...

In my local gun shop, it's possible to see the same model at different prices. They price the gun when it comes in, and it stays at that price until it's sold. If it's still there after a price hike, it stays at the same price. So, if another gun of the same make and model comes in costing...

May I also suggest reading the following. http://thefiringline.com/forums/showthread.php?s=&threadid=11646 I'd been hunting with a Shotgun for 30 years before reading that thread. Amazing what how I learned to control the recoil of a shotgun just by sitting and reading that thread. I...

Last year I posted that I recently came into a Winchester 120. Withing a few months someone came along offering me a barrel for it. I didn't have the money at the time, so I passed on it. Didn't matter since I was able to pick up a Defender 1300. For the price of an additional barrel, one...

Probably more of the latter than the former. It could also involve matters which surround legal proceedings, which would most likely require silence. Your last point is well noted, and commonly accepted. Many people waive their rights for exactly this reason. Sadly enough, if a person is...

This is similar to the question about if someone had to actually use their gun in SD. While some may well be willing to share, there may still be others who are not. A difference between the two is that in the latter case the offenders are law enforcement officers who have much more power over...

I also agree. You claim that you perceive our exercising our rights against unreasonable search and seizures (as well as privacy) is indication that we are Then you wonder why there is a lack of trust. This after the line of You might want to reconsider exactly who it is who is More and more...

Unless it's Colt or FN, then chances are it's made to mil-spec. Mil-spec requires it to go through the government testing, and I believe Colt is the only one who has that in house. The others may well be made too military specifications, but are not mil-spec. Even with Colt, the chances of...

I don't think anyone here truly disputes the need for officer safety. I think what is being called into issue is the manner in which this officer acted. In case anyone is paying attention, her actions were also called into dispute by her chain of command. Securing the home owner under the...

Yes, we can. It's got nothing to do with the gun shop. It's the criminals.

Not true. MCL 750.234d states that a person may not possess a firearm in a theater. It makes no stipulation on building capacity, but it does make an exception (subsection 2c) for people who have a CPL. MCL 28.425o restricts people with a CPL from carrying a concealed pistol into an...
